The perfect fans’ captain.
Whinging and moaning when we play badly.

Bruno announced as new Manchester United captain
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Yeah he rubs me the wrong way does Sancho. Wouldn't mind if he's sold and we bring in someone who's more energetic on the ball. Would also free up the wage bill a bit.
I think you have that list nailed.
Would love to see Rashford as captain one day.
This decision will turn out to be synonymous with our downfall.
Now we will keep playing him over and over again despite him beingso Incredibly wasteful and crap.
Why did he play 99 minutes today?

Excellent pointing.
That was his worst ever game for United
His passing % must be in the 20’s

The fingerer of Old Trafford
Never a leader.
Dreadful 2nd half. He panics when we have to chase and just rushes everything.
Expecting heartfelt apologies from him any minute now
My captain will always play 
Despite being shyte

Not only is he not a captain, it is really obvious that he isn't one. Bizarre decision
Missed an absolute sitter in the first half also
That can happen. He was playing well 1st half as a whole though. 2nd was horrendous
fecking awful decision. We'll regret this big time
At the very least, he shouldn’t be the focal point of the team and the only creative outlet. Let alone a player who will start and play every match.
We are way to relient on him delivering special moments for us. But he isn’t someone who picks up his team, when we are bad. He is doing the opposite because of his extremely risky way of playing.

No composure second half, missed a sitter first half.
Pathetic captain
With a player as volatile and extreme as this guy, you have two very obvious options.
1. You play to his strengths, with the idea being his strengths outweigh his weaknesses (no.10 to do all the crazy high risk high reward shit); or
2. You move to a more possessive retention system and take him out of the team entirely.
The gaffer has done neither of the 2 and instead has decided to play him in a 3 beside Christian Eriksen or Mason Mount. Insane behaviour.

If Roy Keane performed like that second half at any point in his career he'd have probably topped himself.
Team huddle on point, just like banter era Arsenal.
He has mentality of a 12 years old
Comparing captains across all rival teams
this dude is no odegaard or de bruyne.
passing is so erratic.
turnover stats is so erratic.
hollywood balls is a hit or miss many times.
sulks and whines when the going gets tough.
from maguire to him, the leadership problem remains the same.
how will the team be inspired when they need someone to stand up ?

It's good that you're not being dramatic.
It's so incredible. We wouldn't stop laughing if this was at Liverpool for example.
He's a banter captain. Crazy decision.
Pretty obvious from his first season, if Bruno plays then we need 2 ball winners alongside him.
So obvious
So obvious
He is so frustrating and we will never pose a serious threat to the title with him in the team.
Spot on.
The compromise will be what we saw in the second half — shifting him out of position to try and somewhat salvage a very imbalanced midfield.
It just pains me to think about all the great captains that have graced our club and pulled us out of the shit like a leader should do.. Robbo, Keane and the like never knew when they were beaten..A far cry indeed
We'll be doing a lot of that this season i imagine. ETH has only compounded the issue by getting in Mount and getting rid of a ball winner in Fred.
I used to think his high risk, high reward potential was worth it.
But even his low reward choices are high risk. The number of times he loses possession even when trying simple passes is shocking - and this prevents us having any defined style of play.
Him having the armband is similar to when Maguire had it and rendered him unstoppable.

He can pull off extraordinary passes but fecks up simple stuff. Way too inconsistent
Can’t believe he got booked for talking to the ref, not long after Bissouma ranted at the ref and got nothing 
Can't fault the ref, anyone would get sick of the constant whining.Can’t believe he got booked for talking to the ref, not long after Bissouma ranted at the ref and got nothing
Because he’s spectacular as opposed to efficient. Our fan base can’t comprehend how someone who is very often inefficient for 90 minutes is long term detrimental to the team when he has very good stats and will score great goals and occasionally make great passes. They look at the numbers, they remember the goals or the pass last week and Bruno can’t possibly be a problem.
What is with the half time huddle? Clearly not working as we have come out the last two games and played considerably worse than the first half.
Gotta be a chance Bruno gets a ban after those post match comments, right? Can’t see how that flies with them clamping down on perceived disrespect to officials.
Terrible on the pitch today, but I must say I appreciate his post game comments. It’s the bare minimum I expect from a captain of any club, stand up for your team.
He’s played virtually every single game since he’s arrived. Becoming captain isn’t going to make it any different.
