Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes are “two of the best midfielders in the Premier League”, says Luke Shaw, with Manchester United excited by the potential that exists in a new-look partnership.
The Red Devils full-back told the club’s official website: “[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.
“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.”
Shaw will be hoping to figure alongside Pogba and Fernandes when a return to action is made, with the 24-year-old having worked his way back from a badly broken leg in 2015 to start unlocking the potential that United always believed he possessed.
“If I could go back in time and change the way of a game, it would have to be the game when I broke my leg,” Shaw added on the testing times he has come through.
“I felt like I was really flying at that point in my career, I was feeling really confident and obviously nobody ever wants to break their leg in a game!
“It’s obviously a long time on the sidelines and you have times when you feel down. You feel a long way away from where you want to be, you don’t feel right, your leg doesn’t feel right, and you go through those periods, but the most important thing is to look towards the end of it.
“See the goal and focus on that. You’re going to be back playing, training, and that pushed me a lot of the time, watching the lads playing and training.
“There are times when you don’t want to be involved, but it’s good for you to be around everyone to keep involved. You don’t want to be forgotten, you want to be around it.”
