Published on May 11, 2020, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is optimistic about the potential of his team's midfield duo, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba.

Fernandes, who joined United from Sporting Lisbon in January, has already made a significant impact with three goals and four assists in nine matches, filling the creative void left by Pogba's absence due to a foot injury.

With Pogba set to return before the season's suspension due to the coronavirus outbreak, Solskjaer sees a promising partnership between the two players.

"Good players can always play together, so definitely they can... it's a big yes," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.

As the Premier League clubs discuss plans to resume training in May and a possible return to action in June, United are fifth in the league with 45 points from 29 games.
