Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that game creator Bruno Fernandes and record-breaking signing Paul Pogba can form a strong midfield partnership when the Premier League season resumes after the interruption of Covid-19.
The 25-year-old Fernandes, who joined United from Sporting Lisbon in January, recorded three goals and four assists in nine games, adding creativity to the team with Pogba out of action due to a foot injury.
Restricted to eight appearances in all competitions this season, Pogba was prepared to return before the campaign was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak, and Solskjaer said the Frenchman and Fernandes can prosper together.
“Good players can always play together, so they definitely can … it’s a big yes,” Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
“I have Scott (McTominay), Fred, Nemanja (Matic). There are many games to come. I am sure we can find a good connection between them. We have been discussing that as a team of coaches and we are looking forward to it.
“Of course, Bruno came in, causing the impact he made, it was a boost for everyone, the club, the fans and the players. Recovering Paul and Marcus Rashford (back injury) would be fantastic.”
The 20 Premier League clubs have discussed plans to resume training in May, followed by a possible return to action in June, provided the blocking restrictions in Britain are eased.
United is fifth in the league with 45 points in 29 games.
