The ex-Red Devils midfielder has been singing the praise of a January addition, whose seamless transition has fans excited for the future <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The speed at which Bruno Fernandes has settled at Manchester United, along with his obvious qualities, has Paul Scholes believing that a seemingly inevitable departure for Paul Pogba will not hit the Red Devils hard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Speculation regarding a summer switch for a World Cup-winning midfielder continues to rage.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid are long-standing suitors of Pogba, while a return to Juventus has been hinted at by the 26-year-old\u2019s agent Mino Raiola.<\/p>\n \n More teams<\/p>\n <\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Scholes believes the France international is destined to move on, with United preparing to bid farewell to a player who has struggled to produce his best since being brought back to Old Trafford for a second spell in 2016.<\/p>\n The Red Devils legend concedes that Pogba is a wonderful talent, but admits he has become an unwelcome distraction and suitable cover has been found in the form of Portuguese playmaker Fernandes.<\/p>\n Scholes told BT Sport after seeing United\u2019s \u20ac55 million (\u00a347m\/$60m) January signing impress again in a 5-0 Europa League win over Club Brugge: \u201cI think the fact that the last couple of weeks nobody has mentioned Pogba coming back into the team speaks volumes about what Fernandes has brought to the team.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s probably brought what you expected from Pogba over the last couple of years, which hasn\u2019t quite materialised.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the balance of the team looks really good.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s playing [Nemanja] Matic and Fred, I know it was [Scott] McTominay [against Brugge], but those two sitting there allowing Fernandes the freedom has really worked for them. I don\u2019t think you go away from that when it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the Pogba situation, we know what a top player he is, it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019ll be here next year – we don\u2019t know that, but we think that from what we\u2019re hearing.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think carry on as you were, it\u2019s looking good enough at the minute.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cWith Pogba, the way he\u2019s played, would he get into this team at the minute? It would be tough for him.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the way the team\u2019s playing, how can you change that? They\u2019ve looked as good as they\u2019ve looked in the last three or four years to me.\u201d<\/p>\n United eased past Brugge to book their place in the last-16 of the Europa League, with the attention of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s side now switching back to a top-four bid in the Premier League and a meeting with Everton on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
