Manchester United should reunite Paul Pogba with Bruno Fernandes
Pogba and Bruno have a special connection off the pitch and regularly send each other messages over social media.
Recently, Bruno responded to Pogba upon his return to football training, which sparked fans’ interest in seeing the Frenchman back at Old Trafford even on a short-term contract.
The pair of talented midfielders only played 79 games together, combining directly for eight goals in that time, but this came as Pogba struggled for form and fitness, which means it is a shame we didn’t see more.
It would be a good move from United to sign Pogba to a short-term deal on cheap figures, considering a lack of options in the No.10 position and he could be key in salvaging something this season for free.
