Pogba Claims Fernandes Would Win Ballon d'Or at City

In a recent podcast, Paul Pogba expressed that Bruno Fernandes would likely win the Ballon d'Or if he were part of Manchester City, highlighting Fernandes' exceptional qualities and contributions to Manchester United. Pogba noted that Fernandes' performance this season, which includes 18 Premier League assists, positions him among the top contenders for individual awards.

This achievement is close to the single-season assist record held jointly by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. Pogba emphasized that while individual awards are significant, they are often tied to team success.

Fernandes joined Manchester United from Sport Lisboa e Benfica in 2020 for £47 million and has made 300 appearances, scoring 100 goals. Despite interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League during the recent transfer window, Fernandes chose to remain at Old Trafford, where he has a contract until 2027, continuing to play a central role in the team's pursuit of success in the Premier League.
