On the latest episode of BBC Radio Manchester's The Devils' Advocate podcast, co-hosts Gaz Drinkwater and Joe McGrath discussed Bruno Fernandes and whether he can be classed as a legend at Old Trafford.

Drinkwater said: "Because of how successful Manchester United have been, if you truly want to join the pantheon of greats – and there are so many that Manchester United have – you need to have won the European Cup or the Premier League.

"If you've not won either of those, I struggle to put you in that bracket, with the likes of Eric Cantona, George Best and Wayne Rooney.

"I feel sorry for him [Fernandes] because without him who knows where Manchester United would have sunk to.

"The direct comparison at this point in his career that you can make is Bryan Robson – Captain Marvel. Everyone loved Bryan Robson.

"He was playing for Manchester United in a period that we weren't successful in terms of winning the league.

"He did end up winning the league towards the end of his Manchester United career. He wasn't a mainstay at that point necessarily, but he did still win that league.

"I would give everything for Bruno Fernandes to win a Premier League at Manchester United – and if he does, he shoots up there."

What do you think? Is Fernandes a United legend or is he not up there in that top bracket?
