Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes relishing prospect of playing alongside ‘amazing’ Paul Pogba

Portuguese midfielder reinvigorated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side after arriving in the January transfer window

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is relishing the “amazing” opportunity to play alongside Paul Pogba when the Premier League season resumes.

The 25-year-old joined United in January and reinvigorated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s inconsistent side, scoring three goals and contributing four assists in nine appearances.

However, he is yet to play in tandem with Pogba, who underwent foot surgery in January and has missed the large majority of the season.

“I think everyone is excited to see Pogba play again after his long injury,” Portugal midfielder Fernandes told TalkSport. “For me, playing alongside him will be amazing. Everyone wants to play with the best players and Pogba is one of them.

“But we have a lot of good players and the most important thing is the results.”

United will resume their pursuit of a Champions League place on Friday evening when they take on top-four rivals Tottenham in north London.

Solskjaer’s side will trail fourth-placed Chelsea by three points heading into the fixture.
