Paul Pogba trolls Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes by naming one thing he can't do

Paul Pogba has trolled his midfield teammate Bruno Fernandes by joking that the only thing he can't do is defend.

The Frenchman has been lifting the lid on life at Manchester United and in particular his own personal bond with fellow midfielder Fernandes.

Pogba has arguably been United's best player since he returned from a hamstring injury last month, impressing in particular with his fine link-up play with Fernandes.

He and the Portuguese midfielder provide the beating heart to United's current tactical set-up and Pogba says he is a joy to play with for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

Despite his obvious admiration for Fernandes, Pogba couldn't help trolling his close friend by naming the one thing which he is unable to do in a United shirt.

“I enjoy playing with Bruno,” Pogba told MUTV.

“He’s someone who understands the game and understands the movement that can give you a beautiful pass, he can finish too. He’s all over the place, he can do everything really... except defending!

“But really, it’s always a joy to play him, to understand him. He understands me as well, he can take my position, I can take his position as well. I think he suits the team, he’s a very dominant influence in our team.”
