Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is hoping to lead Erik ten Hag's team to success this season and follow in the footsteps of a former Old Trafford favourite
Bruno Fernandes wanted to emulate eight players when he signed for Manchester United - including Nani.
The list contained the usual suspects - such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Eric Cantona - but Fernandes raised eyebrows when he mentioned Nani. It's been a long time since the Portuguese winger's name has been heard at Old Trafford. Although Nani won the Euros with Portugal in 2016, he's spent the last nine years of his club career playing in various countries - including the United States and Australia. He's currently on the books at Turkish side Adana Demirspor.
"But at that moment, I started to look at Manchester in a different way because you see Cristiano but then you also see the team and you have Paul Scholes, you have Rooney, you have Giggs and you have Roy Keane, Cantona before.
