It really shouldn't come as a surprise that Manchester United perform better when both Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba are in the side.
After all, the club spent the thick end of £150million on the pair, believing they would provide a world class midfield and help United challenge for the biggest prizes once again.
Slowly but surely they are progressing towards that point under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the need for refinement obviously remains.
That's why former United midfielder Paul Scholes was so outspoken on Thursday night about the urgent need to get United's 'cleverest' creative forces - Pogba and Fernandes - working in tandem.
