Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes’ Presence Gives Paul Pogba ‘The Respect He Actually Deserves’

There has been speculation before that Paul Pogba is looking for a way out from Manchester United. Despite this, the midfielder is inclined to stay with the team due to the addition of Bruno Fernandes.

The star qualities of Pogba have been revitalized as of late with how the team has been performing. While it is expected that he would carry the offensive burden of the team, the addition of Fernandes has helped take the pressure off his shoulders.

The cohesiveness of Manchester United has improved and has brought them enough momentum to dominate in the past few weeks. The resumption of the games has featured Manchester United bouncing back as strong as ever in their performances. This has been evident in how the Red Devils have regrouped to rally for a possible Champions League berth. One of the main reasons for their strong run is how Fernandes has helped Pogba as a dynamic duo.

Per Talk Sport, football journalist Adrian Durham shared that the signing of Fernandes has been pivotal for Manchester United.

“He [Fernandes] has been a brilliant signing for Manchester United. I think that signing of Bruno Fernandes has finally given Paul Pogba the respect he actually deserves,” Durham said.

It has been an interesting relationship in the past year with Pogba and United as there have been several instances where the 27-year-old expressed his desire to leave. But with the major signing of the prolific Fernandes, the chemistry of the team changed. The addition of two-time footballer of the year caused some major changes in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.

“The philosophy with Pogba was sign him for £89million, throw him into the Manchester United team and he’s going to solve all the problems,” Durham continued.

With the bonus of someone like Fernandes’ caliber now gives the Red Devils an edge that will complement Pogba’s skills.

“At long, long last Manchester United have finally given that respect to Paul Pogba and said to him we’re going to sign players you should be playing with,” Durham added.

The pair of Pogba and Fernandes has been dominant as of late and continues to pull off phenomenal football on the field. It will be a crucial set of matches for the Old Trafford-based squad and will test how strong the new duo of Pogba and Fernandes really is in the deeper stretch of the season.
