The 25-year-old qualities on the field are reminiscent of the former England man, but that's not the case away from it
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed January signing Bruno Fernandes to have a similar impact on the current Old Trafford side as Paul Scholes did in years gone by.
Bruno arrived last month in a deal worth £46.6 million ($59m) from Sporting CP and has made a positive impression in the three appearances he has made for his new side.
Solskjaer is convinced the influence he will have on the team will be reminiscent of former England midfielder Scholes, who pulled the strings for the Red Devils over a career spanning 20 years, leading them to 11 Premier League titles and a couple of Champions Leagues among many other trophies.
