Paul Pogba, speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Podcast, claimed that Bruno Fernandes (midfielder for Manchester United) could be a contender for the Ballon d'Or if he played for Manchester City, a club that recently achieved a treble, including the UEFA Champions League in the 2022-23 season. Pogba emphasized that the narrative around Fernandes would change significantly in a winning team, stating, “If Bruno is in another team, he is not in the top three [for the Ballon d'Or].” Despite contributing to 211 goals for Manchester United since his debut in 2020, Fernandes has yet to win the Premier League or UEFA Champions League, only securing the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Currently, Manchester United is third in the Premier League with 58 points, trailing behind Arsenal and Manchester City. Pogba also highlighted Fernandes' talent, comparing him to renowned players like Kevin De Bruyne and Luka Modric, noting his ability to contribute significantly on the pitch with goals and assists.
