Steve Bruce rates Bruno Fernandes very highly but the Newcastle head coach believes comparisons with Eric Cantona should be tempered until the Portuguese brings the glory days back to Manchester United.
Fernandes has been a galvanising force since his arrival at Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon a little over a year ago and already has 21 goals and 12 assists in all competitions this season.
The impact he has made has been likened to when Cantona joined the Red Devils nearly 30 years ago, with the Frenchman's signing often hailed as the final piece of the jigsaw that preceded a period of sustained success.
