Bruno opens up about his relationship with Paul Pogba

During an interview with NBC Sports, Bruno Fernandes opened up about the relationship he shares with Paul Pogba at Manchester United.

When Bruno Fernandes arrived at Manchester United, many believed he was completely incompatible with Paul Pogba. They both are creative midfielders who could perform equally well in the same position. Initially, United signed the Portuguese star to replace the Frenchman while he was injured. But they both started having conversations during Pogba’s recovery about how their relationship on the pitch would be after he returned.

Now that Paul is completely recovered, we can see the results of their relationship on the pitch. However, we always wondered how they got along outside of the pitch. As it turns out, Bruno gets along perfectly fine with Pogba but they always try to improve on the pitch. When they speak, all they do is talk shop.

What’s Bruno and Paul’s relationship like?

“The relationship I have with Paul is good,” said Bruno on NBC Sport. “He speaks Italian and I speak Italian, from the beginning I knew him from Italy and he knows me. It was easy to work with him. Straight away when I arrived, he was injured. I saw him recovering and training on the pitch away from us.

“He was calling me sometimes when I was training and he said: ‘I’m seeing the games, I’m seeing your movement, don’t worry. When I’m fit, I will show you that I can find you. I see you move, you move to the right and to the left, in behind. When I come back, I will show you how I can find you a lot.’ It shows you the confidence he gives to you, like when he comes back, he’s trying to help you become better and you help him to become better.”
