Paul Pogba heaps praise on teammate Bruno Fernandes, sets eyes on silverware

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has lavished praise on fellow midfielder Bruno Fernandes as the Red Devils have mounted a surprise title challenge. The 2018 World Cup winner has often been a maligned figure at Old Trafford after repeatedly seeking a move away from Manchester through his agent Mino Raiola. After a lacklustre start to the season, Pogba's form has seen a massive turnaround in recent weeks, with the Frenchman effectively providing options both on the flanks and in the centre of the field.
