Yep, that's the correct version. #McFruno outMcFruno

Should never have been signed, should have been sold instead of extending a contract that had 3 more years on it, and now we’ll spend the next couple of years moving him from position to position trying to find one that we can play him regularly where he can cause least disruption. Too many players in our squad just lack the basic ability to play at the very highest level. Sadly for us, most of them seem to be in our midfield.
I did think maybe we'd sell Bruno for 80M to say Atletico Madrid or Juventus.
Crazy how styles influence players. Looked our best and (only?) worthwhile player in a certain system under Ole when he first joined. IMO was arguably by far our worst player on the pitch yesterday. Ruined a lot of our good moments, struggled to keep the ball moving and maintain possession etc. Wouldn't be surprised to see him phased out if he doesn't significantly improve.
They never trade players out to get others in. They don’t even sell players at all. With Bruno, they gave him a new contract instead of moving him on when his form had gone. That was on Murtough’s watch, no Woodward around.
Tough to see a Juve swap without De Ligt, and I highly doubt he would have wanted us over Bayern.
Atletico though, could have worked. Hermoso is left-footed and good on the ball and had a rough season. Add Joao Felix (and money from our side) or a pushed out Cunha and some money and that might have come off.

It's mostly when he is pressed from behind, he absolutely has no control of the ball, loses his balances when there is any sort of contact and tumbles. He is shocking with his back to goal.Why does he always spend so long on the floor? Every tackle on him rolling around or with his face in the turf, pretending he's hurt. Get up and get on with it.
I think because of the Covid financial issues, nobody was in from the continent to offer him CL football and pay us a huge fee. That happens with #10s because they're hard to fit in, but when it was clear Ten Hag was the manager I did think maybe we'd sell Bruno for 80M to say Atletico Madrid or Juventus (who could play Chiesa-Bruno-DiMaria behind Vlahovic) and just give Ten Hag the money to buy a couple players he likes at positions we were weaker at. The Eriksen signing only made that sort of thing even more logical, but I'm not sure anyone really came in for him.

To hide it he pretends he was fouled
Perfect way to show how stats can be used to push any narrative. Bruno has been awful for too long now for anyone to care about the fact that he created x amount of chances or his percentage of passes was decent.May as well link this post to this thread as well.

And no, he wasn't better than Eriksen yesterday, take off your Bruno glasses
Stats don’t push a narrative. They’re just stats. Feel free to ignore them if they confuse you.
Eh, don't think he's getting away with it at the moment, he's getting plenty of criticism and plenty of fans are losing hope in him. He's just not consistent enough though. Capable of excellent and controlled games, capable of wild and horrible games. Can't rely on that. For me I'd really like to see a midfield 3 of Eriksen, and then 2 of Garner/Donny/Fred around him. Try and find a midfield balance between them with players that won't give it away relentlessly but can be solid defensively. Use Bruno out wide maybe and have him rotate with Rashford and sancho, his qualities suit the position more.Feels like he's getting away with it at the moment, while everyone focuses on McFred.
Struggling with the basics, and seems to be playing 100% on "instinct"
The chance at the weekend was prime example of just using unecessarily random technique when composure was needed.
Was anti the Eriksen move initially, but now so glad we have him to hopefully start burying these chances and taking a decent set piece.
Always has been extremely overrated by United fans, to think he used to be compared with KDB is mind blowing.
