Certainly fecking commitment.You think he did that because of a lack of work ethic?
Every other Irish player just got on with it.
Who else in the squad is ever top shelf though?
90% of the squad is consistent, consistently shite that is. Let's focus on getting rid of them first maybe?
We're not competing for the title anytime soon anyway.
The reasons were complicated and nothing to do with a lack of work ethic or commitment. The opposite, if anything.
The reasons were Roy trying to win the World Cup and everyone else wanting barbies for the press and a first class piss-up.
Irish football hasn't really recovered from Saipan.
Keane could not have been more right in criticising the 'Boys In Green' serenading a four nil defeat. He and O'Neill did a great job.
'Turned his back on his country' is the type of anti-United horseshit you'd expect from the sun.
Bruno as a 10 has caused United to be outnumbered in midfield constantly, making it nearly impossible to control a game, to have more of the ball and have an offense that dominates. He's only been consistently successful as a counter attacker.
How does United become a possession based team with him? Ole was fine until he tried to play 'good' football, then it fell apart.
If playing on the counter is acceptable now it's only because things have gotten so bad.
I haven't watched much of United under Amorim, who can blame me, but an extra midfielder doesn't seem to be helping.
Well I can assure you Bruno is not the major reason we are so fecking awful and it's not a case of get rid of Bruno and we'll be closer to competing for the title I can assure you of that as well.
Our best player by a country mile, and the sole shining light of the last few years.
He's wasted his prime playing for us, as opposed to a halfway competent club.

I ignore him, he actually chats the most shit I've seen on TV.
Before you get to Bruno. How does UTD become a possession based team if your midfeild is Ugarte/Casemiro and Maino. Ugarte/Casemiro in terms of distribution and controlling tempo are lacking. Maino isn't great at it either, he's good with the one to touches but he's not there yet.
So before we blame Bruno, how about we get complete midfielders who can actually dictate the center of the pitch. There is a reason Bruno is playing in CM because none of the other midfielders are good are build up play.
Be was a great captain on the pitch.
Off the pitch? Lot of baggage with him. A grumpy drama queen. But I love him.
No just simply try saying he's good when he is and leave it at that.
You don't have to balance it out with a negative.
It shouldn't be difficult given he's the captain of your club. Should be an easy road to go down.
What I’d give for a Roy Keane. Imagine Keane performing like Bruno at Anfield 7-0. Mentality or quality. It’s not even close. Keane was world class. One of the greats.
Some proper FC Bruno fans in here. Pathetic.

The issue with stats like these are that they provide no context. He takes every corner and set piece which helps increase his chances created stat a lot. In addition, he attempts the most long balls and through balls of any player on the team by far, so you would expect he would lead the team in these categories.
One of the issues with stats like this is that it also implies that if Bruno did not play any games, no other player would get more goals, assists or chances created. Last season, Mbappe had 47 goals, 15 assists and ranked 3rd in big chances created with PSG. People claimed he was carrying them and they would struggle to score this season. And yet they are a much better team this season who are scoring at a much higher rate. Similarly, Coutinho was also "carrying" Liverpool, and they then became a better team once he was sold.
Basically, Im just tired of these carrying nonsense posts and how hes "too good" for united. While his stats may look great on paper, he has several deficiencies as a midfielder that make Utd a weaker team who gets dominated in midfield against any half decent team. If he was even half as good as his fanclub claims, he would have numerous offers from top title challenging clubs to save him from his "poor team."

Showing support for one of our current players in his own player performance thread is considered pathetic. Okidokey.
That bit about Mbappe and Coutinho I agree with.
I like Bruno. But I can't shake off the feeling that he is sort of like a Gerrard at Liverpool. United fans used to laugh at teams who had one or two mercurial players who couldn't be fitted into a functioning team whilst we were winning trophies with Michael Carrick.
Fair enough
Completely fair, United have spend hundreds of millions, again, and still have a sh*t squad.
I mean you’d be hard pressed to spend that much money and get so little if you tried.
We're still playing with a midfield 2
Don't buy into the idea these ex players are superhuman mentality monsters.
They were very good players surrounded by other very good players.
Keane was on the pitch when Madrid absolutely toyed with us at their place. He couldn't get near them. He was on the pitch when Forest got relegated. His mentality caused him to leave his country during a world cup, caused his time at United to come to an end how it did.
Multiple stupid sending offs that cost the team. His ego coming before the team.
He did his ACL kicking out at Haaland because he couldn't keep up with him. By his own admission he went into the game out of shape. Him being injured probably cost us a league.
Recovering from his ACL he was in the pub with his leg up on a bar stool telling reporters his recovery was going great.
Going for a treble he got himself arrested. More trouble in a bar. Imagine that now.
Great player but the hypocrisy from him and a few other ex players is pretty incredible.

And that's an understatement! Roy Keane got 13 red cards in his career. But Bruno is somehow the overly emotional one
We'd be absolutely fecked without him. Genuinely likely extremely close to the relegation zone if not in it. He's not perfect but I find it bizarre any Utd fan could actively dislike him.

Exactly.
There's nobody more precious in football than Roy Keane.
Manager of Sunderland, they got beat in the derby, he didn't show up the whole of the following week. Couldn't face it. Soon after he ran away from that situation as well.
He didn't leave Ireland over training facilities. It was his personal beef with McCarthy which began years earlier. But who doesn't Roy have beef with? Even now he's getting into confrontational situations, always that threat of violence about him.
Top player. Loved his on pitch aggression.
But a very complicated and flawed guy.
The manager and club is very much going through a mea culpa phase but it's enough now.
An ex player calling our captain an imposter is too far. Keane and Neville need slapping down by the manager/club. We can't be having that.
Thanks, man any other tips how to post "the right way"? Imagine being so self-righteous that you feel the need to tell me BS like that.
Yeah, maybe for the next tweet, lets compare him to the teams in relegation spots. He'll look even better compared with them instead of comparing them to the bunch Bruno is playing with that is now ranging deservedly in the 14th place in the league. But I guess his fan club apparently needs such affirmations.
Because when Roy is an emotional player, Bruno can't be one at the same time? I wonder who would question so many things in Roy had he praised Bruno.And that's an understatement! Roy Keane got 13 red cards in his career. But Bruno is somehow the overly emotional one
Have you seen his stats vs say, Odegaard?
I have the world at my fingertips and can look them up whenever I want. What point do you want to make? And irrespective of that - does it change anything about it not helping debates to depict how much more productive he is than his team mates, who everybody at this point knows are unproductive?
Immature way to frame it.
That he's better than Odegaard
I haven't got many more tips for you.
But you're a Manchester United fan who finds it impossible to say anything purely positive about a player(and captain) even after a good performance.
This should be telling you something. Namely that your head has gone on this topic.
My daily Bruno FC stats post.
I have noticed this with pundits. We - the team or players always seem to always get attacked even after we have got a "result." Its almost like there is a handbook for pundits on when to attack viciously and not let positivity build even for 1-2 weeks.
Imagine Bruno surrounded by the players Roy Keane had around him, some proper fc numpties fans on here. Pathetic.
When a corner delivered is behind Zirkzee but he manages to get his head to it…only to see the ball go high and wide with little power….its classed as a ‘shot’ off target…and subsequently a chance created. Stats can be a mess and tailored to needs
Here’s my stat
In the Premier League this season, Bruno Fernandes has…given the ball away every 4.55 minutes. More than any other player in the league and has a meagre 2 goals from open play
Brilliant if true (and I don't doubt it is).
I agree. But in the land where nuance goes to die and people become haters for not praising the correct amount why fight a losing battle?
His stats this season may be better than Odegaard. They might, haven't checked. I guess you talk goals and assists? Are they better than Szobo or Palmer?
For no tips wanted to be given you didn't do a good job of restricting yourself. But thanks again, I'll make a note that the incorrect level of praise means that my head must be gone.
edit: just fyi, in the unlikely case of me finding my head, are you available for mentoring me? I mean, it would be soooo enticing to finally be part of "your" group...
Where do you get this from? Seems excessive.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. So called Man Utd fans on here take delight in our best player getting slated completely unnecessarily.
I’d also like to see this stat’s source.
So he has good stats and bad stats - who would've thought that in this team
