It's really been foolish to count Pogba out, I've had to argue against many of them over the past year or two but it's so obvious how talented, professional, and gifted he is but that he was always put in a difficult situation where the onus was on him to create everything, which of course the opposing teams knew and the lack of movement (among other things) up front was never going to make him look good, and yet he led the team in pretty much major categories and statistically competes with any top midfield players out there when he's on the field.
He's still far and away United's best and most talented player, but now it's not all up to him, and he can pick and choose the best moments to go for a bit of magic and other times where he just needs to be disciplined and play simple. He's only going to improve, as is the rest of the squad, and it can't be said enough how important a guy like Fernandes can be to unlocking Pogba to his full potential, and vice-versa.
However, I'm not buying that Fernandes has heart or leadership in a way that Pogba doesn't, one is a world cup champion and was a major leader of his squad, the other played in Portugal and was available for years before finally making the jump. I think people are underrating Pogba a little bit while overrating Bruno Fernandes. They're both great, but there's no doubt to me that Pogba is a class above. Sometimes I've seen Bruno misplay many passes that Pogba would get killed for here, so I guess we're still in the honeymoon stage with Fernandes.
