'He reminds me of Scholesy': Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hails Bruno Fernandes as a 'conductor and leader' and points out similarities with legendary midfielder following £68million January arrival

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has compared Bruno Fernandes to Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.

The Red Devils midfielder moved to Old Trafford for £68million in January and has played two games for the club, but has impressed during his short time on the pitch.

Scholes won many honours at United, including 11 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies and Solskjaer thinks Fernandes is similar to the retired playmaker.
