Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has opined that his teammates, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba as two of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

United snapped up Fernandesas a possible replacement for wantaway Pogba who was sidelined for most of the 2019/20 season due to injury.

However, with the COVID-19 interruption, United is set to take advantage of Pogba's return from injury and field both players together as the PL restarts on June 17.

As a result, Shaw, like every other United fan, is excited to see the two paired alongside each other.

"[Bruno]'s been so important, with the chances he's created, the goals he's scored and, hopefully, there's still much more to come from him," said Shaw.

"I'm sure he's still settling into the Premier League to an extent, which makes what he's done all the more impressive.

"He was paired with Paul in a small training group last week, which people saw on the videos, and we saw flashes of what they were capable of.

"The coaches have switched it up so it's not just them on the same team and it's quite nice to see them battling against each other – they've already had some great games against each other – but, personally, I'm really looking forward to seeing them line up together."

"They're probably two of the best midfielders in the [Premier League] right now, I'd say, so it's going to be fascinating to see them play together."[Tribal Football]
