Had a good game. Difficult game to shine as attacking player but he certainly earned todays wages tonight. Good deliveries into the box, you'd wonder why we don't see that more often. Its as if playing with a little more conviction is a good thing.
 
Class today. Something I'll never get with footballers is why they can look so useless at set pieces and then suddenly it clicks. Recently Bruno has been so much better over dead balls, I swear he was shocking earlier in the season for a long stretch.
 
Ran himself into the ground for us tonight. Hard not to be proud of that effort. Showed some quality too - maybe his best performance for us this season
 
How do some people not call this guy a legend?

We would literally be relegated if it wasn't for him.

Saves our arse every day every week
 
Saved us. Not just with the set pieces but with the huge amount of ground he covered. That's what you need when you're up against it. You can moan about his inconsistencies or whining all you want, but he cares about United and there is a half a team of players I'd sell before him.
 
We actually had posters looking to get rid of him. Feck me, we'd be worse than Southampton if he wasn't playing for us.
 
He’s a fu*king brilliant player, hard to believe some sections of supporters actually think he’s part of the problem.

Fergie would have absolutely loved him in his team.
 
Great game, both in effort and quality. The only genuine world class player we have.
 
Immense today, still not a fan of his midfield role but he hard carried us on his back
 
23 goals and assists, shudder to think where we'd be without him this season.
 
Not even his most insane detractors on here could criticise him tonight.

In a squad filled to the brim with shit he is a shining light. feck knows where we'd be without him, our last 6 goals in a row come from Bruno set pieces. 23 G\A in a team this awful is just amazing.
 
I’m far from his biggest cheerleader but he was incredible today.
Workrate and set piece delivery impeccable
 
Kinda funny how we had that pre season uprising of "Bruno is holding the team back and must be sold for the rest to fulfill their potential"

He has flaws but he is still comfortably our best player and it is a shame Utd have not been able to put a better group around him during his prime.
 
With Amad getting the injury that's POTY and PPOTY at the club awards confirmed for Bruno. Fully deserved he has been fantastic this season in a shambolic team, I hope one day he gets to lift a big trophy with us but it feels like Suarez with Liverpool - he has played for us during a terrible time for the club.
 
For all the (I’d say mostly constructive) criticism I give him, I don’t think there’s a player with better fitness/endurance than him in the current game.

He's been shocking at set pieces for most of his United career but tonight they were on point. Added to the goal v Everton, hopefully he maintains it because we barely create anything from own play!
 
Bruno is a player that has often frustrated the life out of me but he was immense tonight, and he always gives nothing less than 100%.

Sometimes he tries TOO hard in that he's trying to play other player's positions or trying Hollywood passes and shots, but tonight he played the game just right.
 
He’s really stepped up recently and he’s answered the coaches call for leadership. Like Rio said, he’s one of few players who has shown the right attitude for United in recent times. His game is sometimes below standard but he’s definitely got that will to win.
 
Bruno was magnificent tonight. He literally never stops running and never shies away from getting the ball. He also never stops shouting at people to get into position. Clearly the captain on the pitch.

I adore him. I’ll say it after every game, best player we have by a country mile.

Other than quality, boy does he run. He looks exhausted by the end of each match, yet he’s at it again 3-4 days later. He’s played in 38 out of 40 games this season, starting in 37, and basically never is subbed off (36 90 minutes). Second most on all these metrics after Dalot.
