While Fernandes is already recognised among the frontrunners for domestic end-of-season accolades, Pogba believes a move to a more successful club would elevate him to global recognition.
Pogba believes Fernandes would excel at Manchester City, enhancing his chances for the Ballon d'Or.

Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, Pogba elaborated: "Do you think Bruno if he is in another team, heās not in the top three Ballon dāOr players? For me, you put him in City, heās Ballon dāOr (top) three.
āHeās in the three Ballon dāOr (contenders), Bruno Fernandes, with the stats this season, the way he plays and everything.
āBut when you donāt win, they donāt think about you. This is life, this is football."
Pogba and Fernandes played alongside each other at United between 2020 and 2022, before the former opted to leave Old Trafford to join Juventus for the second time on a free transfer.
Injuries and a doping ban have since hampered Pogbaās development, but the World Cup winner is now back in his homeland playing for Ligue 1 club Monaco.
The 33-year-old has made four appearances for Monaco this season, who are currently seventh in Ligue 1.
Meanwhile, Fernandes has continued to lead from the front at United, with Michael Carrickās men now closing in on securing Champions League football for next season.
