Precisely what we have needed.

He’s basically everything I was expecting of Pogba. I know it’s early days but he looks a good player.
Needs to keep trying those spectacular passes! Don't want him to become another Mata whose creativity has been coached out of him at United!
Apaprently the PL is going back to the normal date for the end of the summer window in 2020. This experience didn't work out well when you're the only one doing it.
According to sky, the last time he missed a penalty was 4 years ago in Udinese.
Imagine we signed him last summer...
He is the best player at United by some distance. Thinks and executes faster then the other players around him can figure it out.
Maybe Bruno just performs better with dross around him?
Absolutely delighted with him. Performing way beyond my expectations.
He can give the ball away as much as he wants with some of the things he was trying. Just great to have someone other than Pogba that’s see’s things, has the balls to try it and better yet the skill to do it.
Orchestrated pretty much everything good we did and already seems to be striking up something with Martial.

If that were Perreira, he would pass it back to Maguire. 
Literally can't wait for next season .... pre season drills with Bruno spraying the ball unto Rashford, Martial, Greenwood and Sacho. 
I can see Ole's vision ... its going to be a proper Manchester United team.

We're a better balanced side now with him in the team. Longterm too, I do think it is best for him to have two midfielders behind to him who knows a thing or two about being aggressive and winning the ball, and at least one of them needs to be a great passer as well, unless we use another playmaker on the left like Odegaard.
Sample is too small. Pogba has had a number of stormers for us too. Wait a bit, not the first time we build up a new player and once the honeymoon period is over he gets destroyed. Di Maria, Sanchez, darmian (yeah really. He came with a reputation and he was gettinf rave reviews on here for the first couple of months), etc etc.
The examples are endless since fergie.
If only we'd signed him in the summer!
Anyone really know why we didn't go ahead with it last August?
Brilliant game yet again! Will be great to see him beside Pogba and behind a front 3 of Rashy, Martial and Greeny this season
Great stuff so far. Attitude looks spot on, no real arrogance but confident and has been demanding the ball from minute one (more so than any other signing we've had for as long as I can remember). Also demanding of the players around him, puts a shift in, plays the right passes, tries to make stuff happen. You can see players responding to him already with the movements they're making.
He's so positive on the ball, breath of fresh air compared to what we've had in his position and you can see the fans responding even when he tries a pass that leaves you scratching your head.

That is the point. We supposedly didn't fancy him because of his passing stats. Well I would rather have someone who takes a risk and wants to go forward than someone who passes backwards continuously. If that is what we have been judging midfielders on then no wonder we have been such a mess.
He has that X factor, that ability to create something out of nothing and can evoke a reaction from the team when everything seems flat. It might not always work out, but he’s so mentally strong, so unflinchingly confident, that he’ll try it again the next chance he gets.
Usually, players of his ilk have an arrogance to them, but not Bruno, he’s as willing to graft and put in the hard miles as anyone. He understands the core values of the club, he knows what it takes to be a success here, and he knows that if delivers the fans will love him for it.

It's incredible how much difference he makes.
Almost like having top players rather than the likes of Lingard and Pereira stinking up the joint makes a difference.

I agree with your point.
Incredible vision, he spots a pass so quick and has the confidence to try give to a team mate. Obviously a high risk, high reward player but I would rather have that than midfielders who are quick to choose the safe option.
It's as if the 24 day sample has no impact. They should delete that tweet.
The funny thing is - if Pogba gave the ball away this much certain people would be screaming bloody murder.
The fact is though creative players DO give the ball away when attempting killer passes, it's just the way it is. Anyway now isn't the time to be comparing them, but I can't wait to see them in the side together, hopefully it can happen.

He was very. Good to see a player take risks, even if it doesn't come off. Those passes he was bending behind the full back were a constant threat. Nice to see a #10 on the pitch who isn't just a passenger.
Looks like he can handle himself too, considering he looks fairly lightweight. Holds the ball well under pressure, even against total cloggers like Watford.

Will definitely be interesting to see who will be our primary FK and PK taker when Rashford comes back from injuries
Pogba suffers from being hyped up, one of the things I won't miss if he goes is the ability to pin the blame on him when things don't go right. Fernandes is in his honeymoon period, when he hits a bad patch the knives will be out for him.
We've such a lack of creativity that Fernandes can be forgiven for his mistakes, but once people get used to him they'll start criticising his mistakes more and more. Other players will look better, the grass will be greener...
Just need Grealish and Sancho now

bingo. Thankfully though he’s settled in immediately so it lessens the strain. I don’t expect a goal and assist every game but he’s the type that will always be involved if we can find him.
What a player, played part in all 3 goals and created so many chances. His vision is brilliant.
If we had a fully fit team, it would not look half bad. Imagine Martial Rashford and Greenwood being supplied by Pogba and Fernandes.
Bargain
He’s amazing, easily our best player.
I can’t wait to see him link up with rashford, Plus it’d be good to see him playing with Pogba too don’t think that will ever happen though, hopefully Sancho in the summer too.

Looking good so far. Quick thinking, intelligent passing and real hunger to do well. Needs to keep it up though and not be dragged down by the journeymen around him.
I doubt if he came here thinking he would be that bit better than what he's working with but he must see it now.

I just love his technique. Our best player today ( but I forgot about when picking MOM )
)What a fecking signing this lad has been so far! Exactly what we need, made a massive difference today, without him I doubt we would have won.
Credit where it’s due, we’ve done very well in the last two windows, really hope we crack on from here.

Sadly this is so true. The initial signs are very encouraging but we have had too many false dawns with players to go overboard at this stage.
