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.
