Fernandes can be Man Utd hero like Cantona and Scholes - Ince

Paul Ince believes Manchester United's new star Bruno Fernandes can reach the same standing as club heroes Eric Cantona and Paul Scholes.

The Portugal international has taken the Theatre of Dreams by storm since his €55 million (£47m/$60m) move from Sporting during the January transfer window.

Fernandes already has three goals and three assists in eight Red Devils appearances - playing a big part in the club's current 10-match unbeaten run.
