We asked for your views on if Bruno Fernandes a Manchester United legend.
Here are some of your comments:
Lucy: Winning trophies is a team effort. Earning the status of club legend requires commitment and hard work, which Bruno has been bringing to the table since day one. I’d have no problem ranking him alongside Best, Cantona, Robson, Irwin, and even Sir Bobby.
Graham: Get a new engine room in midfield and I’m confident United can dominate again in the Premier League and get Fernandes what he deserves.
Calum: Fernandes has to be counted as a legend regardless of what he has won. Without him we would probably be in the Championship!
Vernon: We definitely would be in a lot of trouble without him. However he can often be a liability because he spends too much time moaning. Not cajoling but just constant moaning. He is no Bryan Robson.
Jeh: I think Bruno is a legend regardless of whether he wins a Premier League. How many captains in the Premier League have the numbers that Bruno has and won two trophies and four finals? Yes, United haven’t been as successful but it’s a different time. Having said that I would give an arm to see Bruno lift the Premier League at old Trafford. Future United manager.
Lewis: A Legend? No doubt! Where would United have been without him? He can’t do that much about the other 10 players on the pitch – though he does inspire them. And would he have made it into the legendary United teams of yesterday? For sure.
Clint: Bruno has carried a very poor side making average players look good around him season after season. Of course he should be classed with the greats. Robbo was my hero, but I’d say Bruno has achieved as much if not more in his standing with the fans and players who have shared the pitch with him. I’d go so far as to say he’s our greatest foreign import. Stayed longer and did more than most. When United were struggling he kept the club above the relegation zone single-handed. Spurs are wishing they had a Bruno. So yes he deserves a statue at the end of his career. Most of those with statues won less than him during their time at the club. If he had been under Sir Alex he’d of won even more, because he’d have had a team of giants alongside him. So one of United’s greatest? Of course he is!
Terry: I would say legend in the same way that Martin Buchan, Lou Macari or Steve Coppell are legends without winning the league.
