Bruno Fernandes' Instagram post about Paul Pogba gets Man United fans talking

Bruno Fernandes' Instagram post showing himself training alongside Paul Pogba has got Manchester United fans very excited.

The duo haven't played together yet as Pogba has been out of action since Boxing Day with an ankle injury.

Pogba was due to return to group training in March, but Carrington was forced to close its doors due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

Premier League players have slowly been allowed to return to their clubs' training grounds in small groups in recent weeks ahead of the season resuming.

Pogba and Fernandes were both present at Carrington on Tuesday, and practised social distancing while working out on mats.

Fernandes took to Instagram to document the session, uploading a picture of himself and the Frenchman.

He captioned the picture, "PP" and tagged the World Cup winner in the post alongside an 'explosion' emoji, suggesting there will be fireworks when the two finally take to the pitch together for United.

The post generated the desired effect, with United fans sharing the image on Twitter and commenting in their hundreds.

"The Premier League isn't ready," wrote one fan. Another added: "My word, I'm not ready for this partnership."

A third said: "The are ready, but is the league ready?"

Much has been made of whether Fernandes and Pogba will be able to strike up a solid partnership for United once football resumes.

One man who is adamant there will be no problems is Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who told Sky Sports: "Good players can always play together, so definitely, they can - it's a big yes.

"I think it's exciting... we do have an exciting squad. I've got Scott (McTominay), Fred, Nemanja (Matic). There's many games coming up and I'm sure we can find a good connection between them. We've been discussing that as a coaching team of course, and we're looking forward to it.

"Of course Bruno coming in, making the impact he made, it was a boost for everyone, the club, supporters and players. Getting Paul and Marcus Rashford back would be fantastic.

"Paul has had a difficult season with injuries, and Marcus as well is getting back. So for us, and for them too, this gives them a chance to start on a par or even ahead of other players."
