Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes played crucial roles in Manchester United's 4-2 win at Leeds United on Sunday afternoon.The Red Devils didn't have it all their own way during a rain-drenched affair at Elland Road where quick-fire goals from Rodrigo Moreno and Raphinha saw them throw away a 2-0 lead at one point.However, late strikes from Fred and Anthony Elanga ultimately saw United secure the three points with Pogba putting on a dazzling performance and Fernandes chipping in with two goal contributions.
Pogba and Fernandes' Bergkamp-like skills vs Leeds
It truly was a thrill-a-minute affair as United vs Leeds clashes so often are with Pogba and Fernandes providing more than their fair share of jaw-dropping moments regardless of all the goals.
And the two Red Devils midfielders seemed to be channelling a very certain brand of skill moves in Yorkshire with both of them tuning into a 'Dennis Bergkamp vs Newcastle United' wavelength.
Now, don't think for a second that either player produced anything on the level of the Arsenal icon's timeless goal at St. James' Park, but Fernandes and Pogba certainly produced skills cut from that cloth.
First up, Pogba turned on the style during a first-half full of flicks and tricks by channeling his inner Bergkamp to send the ball in the opposition direction to the way that he proceeded to spin the defender.
However, the spin-and-go skills weren't finished there because Fernandes decided to one-up his fellow midfielder by getting his assist for Elanga underway in similar circumstances.
That's because the 27-year-old brilliantly spun his marker by sending the ball one way and himself the other, before laying the ball into the path of Elanga to wrap up the three points for United.
Pogba and Fernandes' FT chat
So, bearing all of that in mind, post-match footage has led many fans to suggest that Pogba couldn't resist talking to Fernandes about the fact that they had produced two very similar and impressive skills.
In a viral video captioned: "Pogba telling Bruno that he copied his flick," United's World Cup winner can be seen addressing his teammate after the game by mimicking a skill move with his leg.
It's impossible to be certain that the United duo were discussing exactly that, but you can see why so many fans have been led to believe that's the case given the in-game skills and Pogba's gesticulations.
However, don't just take our words for it because the clip is the talk of the town on Twitter right now and you can make your own mind up about Pogba and Fernandes' moment of bromance down below:
United are a force to be reckoned with when these two are on song.
Pogba and Fernandes on song
Regardless of whether Pogba was talking about the Bergkamp-like skills or the meaning of life to Fernandes, there's no escaping the fact that United's midfield maestros were at their entertaining best at Elland Road.
Neither of them have played their best football in the famous red jersey this season and their Leeds displays were not without fault, but it's in those little tricks and flicks that their quality truly shines through.
And if Fernandes and Pogba are as happy as their post-match chinwag would have you believe, then Ralf Rangnick could do a lot worse than making them feel as special as possible at Old Trafford.
