Bruno Fernandes And Paul Pogba Can Play Together For Manchester United – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists Paul Pogba is still in his plans at Manchester United and new signing Bruno Fernandes can play alongside the Frenchman in midfield.

Fernandes completed his £67.7m move to Old Trafford this week and is expected to go straight into the squad for the Premier League clash with Wolves on Saturday.
Pogba remains sidelined with an ankle injury that has seen him make just two substitute appearances since September and the 26-year-old shows little sign of returning in the near future.
The World Cup winner is widely expected to be sold in the summer, with his contract expiring in 2021, but Solskjaer insists he wants to keep his squad together, and that Fernandes and Pogba can operate together, thanks to the Portuguese star’s versatility.‘Bruno can play with good players yes and Bruno is… he can do absolutely everything apart from… he’s my size, so he is probably not a target man in the box but he is such a good footballer,’ said the United boss.

‘He can play with good players around him, he can play in a three man midfield, he can play as a 10 he can play in off the side, he can play in a diamond, we will give him his time to find his best position. We want to try to build towards a team that will challenge for the title and trophies, so we want to keep our best players. We can play them [Pogba and Fernandes] together.’
