Pogba and Fernandes may not play together - Berbatov

Dimitar Berbatov has stated that he doubts Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba can play together in the Manchester United team.

Bruno Fernandes joined United from Sporting Lisbon in the January transfer window and has scored two goals with five assists which have earned him the English Premier League Player of the Month Award.

All the while, Pogba has been out injured but is fast recovering and will soon reunite with the team.

However, Berbatov who once played for United doubts Pogba's combination with Fernandes will click.

“I don’t know if Fernandes and Pogba can play together,” Berbatov wrote in his Betfair column.

“As a fan of Paul Pogba, I want him to stay at United, I think it would be best for him, but I am curious to see how he will link up with Fernandes.

“Sometimes footballers are too similar to play together. But I hope that’s not the case here because, with Fernandes and Pogba in the same midfield, United could be a very imaginative team that would surprise opponents next season or even sooner.”
