Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel feels Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes should start against Tottenham.

Amid reports Pogba will start the showdown in north London on the bench, Schmeichel has claimed he'd field the two superstars together in the same side.

“Well the thing about Manchester United is, we always say we want the best players in the world," he told the Daily Express.

“And if you have the best players in the world you play them, of course you play them.

“I would play them straight away. Why not?"

When asked alongside who, he said: “I think Fred and McTominay they're important players.

“I think Ole has to have a really long meeting about this with himself. I think it's great, really great, we have options now.

“I would play them, play them together. There are many options, you can play them in No 10 together, give them the freedom for someone like Marcus [Rashford].

“What the team hasn't had for a long time is competition for places.

“And it seems with his signing, Martial finding form, Marcus being fantastic, Daniel James having a little breather, the competition for the forward places is there."
