That’s why you take Pogba off and leave Bruno on.
Pogba on a bad day is useless.
Bruno will ALWAYS provide no matter what!

Agreed, mainly a feck up from the defender, rather than a good pass. That said even when he's playing shite he does at least have the ability to get an assist or goal.
2nd worst game I can remember seeing from him. Got an assist
He was shocking but he always had a moment when he can create something and I suppose that's why you leave him on.
You can compare Fernandes passing percentages to KDB’s all you want, but De Bruyne would never have an overall performance like what Fernandes just did tonight in a CL knockout tie. There’s no variation to his play, he doesn’t know how to adapt his game in massive games like this.
He's pretty much nothing player (not contributing much) apart from the last pass. Which is okay if we can have him playing high up the pitch. But I don't think we should be playing him with Ronaldo, he's too static these days.
Really bad execution tonight.
The pretty straightforward pass to Elamga at the end doesn't make up for it.
Composure Bruno. Composure. He needs SAF whispering it into his ear all week.

Bruno has been very productive for United in terms of goals and assists.
But i see why some Man Utd fans still criticize him, he can't control the midfield to save his life, it's the same with Portugal.
Seems weird to say this but as productive as he has been with goal+assists, i don't see Man Utd challenging for anything with him on the midfield.
He would have been considered great in the 80s though, where games weren't as televized as today, so people mostly would knew about his profilic stats, but not his gameplay.

He was awful but came through and at the end of the day, that’s what matters.
Disagree strongly.
Bruno lost possession multiple times in our own half which directly led to multiple Atletico chances in that first half. Ronaldo was.just anonymous.
Shit post, followed by one more.
Only seems to be capable of dropping absolute 0/10's or world class performances, and even when he drops 0/10 he looks like the only player being able to create something, a complete enigma
He was absolutely awful apart from the last 10-15 mins. Genuinely terrible.
Wish he would play as a false 9 as I feel it would suit his attributes best.
He should always be on the pitch though.

Bruno was all over the place for over and hour and then, just when we needed it, he put it together. He's a lot like post ankle injury Rooney in that way. The moment of magic can emerge just when we need it. After that his overall level went up massively. However, for much of the match it looked like the occasion had got to him. Just like in the Europa League final.
Aw man, I’m trying
I really don't get how people enjoy his football, he's the embodiment of stats over performance. Many people will only see this game as a +1 in the bruno goals contribution column but for me it will be another rotten performance in a big game which happens all too often.
His game was littered with errors, probably the most of all our players. Yes he popped up with the crucial contribution but we were lucky today on another day we will be punished.
As long as he's our 'best player' or most important piece of our attack we'll continue to go nowhere.

Terrible game, the start was one of the worst performance from him. Messed up every move, lost ball almost every single time.
Horrible in that first half.
But got an assist.
In fairness they were targeting him and Pogba. Everytime they touched the ball they would swarm all over them. At times it seemed like they had three extra players.

You guys need to stop milking these assist stats. He was actively playing against us and got his "assist" by virtue of being on the pitch. It doesnt actually mean anything. A better 10 and we create at least 5 or 6 chances and score 2 or even 3 goals, such is the number of attacks that go to die at his feet.
Infuriating and ingenious.
He is the embodiment of zoomer football analysis : "Stats over performances"
He has better numbers than the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Zidane, Pirlo, Modric, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, etc but he can't control the midfield to save his life, it's the same thing with Portugal, except he hasn't scored much there, so he looks worse.
I don't think Man Utd is winning anything with him on the midfield, he will keep stat-padding assists and goals, but the team is certainly going nowhere.
He was due a poor game. Come on! we really are one of the worst set of fans when it comes to bashing our own players.
He still played Elanga through, everyone was poor and nothing clicked for us tonight.

With Bruno playing the way he is, being enabled to play the way he is, you can kiss goodbye any serious aspiration to turn into a very good team.
His play and our goals are not compatible

Proper 1/10 performance before his assist. Then a 3/10 performance.
Should be a super sub in big games. He's not good enough to start them.
No matter how poor he plays I always fancy him to bag a goal or an assist. He was exceptional against Leeds and utter crap for the most part tonight yet he STILL affected the result with that assist.
His worst performance for us by a distance
He really needs to engage his brain in games like this. Even just for the first twenty minutes or so, get the ball and keep it ticking.
Obviously, he gets the assist and actually puts in some effort, so he gets a pass.

Gave the ball a way alot but never hides keeps running and trying to create and eventually he does.
Dreadful today but came up with a huge assist
1/10 performance. 1 is for that pass to Elanga.
Required reading.
He struggles massively when being pressed, his lack of physicality and acceleration in the first few yards will always hinder him from performing in these type of games.
First half was ridiculously bad. Him and Pogba together in that midfield just gave us no chance whatsoever. Bruno did improve a bit in the second half though, and ultimately did play that ball through to Elanga.
Rashford yes, but Lindelof?
Agreed completely.
Goals aside Felix ran the show today and he didn't even need the goal to have the great performance. That's a top class performance and I can't think of when Bruno has put in a top class performance in a game where there were other top class players on the pitch. He can run the show against teams we're better than that give him time and space but against the better teams he's consistently poor.
Probably his worst ever game for us? One of the worst individual performances of any United player this season. Decent assist but still…
If we're ever to become a serious title challenging team again, Bruno can't start. You can't become said team when you willingly surrender so much control game after game.
He can contribute against lesser teams and as a super sub if we're desperate for a goal, but not as a starter. He's too big of a hindrance to our general play.
Yeah, pretty much this. He'll need to evolve in to an entirely different player, there's a reason you don't find a player like him any top team in the world.
I've never been so conflicted on a player. On one hand he raises our floor immensely, on another I'm afraid he caps our ceiling and limits our control of games. Giving the ball back to the opponent till something clicks.
The only player United can depend on to put some magic. He's my Captain at heart.
