Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has likened Bruno Fernandes to club legend and former team-mate Paul Scholes.

Fernandes arrived from Sporting Lisbon in January for an initial fee of £47 million, with around £20 million in potential add-ons.

Solskjaer has been impressed with what he's seen during the 25-year-old's first month at Old Trafford, per Goal's Robin Bairner:

"He reminds me of Scholesy as a player but definitely a different type of personality off the pitch.

"Against Club Brugge, when he's on the bench, he walks around, he speaks to the players who start, he helps them, he gives them points.
