The Portuguese playmaker has become a Red Devils talisman for the modern era, allowing him to follow in some illustrious footsteps

Bruno Fernandes has welcomed the "good pressure" that comes with being placed in a talent pool at Manchester United alongside iconic figures such as Eric Cantona.

The Portuguese playmaker has become a Red Devils talisman for the modern era, allowing him to follow in illustrious footsteps at Old Trafford.

The 26-year-old has registered 40 goals across 18 months in English football, alongside 26 assists, with obvious comparisons being made between his impact and that previously enjoyed by an enigmatic Frenchman who claimed four Premier League titles.
