Manchester United midfielders Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba have been pictured for the first time together in training.
Pogba has yet to play with the January signing due to an ankle injury but the postponement of football fixtures has allowed the Frenchman to be ready for first-team action.
Supporters on Twitter are salivating at the prospect of the two players playing together in the near future:

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided an update on both Pogba and Marcus Rashford’s fitness, saying that the two players have not suffered any ill effects following their return to training:
“They’re looking good. They’ve joined training now and they’ve done everything the other boys have been doing. No reaction so far, touch wood. When we get started, it looks like we can have a full squad to choose from.”
Having both stars back ahead of the Premier League’s potential return next month will hand United a massive boost to their chances of securing a top-four finish. With nine games to go, the Red Devils are currently just three points behind Chelsea.
Especially with Fernandes and Pogba in midfield, United fans will be very confident of finishing the campaign strongly.
