Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be best off playing Paul Pogba in an advanced position ahead of Bruno Fernandes when the two players finally line up together.
Fernandes has impressed for the Red Devils since signing for the club in January, but he has yet to play alongside Pogba, who was injured before lockdown.
The two could feature in Friday's game against Tottenham, and there has been some debate over how Solskjaer can best accommodate the two.
Speaking to Metro, Schmeichel said he can't wait to see how Pogba and Fernandes' relationship on the pitch blossoms.
"It’s very important that United pick up from where they left off and since the signing of Bruno Fernandes – who wasn’t there for that long before everything shutdown – he’s changed the way that United play," Schmeichel said.
"There’s been an opportunity to get everyone back, particularly with Pogba. I can see him in a more number 10 role which I think he’s more suited to.
"I think he’s better playing with less defensive responsibility and less responsibility in the build-up. We haven’t seen the combination of Bruno and Pogba yet in a competitive sense so it’s something to look forward to.
"His [Pogba] quality you can’t debate. He’s a quality player but everyone has been confused about his ideal position. When he’s come on and played further forward it suits him better.
"I know people focus on his long range passing and they look fantastic but I look at his football intelligence. His short passing, how he puts people in.
"Bruno is coming a little bit of the left. He’s the sort of guy that roams around. You could play both of them next to each other in a 4-3-3 system but it’s just great to have Pogba back. It’s been a very, very long time that he’s been out."
