In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.

All I'd add though is when did they properly start recording assists. There's no data on Charlton, Best etc when it comes to assists.
He actually surpassed Cantona last season.
Like someone else wrote, they didn't start counting assists until the 90's so the holy trinity is excluded. This is the top 10 (you've forgotten some names):
1. Giggs: 434 G/A
2. Rooney: 391 G/A
-big gap-
3. Scholes: 236 G/A
4. Ronaldo: 209 G/A
5. Beckham: 206 G/A
6. Rashford: 201 G/A
7. Solskjær: 183 G/A
8. Ruud: 179 G/A
9. Bruno and Cole: 165 G/A
11. Cantona: 144 G/A
I think Bruno will surpass Cole, Ruud and Solskjær at least. I think he has a decent chance of surpassing Rashford, Becks and Ronaldo too.

I know we don't have the actual figure but Hughes would be above Bruno as well. Just goals would put him close surely.
He scored 161 goals so he's not too far off with that stat alone. With assists included he would be ahead obviously.
Yeah he’d be pretty comfortably above I think.
He is going to be 31 in September sadly and may need replacing soon before his body gives. Been quite a journey and I hope by miracle we can win a prem together by the times he's ready to pack up.
When I looked through the stats of the other players 3 things surprised me:
1. Bruno only has 5 fewer assists than Scholes!
And that's with roughly half as many appearances.
2. Bruno has already scored more goals than Beckham.
3. Rashford, for all his (deserved) criticism, is almost top 5! And if he makes it back to the pitch and stays for a few more years then he's pretty much guaranteed to make top 3. That deserves some respect.

There is enough chatter in his "legend" thread to at least kind of get the impression though. And there were quite a few on here to talk about him being able not only to go into all teams in the league but also having a role during SAFs success period around 2007 to 2010. I mean, obviously some of that is hyperbole and with an explanation, it isn't crazy but I can see where the impression comes from.
Just fyi, another instance of you getting personal as first reply. Just wanted to point out because I remember a post where you were befuddled at the accusation.
Well fair enough, but I am sure, you can see why people struggling with you comparing the current team to the most successful team in Uniteds history and then subsume that this means that every individual player is "above average" at best.
I am the last one who could be considered Bruno fanclub and I think, criticism is oddly weird perceived on some days, but your form of criticism is just bluntly helpless. There are enough things to criticise and I would definitely agree, that Bruno is held in regards that are a LOT lot higher than most other football fans but not being the greatest still doesn't make him "above average". He has the numbers to show for it - the criticism is "at what costs have those numbers maybe be generated" and "what do you have to give to afford a player like that in your team".
It really wouldn't. This clamouring has to die - being the best passer doesn't mean, he is a great CM, a very good performance against Liverpool might be an indicator but certainly not evidence. Carrick was much better in terms of defensive contribution and I'd say Scholes was definitely more positionally disciplined than Bruno. I can see rooting for him in CM right now due to no competition but going forward into the future with it, that would be crazy. Bruno can be great player as AM, play him there, don't drag him around in an effort to stuff as much firepower into the team as possible. Haven't you learned the lesson about that?
about 1. why is that crazy? Isn't Scholes time as DLP at least just as long as his days as AM? Bruno played borderline striker especially in his first two years here and adding to goals and assists is his main contribution to the team. That wasn't the same for Scholes.When I looked through the stats of the other players 3 things surprised me:
1. Bruno only has 5 fewer assists than Scholes!
2. Bruno has already scored more goals than Beckham.

about 2. see 1, also Beckham wasn't seen as a goal scorer, was he? Take goal scoring away and Bruno becomes a significantly less attractive option, he'd still have the assists sure but Beckham has those too
I'm more befuddled at @Musclehead Bruno obsession but I'm very grateful to you for taking the time to address me amidst your usual wall of text.

Sure buddy, I am a man of the people! Also, it is just a wall of text because adressing each poster in individual posts would increase my suspicion-level even more around here, given that the current number is enough for some to draw conclusions
Rashford is 13th. He has scored less than a goal every 3 games whilst being mainly used as our chief attacking threat. That's not impressive at all.When I looked through the stats of the other players 3 things surprised me:

Can’t believe it’s been 5 years!!! Capitano!!
When it comes to assists and goals (which are rare in nature compared to things like passes and tackles), I'm not a fan of using per 90 minutes as the basis. You get some really odd results from that (for an extended period Chicharito looked like one of the greatest strikers in the world).
You also get punished for fitness/importance to the team. Players who tend to finish the full game and hardly ever gets rested will typically have a worse ratio.
According to transfermarkt he has 201 G/A in 426 apps. In total numbers that is the 6th best in the PL era.
In terms of ratio I can't be bothered to calculate, although I would agree that he should have scored more when you consider his role in the team and number of appearances.
One of the few bright spots of the last five years. A top player and a top pro.
Every time I see these things it makes me feel that little bit older, like butter scraped over too much bread.
