He takes so much risk. It only works when we’re playing well as a team. And when we have a striker on form. But that’s him. We can’t change him and he’s the perfect playmaker that we need at the moment.

I am very, very surprised how good he looked on right wing position in second half. I think Sancho does the trick here.
Amazing performance once we settled down.

MOTM. Also the 2nd game in a row that he has been excellent on the right. With Rashford killing it up top and Bruno looking superb on the right, it opens up some interesting opportunities for us in the summer transfer window.
Played like he's a Sunday league player for a long period then turned into a world beater in the same match. Classic Bruno
He should be smarter with the ball when we're under the cosh - gives it away far too easily, but not the only one doing it. Dalot does this as well. But when we're playing front foot football with control, he's second to none in chance creation.
Sensational against Barca and now Leicester.
He’s in top gear. Plays 90 mins 3 times a week. Absolute nutter. The master of the transition killer pass. My captain.

Sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit. But when he's good, he's really fecking good.

Yeah, allied to Sancho looking great at 10. Lovely to have alternatives.
A proper United player. Quality on the ball, non-stop running off it, Bruno!
Before the first goal he'd been quite poor, but after that he was excellent. Don't know why he was not rested though.
His sloppiness out wide is less damaging.
9 key passes and 4 dribbles. Good god. I don't think any of our wingers habe had 4 dribbles in a game this season.

Superb performance across the field. SofaScore rates him 9.7/10.
Magnifico Bruno today. Great performance from the captain.
Thought he was fantastic today.
Him bring this great on the right gives us great options, especially when Eriksen returns.

Very good today.
Unreal player. Has been a revelation for us and deserves to have a world class coach, top class players around him. He deserves to win trophies at this club, he has been brilliant. Unreal how many minutes he plays too, probably the most in Europe at this point? He’s our main guy above everyone in reality.
He could have had a hattrick assists today if Dalot didn't feck up. Fantastic today and I simply can't understand how he could run that much with all the amount of football he has played.
Our engine. Looks quite settled in RW!
Should've had 3 assists today, wouldn't be massively shocked if he ends up with 15+ once Martial gets back to fitness. Definitely back in form since the world cup and his impact on the team has been valuable.
He's a key pass king. If all else fails Bruno will always create big chances.
The pass completion numbers are horrible but it's easier to stomach when he's on the wing.
His problem for me is being overplayed and running too much, which comes from his natural aggressive streak. The result is that he then has periods where he looks noticeable fatigued. Hopefully he manages that better as things go forward.
Hell of a game from him today. I can only think of Modric and De Bruyne in the current game who can do what he can with the ball using the outside of his foot.
Bruno is great when we dominate the team but he tends to go back to going for the hollywood passes when we are in need to keep hold of the ball better particularly in the first half. I saw ETH was fuming on one occasion after he passed long for a low percentage ball to Fred down the right flank.
Actually beat some people on the ball today! Was nice to see.
I didn’t even mind his start to the game. I blame the midfield and Lindelof/Shaw for that crap start as we had 0 control to our game.

It's also easy to stomach when he's the creative force in our team. He plays a high risk high reward game, and the rewards are definitely worth the price.
62% pass completion rate. 2 assists. 9 key passes. 9.9 rating on Whoscored. That sounds like Bruno.
He had a kick and run past a defender today!
Had some incredibly silky touches to meg players and/or take it past him. Should have a very decent compilation career highlights with Utd on just those bit by now.
When he is on it he is our most influential player and not just from what he does with the ball. The sad thing is that the expectation of him is higher than any of our other players.
I've read posts on here saying we should sell him or that he is a squad player. It's absurd from my pov but each to their own.

Our most important signing in the post SAF era. Actually freakish how he can play so often, at such a high intensity, and still be so productive.
PS. @Jeppers7 you mentioned you would post after each Bruno game whether he's good or bad. Haven't posted since before the Barca game, is everything OK?

His assist for Rashford is a thing of a beauty, he sees opening and he is never afraid to try the pass. Playing him as winger looked bad idea in first few games but he looks good there now.
It’s the defensive stats which make him so unique. Can’t think of any other footballer who combines his creativity with winning the ball back for his team so often.
Some real mature performances from Bruno latelly. Old do learning new tricks.
His level goes up whenever he finds more space. But, the winger thing is temporary due to the lack of a right winger (hopefully) or for the second half, when games open up for us if we score early. He probably would struggle against strong defensive FBs at some point and our creativity in the middle suffers greatly which showed in the first half.
I still prefer some traditional wing forwards with tricks and pace to entertain us on the wings, which will naturally give Bruno more space in the middle to do his thing better.
Yeah once Antony is back back he will be back to AM position.
He was the first player to reach 3000 minutes. It always amazes how in second half stoppage time he's still sprinting around the pitch. I reckon no one's ever beaten him in a bleep test at Carrington!
