Paul Ince hails 'winner' Bruno Fernandes for having a similar impact at Man United to Eric Cantona as he insists midfielder has 'raised everyone else's game' and 'belongs at Old Trafford' after transforming them into title contenders this season

Paul Ince has hailed Bruno Fernandes' inspirational role in Manchester United's Premier League title charge and compared his impact at the club to Eric Cantona's.

Fernandes has been the driving force of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team ever since joining from Sporting CP a year ago and has been key in transforming United into title contenders this season.

Cantona propelled United to their first league championship in 26 years in his first full season at the club in 1992-93 and Ince, who was part of that title-winning team, admits he can see echoes of the Frenchman's brilliance in Fernandes.
