Fernandes with Pogba? Solskjaer praised the performance of another of his charges

Manchester United started the season in style when they played Leeds United, scoring 5 goals. And two players were particularly visible, namely Paul Pogba, who assisted on 4 goals, and Bruno Fernandes, who contributed a hat-trick to the three points.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can wash his hands now that his charges have won the first of 38 games, after which they would like to finally lift the Premier League winners’ trophy above their heads. However, the road to that success is still a long one.

However, the Norwegian coach has managed to build a great team in the time he has taken the reins at Old Trafford and is a big favourite for the overall title alongside Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. And after years of misery, the fans certainly welcome that.

And not just them, but the players have earned praise for their performance from the experts and legends of the club as well. Even Paul Scholes was delighted after the win over Leeds United and he believes that this euphoria will convince Paul Pogba to stay in Manchester.

“I think he will stay and eventually sign a new contract. If this team continues to develop as it has in recent months, it can go very far and, above all, win trophies. And that’s exactly what he wants,” the former United midfielder said in an interview with Premier League Productions.

Pogba and Fernandes are incredibly close and their collaboration can really bring United the coveted league title. But of course, it’s not just about them. The whole team is performing brilliantly and Mason Greenwood deserves praise as well, as he managed to make one breakthrough at the tip of the attack on Saturday.

Of course, he worked well for the team and earned a 9 from WhoScored, which was also awarded to Pogba, who assisted 4 times. This also proves the great performance that the talented English striker gave.

Moreover, Solskjaer must be very happy, because after the arrival of Jadon Sancho, Greenwood was expected to become the main spearhead striker and he made it clear with his performance that this choice was the right one!

” Of course, when Bruno scores a hat-trick and Paul assists 4 times, all the praise goes to them. But for me it means that we gave a great team performance. These two have benefited from the great work of the others. I have to give a special mention to Mason, who has improved tremendously. He has become a man!”

Manchester United have made a great start and can confirm their form next week when they face Southampton, who lost 1-3 to Everton.
