Obviously both have been in really good form this season and Fred especially has seen a huge jump in performances and consistency.
However, with the bruno, pogba, matic (classic DM) midfield 3 we have started to deploy, neither of them really fits. Neither are creative enough or disciplined enough to play any of the 3 roles effectively.
Of course we will need different systems and be adaptable throughout matches, but if we feel that pogba, bruno, matic is our best 3, and we need cover / a replacement for matic and a rotation option for bruno / pogba, do we actually need both players going forward or are they taking up space in a squad that would be better suited to someone who is a better fit.
I'm not saying we need to get rid of them immediately and we clearly have more important areas of the squad to trim, it just struck me as weird that 2 players who earlier in the season would have been guaranteed starters now don't fit our best 11 and no one is calling for them to be included. Thought it warranted discussion.
