He must be on drugs
This is terrific from Rio
He's not even the best player in this very team.
I absolutely f***ing LOVE this guy. To think just a year ago we had such an unlikable bunch of players. This man has totally transformed the way we play, the results and the players around him. Martial, Pogba, Matic, Shaw all look far hungrier since he came in; I can only imagine he is geeing everyone up behind the scenes. Winner mentality, quality technically and leads by example. I actually (stupidly) thought he was going to flop here because the Portuguese league is so weak compared to the PL.
But just WOW. I don't really buy United shirts but you bet I am getting Bruno #18 for next season. Incredible player & character
He is up there with the best players in the league, it's not a case of should be. We also happened to be the only club in the world who put a bid in for himFeck me what a ridiculous player he's. I can't believe he's that great. He should be up there with the best players in the league.
Everton was his 4th game with us, and Ole tried to experiment with a diamond 442 formation to gives room for McT in starting line up. We created 18 chances on that game but couldn't convert it, both Martial and Greenwood were isolated and had a bad game.Bruno has been our best player this break but make no mistake he will struggle to be this effective without pogba and matic. It wasn’t too long ago we struggled to create against Everton.
With that said I just love how he has multiple options to pass to with Pogba always available on the edge. He is currently unplayable because you can’t mark him and leave our other attackers alone. He can either pass or shoot.
How we didn't go into this season with him is truly an absurdity for the club's ages. What a player.
It's about being able to judge the player in isolation - regardless of his team or his opponents. And in Fernandes' case I can admit that he's proven my initial doubts to be completely misplaced. When I watched his highlights, I didn't really focus on the Portuguese league, but wasn't completely sold on his technical quality. He didn't have that special ability on the ball. And it was hard to judge some of his qualities given the space afforded to players. But it just goes to show that sometimes aspects like final third brilliance, decision making, mentality etc aren't that easy to pick up on.Textbook example of why not to put too much stock into a player's age and the club he's playing for. There was a lot of 'if he's so good, then why is he at Sporting at age 25' kind of sentiment.
Nah, we have no scope for resting players in PL games. Every game is a must win now.Needs a rest soon surely. Maybe Pogba at 10 for Villa?
We have to rest them at some point. We have 7 games in 17 days.Nah, we have no scope for resting players in PL games. Every game is a must win now.
I'll raise my hand and say I doubted him loads last summer! Didn't think he was right for us but by the end I think I would've been OK with it given the lack of business. In January though was desperate for him. But originally I thought we should use Pogba as the 10 and go for a more all round midfielder. Whatever the case, one shouldve been more last summer. Better late than never!Wow.. It's amazing reading some of the replies on this thread:

Surely some of those are FA cup /EL ties? He never should have player 120 minutes in the FA cup. Since we can't change the past, I'd give him rest in the non league games. The PL is too precariously placed right now. Everyone feels Leicester are on the downside but we're one slip up away from losing that race.We have to rest them at some point.

1 FA cup game. Sorry It’s actually 6 games. There is no way Solksjaer is resting Bruno or any other big player for a semi final.Surely some of those are FA cup /EL ties?

To be honest I would. I think the PL games are more important than the FA cup semi final. And I've always felt ever cup matters. However with the momentum we have this squad needs CL football and it would be deflating for them to not do so.1 FA cup game. Sorry It’s actually 6 games.

I would agree but it’s his best chance at a trophy this year and he isn’t going down without a fight. He has mentioned time and again this team needs to win a trophy together so it’s start of something big.To be honest I would. I think the PL games are more important than the FA cup semi final.

Lingard is on 100kGive the guy a new contract fps. He's around 75-100k a week and Mata is on 160k a week. Even Lingard is on 75k ffs.
Yeah depends on which source. Some says 100k, some says 75k. Imo 75k seems more reasonable so I take the 75k. But who knows with the current board, they gave Jones and Rojo new contracts.Lingard is on 100k
Yeah but Pogba was out for ages at that time too. It has been a phenomenal start for Bruno helped my Pogba coming back too.Bruno is easily the best player Manchester United currently has, and by some distance I would say. We were absolutely dire before he joined us.
The man can take whichever number he wantsHe is our no.7 but shame he prefers the 8.
He's on pace for about 20 goals 20 assists in forty-five apps in all comps.
Probably a mix of:
1. the coaching staff wanting to see if Lingard/Pereira could step up
2. the coaching staff thinking it only fair to give them a shot
3. the coaching staff knowing the above two were necessary steps
4. Woodward/Judge still exercising footballing influence
With the exact proportions of the mix being up for speculation.
Which is exactly why spending £80mil on an average CB will bite us. Wrong thread I know but I can’t help but think where we’d be had we been as prudent with our summer dealings as we proved with this one.
Bruno as you say is one of many class players in ‘lesser’ leagues.

Wait and see what happens with Mata before you get it! He'll likely take 8 if Mata leaves.
He'll probably start in that other non league game since it's Chelsea and a semi final.Surely some of those are FA cup /EL ties? He never should have player 120 minutes in the FA cup.

It's purely to do with the shirt number.Was outstanding yet again.
I must say that I have mo idea where these Scholes comparisons keep coming from. They play nothing alike for me.
It's purely to do with the shirt number.
If we're being generous, maybe it's to do with both of them being the single player who knits the rest of the team together.
But, yeah. Very different. Bruno plays more like Giggs after he lost his pace.
