Liverpool legend Steve Nicol rates Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes ahead of Gini Wijnaldum.

Nicol has been mightily impressed by the Portugal international in recent weeks.

And he thinks if Fernandes was playing at rivals Liverpool instead, he would instantly take the place of Wijnaldum in the Reds' setup.

“The question [last summer] was 'which one of the three would go if you had [James] Maddison?' and I said Wijnaldum," Nicol told ESPN FC.

“I think I'd have to give you the same answer - Wijnaldum."
