Fernandes has become a cult hero at Manchester United since his introduction to English football.
The Portuguese made his long-awaited move to the Premier League from Sporting CP during the January transfer window and has hit the ground running in England.
His bright start to life at Manchester has forced many to liken his talent to that of many great former Red Devils.
Xavier believes the former Udinese and Novara man is destined for greatness and insists he will be loved for many years in Manchester just like the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Eric Cantona.
“My view of Bruno is that he is going to be one of the major players for Manchester United over the next years,” Xavier told Stats Perform News.
“The way he plays, the way he controls the moments of the game.”
“I think from what I know about the fans, they will love him for many years like they loved many legends from the past.”
“Like Cristiano, David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand, Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes, all these legendary players.”
“Bruno I think will end up in this gallery of players.”
Fernandes has scored four goals and provided four assists in his first twelve games in England.
