Bruno has really stood out and impressed me recently. Maybe the Portuguese can turn it around and make United decent again.
 
Ladies and gentleman, I give you, the problem, Bruno Fernandes:

 
This discussion is about whether he would get in their team, not whether they would buy him, he would get in their team if he was already there but they wouldn't buy him
I disagree. Starting 11 every game, not a chance.
Like what @Red in STL mentioned, the discussion is about whether he would get in their starting XI, not whether they would buy him from their rival. If Bruno already at Liverpool or arsenal now, he would get into their starting XI over Curtis Jones & Odegaard.

If you replied to me saying ‘’I disagree’’ full stop and that’s it. I wouldn’t need to question it because it’s based on your opinion without bias reasons. The issue is that you started mentioning his age (which doesn’t matter since the likes of Robertson, Salah, and van Dijk are older than him), his speed (which is wrong because Bruno isn’t slower than Odegaard & Jones) and Robertson being Scottie, tough to the bone (which is very ridiculous reason).
Then here you have it, I disagree, there are multiple reasons he would not be an everyday starting 11. I would go into them, but you still wouldn't comprehend the "why".
 
Nah feck it, it's worth the yellow some times to make it clear to their ref that he made a travesty of a decision. We need to be bigger cnuts sometimes and put refs under pressure for shit like that.

The under pressure referee then gave us a red card, and few minutes later, gave non existent penalty to Arsenal. I'd say, it no longer works. These referees know they are protected like endangered species.

Anyhow, came to say, when he plays with discipline, he is such a crucial player for this team.

The captain’s comments are great, but look at the captain’s proud look towards the end. priceless


The way he can sometimes behave on the pitch would drive me nuts if he was my captain on a team, but you see things like this, and the way he tries to encourage younger players and he comes across so well. Proper Jekyll and Hyde!

I had countered your reasons and one of your response to my counters is ‘’Robertson being Scottie, tough to the bone’’. You had stated that yours is just based on your opinion without fact to back it up so you can stick with it.

While I could use fact to backup my statement. One of the fact that I could use is Bruno has more goal contributions (G&A) than Odegaard and Curtis Jones.

Getting a bit arrogant there are we not, there's nothing wrong with my comprehension, come back when you've comprehended enough to not be a noob

What are those reasons? He is decidedly more productive than Ødegaard and more versatile and id argue defensively far more sound.
Curtis Jones we shouldnt even be discussing as he isnt on eithers level.
 


Can't be true. You have to ignore the evidence of your eyes. You have to ignore the way his teammates respond to Bruno. You have to ignore the way former teammates respond to Bruno e.g., Elanga.

Talksport says Bruno is not a leader, as do many on the CAF, therefore it must be true.

Bruno's the problem. He must be stripped of the captaincy. We will not be able to be successful as long as he's in the team, ghosting against top opposition e.g., at the Emirates last weekend, Anfield the week before that, making no look assists in an FA Cup final against Man City, scoring from 40 yards against Liverpool last season. Constantly going missing in big moments against big teams.

People who rate Bruno, like Pep Guardiola, Arne Slot, several United managers, they just don't know ball. He's a volume merchant playing hero ball every week. Forget the number of chances he creates, the number of big chances he creates, the number of shot creating actions he creates. Just stat padding. We can and must replace him as soon as possible.

Am I doing it right?

We will never win anything big with Bruno in the team. You forgot that line.

Or he can never do it away against a big club.

I have never seen any player / manager for or against United speak ill about Bruno.. I even saw a interview from Aina talk about how good Bruno is and you cant switch off.

People talk about his lack of leadership and composure but every coach we have had has praised Bruno on his leadership and composure... I mean just go watch his penalty in the shootout.

My bad. Should have led with that. Its obvious that the first step towards being a title winning team will be to sell Bruno to Saudi. Only chance we have of getting any good money for him. No teams are looking at his performances and thinking he might be worth £10m/£20m. There's actually loads of players who could replace him. If Mount was fit Bruno would already be out of the door.
