However, the pair haven’t started together since United’s humiliation 6-1 at home to Tottenham, but Fernandes said they have a good relationship.
“We both speak Italian, so most of the time we speak Italian,” Fernandes told Sky Sports. “I have a good relationship with him on and off the field.
“He’s a funny guy, he always wants to joke. I already know him from Italy, but now I have the opportunity to be in a team with a World Cup winner.
“It’s always a pleasure to be on a team with him because I can learn a lot from him, and he can learn a lot from me. Together we can do great things.”
Pogba has been a starter on the bench in the last two league games but Fernandes insists the French international is not bothered by the situation.
“Of course Paul is an incredible player who has done a lot of great things in recent years. The way he came in against Paris Saint-Germain, against Newcastle, he was perfect for the team.
“Many people may think that Paul is angry at the bank and that he will not do anything when he comes in because he is angry, but he arrives with the right motivation, as we saw with his attendance in Paris.
“He was there, he was fighting, holding the ball in the corner for us, he did a very good job. Maybe some think he was angry because he wanted to play and that he wants to leave the club. Everyone knows the qualities.” Paul has, he’s doing very well.
Being on the bench is a problem for everyone, but this problem is a motivation for Paul. He uses it as motivation and is helping the team a lot when he comes in and plays, as he did in the last game of the Champions League. . “
Both players will look to appear when United host Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday when manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer takes over the club for the hundredth time.
