His pressing is insane. He never stops. Having him Fred and Casemiro in the team, it feels like we have the highest work rate of a team of any side in the league.

I'm convinced it was for Antony
(and was going to get intercepted)YepI'm convinced it was for Antony
Him on the right and Sancho in the 10 looks to me more like an old school inside forward situation. Like a mix of a winger/nr 10 where the real width is created by a winger (Rashford at times/ Shaw) and/ or the full back (AWB, Dalot).
there was someone in the Match day thread who wanted him sold in the summer
saw that too, terrible post and that poster needs naming and shaming
His conditioning is pretty unbelievable. He plays 90 minutes every game, and he never stops running.
I'm beginning to really appreciate him for so much more than his goals and assists. He really is a great leader to have in the side, even if he is also a bit of a moany git

Where is he in the ‘actual’ lists?
What are the actual lists?
4th in the league with 6 assists. Behind KDB, Saka and Eriksen, and on par with Ødegaard.
This is just an indictment of our finishing really. De Bruyne has 12 league assists from an xAG of 10. Bruno has 6 league assists from an xAG of 9.
The difference between a clinical team and a wasteful one. If Bruno was supplying Haaland into space...
Sorry….actual goals and assists
Despite playing many more minutes….when you look at mins per assist rather than just total assists he drops to 13th out of the 15 on the list.
He has an assist every 345 minutes, Debruyne tops with 155 mins per assist, Eriksen being second on 214. Andreas Perriera 334 and Iwobi 342 are slightly ahead of Bruno.
He’s 36 on the list for goals again having played more minutes than almost everybody else on the list. Mins per goal there would have him much lower.
Doesn’t seem to hamper Eriksen who is second for mins per assist in the league? Or Rashford who is having an unbelievable season
Such a lame criticism. Absolute productivity is what matters most, as availability is obviously a huge factor in the value any player provides to the team. Same flawed per minute productivity logic had Martial as one of the best strikers in the league, earlier this season. Probably still up there now, come to think of it.

Pogue Mahone June 6th 2019….
“Funny the way they restrict assists to open play but include all his penalties in the goals scored column
Not to mention the usual caveat that players who rack up the most minutes will tend to top a lot of those stats and Pogba probably played more minutes than all the other midfielders he’s being compared with. Apart from, maybe, Jorginho?”
This post downplaying a United midfielder topping premier league charts for goals, assists, shots, passes and touches.
Regarding your response, and ignoring the embarrassing hypocrisy of it as always, I’d agree if we were talking about players who have played as little as Martial. But when we are talking about players who have played between 1700 and 2300 minutes….it’s probably fair to take a mins per view.
Jesus Christ man, you’re obsessed! Let it go! Paul Pogba plays for Juventus now. No need for you to continue your desperate efforts to preserve his reputation.It only distracts you from your apparent main purpose on here, anyway. Shitting one one of the most important players in a United team that’s looking bettter than any since Fergie retired. As a pastime it’s weird as feck but you do you, eh?

Deflect deflect ‘I’ve got nothing’ attack the poster to try and deflect from the hypocrisy.I think most people, whether they like it or not will see the post for what it actually is.
Hahaha . You clearly are an expert on your chosen topic.
I agree 100% - funny how there are still nay-sayers in this thread. I have been a Bruno fan from day one. As someone else said, he has earned the right to a mistake here or there. He is the soul of this side. I want to see him win a title. He has earned it, in sweat and energy, but above all in skill and imagination.
Nail. In. Coffin (of a terribly elaborate and sophisticated analysis based on stats
)edit: ouch! Just saw follow up. TKO!
Can we confirm him as club captain already, it's clear as day
Yeah, incredibly harsh criticism.
I think most people, whether they like it or not will see the post for what it actually is.
Bruno is second in the league in expected goals and assists and you manage to turn it into a negative. It's not his fault if other players miss the chances he creates.
I've been a critic of Bruno but by God give him his due. That's an impressive stat.
We don't appreciate him enough. Not only his quality but also the fact that he's always available, knackered as he might be. I'm not familiar with it... however I'm very familiar with important players getting injured at the crucial moments. Not Bruno. He has a plot armor.
Ok, I guess. But what we really need to know are his goals per minute stats.
EDIT: And yeah, I know. CL vs Europa. But a lot of very highly rated players have been involved in the Europa over that period of time.
This would be dismissed by you in other cases also.
Probably with a dose of….‘hasn’t ‘insert name’ been part of the reason that we failed to qualify for CL anyway’
Do you know how fecking mental you come across? Still crying about my allegedly unfair criticism of an Juventus player who was demonstrably a failure at United, while simultaneously desperate to stick the knife into someone who is playing a huge part in the best Manchester United season in a decade. Your bitterness is off the charts.

Ill spell it out for you because you seem to struggle with self-awareness :-
you’re criticising people for applying the same metric you applied when you didn’t like the player.
The post was about YOU.
I dunno why I keep engaging with you. You’re so fecking dull. Choosing to talk about me and Pogba instead of Bruno, in a thread about Bruno, is the final straw. I’ll spare everyone else this excruciating dialogue. Back on ignore again you go.
Again point missed….you’re criticising people for applying a metric that YOU chose to apply to other players prior. I’ve not mentioned anybody else because my point is that you’re a hypocrite.
Jeppers7's counter-arguments when someone gives Bruno any credit whatsoever
Bruno deserves credit where Pogba doesn't because he's been better for us, simple as.
Pogba's best form for us was in 18/19, where he scored 16 and assisted 11 in just over 4000 minutes of play. Fernandes' worst form for us was in 21/22, where he scored 10 and assisted 14 in just over 3850 minutes of play.
When you adjust for minutes played, Pogba's best form in club football is worth about a goal more over the course of a season than Bruno's worst. Over the course of an average season in their United careers, you'd expect about 11 more goals/assists from Bruno than you would from Pogba.

It's fecking ludicrous anyone could still think Pogba was a better utd player than Bruno is.
Absolutely mental.
Absolutely mental.
Shared this in another thread but I love this recent interview of him talking through his assists with Rio from around 12:30 onwards. Many of the goals aren't from this season but it gives us a peek into his mindset and thought process during games.
Those people, like Jeppers, are just trolls. They are there to support individual players, like Pogba or Ronaldo, rather than the team itself. They should be ignored.
