Rooney's peak years you mean? I don't think so. Anyway for me Bruno cannot be considered a legend as we have not won enough significant silverware during his time here. He'll be remembered as one of the better footballers to play for us post-Ferguson, that's it.
Will Bruno achieve legend status at utd?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) talk about the proposed new stadium, season ticket prices, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and all things INEOS after the first year of their co-ownership.
They also discuss back-to-back victories vs. Real Sociedad and Leicester City - was this the best week for Amorim so far?
Either that or watching the games blindfolded, so clueless.

Further to our recent communications we wanted to remind you to that you still need to confirm if you want to renew your Season Ticket for 2023/24, or cancel and release your seat by 5pm today - Wednesday 15th March
it’s no coincidence that our most successful period came with carrick at the heart of our midfield. A calm, classy, brilliant player.
There’s good reason why Xavi and Pep, at a time of Barca’s absolute dominance, proclaimed Carrick to be the best English midfielder and the only one that would get into their first team
I thought I did a good job on the sarcasm front here. I am eager to learn, what could I have done better? An emoji? White text?
Wow. Thats going a long way of saying "I struggle to bear opinions that aren't my own and the only way of dealing with that is assuming ill intentions"
Come on Mate. You don't know the guy, you have no way of knowing whether he is a ST holder or not. Lets not act as if being one makes you a better fan or a more knowledgeble fan or whatever. Theres no point in displaying him or her as a lier.
Thanks for your input but not sure you were involved!?
That said, I absolutely do think they're talking out of their arse.
That's totally understandable but also a bit unfair to the player.
He's probably the best post-Fergie player we had, and if not the best, most likely top 3-4 in terms of impact. He could be showered in silverware if the club 'wasnt doing things others can only dream of in the transfer market' every year.
I dont mind the (your) thinking though just to be clear. I just react badly when people state he's horrendous for the club, when he's one of the very few quality / world class players we have in this squad. We basically expect him to do everything with no other star power to support him.
Of course you won’t know. But those who know, know
Poor strawman attempt and clear to anybody who can read that's not at all what I was saying.
You know the concept of a strawman, then I am sure you also know the concept of an ad hominem. With that in mind, re-visit your post I commented on. Am I or am I not right about you jumping on the premise of "certain critique is not right, people who do it, must hate him" and build it up with some attempt of sudo-psychology? You driveled multiple lines about it, that added absolutely nothing to the topic of the thread. Even added a summary as if your thinking process would be too out-of-the-box, too creative or too complex for the audience here and then when I call you out for it, you want to tell me that I am the one with the strawman? Dont answer. Rhethoric question, I am sure you know the concept.

Build him a fecking statue!
I like him.
He is my legend. Reminds me of Bryan Robson era before Fergie came. The only spark of joy in the last decade for me.
Imagine hating a player who gives his absolute all for the club and actually produces.
bUt hIs pasSSing sTats on Fbref arent in tHe right percentiLe
The bad takes on this forum will never be topped by the abuse this player has taken. In his entire time here the only time I thought he looked off it was around the 3 reds this season when he looked broken.
Carries this club

Not have a dog in this fight, don't think that the answer is particularly relevant or at least I didn't have much thought about it at this point in time. However, people who are pointing that he can't be a legend because he didn't win EPL/CL are off their feckin rocker.
Love him to bits, carried us through tough times. Legend in my eyes.
Carried the team. My captain.
Full on legend for me. Him in a great united side would be even more deadly. Just a tier below Rooney.
Our best penalty taker ever?
He’ll build his own at this rate.
the issue is he’s a Europa league legend. He was absolutely sensational tonight. but this is the second competition in Europe and he’s playing against real sociedad not Real Madrid. he seems to be maturing as he gets older so let’s see if he can carry us into the premier competition next year, then he’ll have a chance to up his status.
If anybody deserves the recognition throughout the past 10 years it's without a shadow of a doubt Bruno, he's just brilliant.
Couldn’t have put it better.
Borderline legend, by a mile the best player we've had in the last 10 years.
(Stop with this my legend, my captain stuff
You sound like dweebs)

It’s funny, I absolutely love him but this club should be competing at the very top and until he is present whilst we do that, I can’t call him a legend. It’s just my own criteria, and I totally respect those who class him as one.Boooooooooo!!!
I do think he's right, but you can only beat who's in front of you. Bruno isn't the reason why we're in the position we're in. Calling him a legend because of excellent performances in the Europa League is a bit much. For this club, I think you should be winning top trophies to be classed as a legend.Boooooooooo!!!
Still easily the best player we've had since Sir Alex retired.
Legend is an individual title. He is one because he is our best player. He carries this team on his shoulders.
But legends are called that because people remember them. Bruno plays in an era most United fans would rather forget about in the long term. This will make it difficult for him if United doesn't win big titles while he is still there.
Being the best player in a terrible era is just bad luck for him.
Would it be possible for a player at United to become a legend without winning the league or champions league?
You may have missed one or two posts about exactly that question on the last 20 pages.
I wouldn't rule it out. But it's much harder at United to reach that status with that lack of success than at Spurs for example (looking at Kane), simply because how much more success United had historically.
Fair enough
I agree, but I think there comes a point where a player is so pivotal, even without that success, that he has to be considered.
If anyone will be remembered since 2013, it’s surely Bruno.
