Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is confident that Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes will prove to be an effective partnership in Manchester United midfield.
Before the Premier League restart, there was excitement about a possible connection between the duo, with Pogba recovering from an ankle operation during the three-month break.
Both players were named on United’s starting line-up for their 3-0 win against Sheffield United on Wednesday night after being interlinked five days earlier at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
There were questions about whether a midfield trio consisting of both Fernandes and Pogba as well as we and another player would have enough defensive stability, but Carrick is confident that United will be able to strike the right balance in the middle of the field to find.
“It is understandable why many of the questions are:” Can you play together? “Because they’re two fantastic talents,” said Carrick ESPN before United’s win in Norwich on Saturday.
“We feel like we have a really good balance between all the boys in midfield. It’s kind of unfair to ask them if they can play together because the other boys did a great job and have a lot to say.” also.
“Of course it’s about Bruno and Paul and I’m sure they can play together. That’s why they’re both here in the club and I’m sure they look forward to it. But as Bruno and Paul would understand I say it is not just about them. “
Nemanja Matic, Fred, Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira are just four more midfield options for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Carrick says everyone will play a role in achieving the goal of playing Champions League football next season.
“We have so many other options with guys who have already proven what they bring to the team. It is exciting to have that,” he added. “They all bring something different and everyone has their own strengths.”
