Not on the same level.
But he has revitalised the team. Apparently he's a good trainer and professional. We have some good youngsters I the team and others coming through.
I'm not saying he has to live up to Eric, or that he will have the same influence, but still there is a comparison in a lesser way.
Could Bruno be a second Cantona for us?

Cantona’s influence at United is incomparable, so I wouldn’t even bother bringing his name into the conversation.
But if he can bring some leadership, responsibility and confidence to make his teammates play better I think we’ll all be satisfied with that.

Of course we will be satisfied, that's what Eric did.

Dunno, Eric has a very special, larger than life charisma. Fernandes has given the players and fans a new lease of life bur that only lasts if his goals continue.

I agree with you Busby, but who knows how Bruno will turn out. I know it won't be the same, but perhaps a less version.

So basically similar to what Cantona did?

But the influence on the team is incomparable. Bruno will bring goals from a number 10 position, but he’s not going to have the influence Wayne Rooney had on the team is he?

All these parallels drawn with past players is pretty pointless.
When Cantona joined he turned out to be the missing piece of the jigsaw. He inspired a very young but talented group of players.
The team Bruno is playing in has many pieces missing but as starts go Bruno has made a perfect one. My one regret is why the feck did we not buy him earlier? Hindsight is always 20/20 I guess.
On a side note, all of Ole's signings have been wonderful additions. Can't wait for the day when the first 11 is made up of mostly his signings. We are heading in the right direction with an exciting blend of counter attacking footy and now with Bruno's addition goals and guile from midfield.
Heck, I even like Ighalo!
Well done Ole 👏
