No they were not, there were at least three fouls in the same game which weren't given yellows for similar tackles. Also the refs are supposed to manage a game and not just send everyone off for every foul

the second one is a yellow,stonewall yellow, he stamped on Semedo, very late at that.
 
Wish was straight red so he doesn’t play 3 games not just one . Will go down as worst captain in Manchester United history an absolute clown .

Third red card this season. Letting his team mates down. He's too emotional and rash. What was the point in that challenge when already on a yellow card, and literally just after half time?

Hope the manager and other players rip into him for it.

His touch before the second yellow was even more criminal. I see no position for him in this system.

Another contract that was a mistake from a mile off.
We have a club and a fanbase that refuse to learn. A 2025 summer window that ends with him as a Man Utd player is a failed window. I said what I said.

Pretty much.

The contract extension was a disaster one could see from miles out. Was shocking that INEOS and the best in class gang agreed to it when he had two more years remaining on his current one and hadn't done anything extraordinary to warrant a bumper new one.

I don't think he is going anywhere, though. Too many other stupid players in the squad that need replacement.
 
I always felt that he had the right attitude that bite that a lot of our players were lacking but tbh I'm sick of the way he plays when we are already in deep shite. He wants to change the game for us but instead gets more and more erratic and becomes a liability on the pitch.

I'm not opposed to selling him anymore.

The first was a tactical foul to stop an attack. The second was over the top of the ball. You could not see two more obvious yellows.
 
Key pass master. Craptain. Lots of assists. Works hard.

I'd rather play a 300 lb Rooney. At least we'd get a good set piece, some nice finishes and cross field passes to Amad.

His fans can feck off and watch videos of him scoring penalties and playing well in empty stadiums. He's been shit since his second year here.
 
If you ever wonder how we managed to turn into a lower-mid table level club so quickly... Remind yourself that we made Bruno captain, let him stay as captain after multiple shambolic performances, and then gave him a giant new contract even though no other club is interested in him.

His personal fanclub always lose their minds over criticism, but this guy is so shit with the ball at his feet he cant even contribute to keeping possession against clubs on Wolves and Southamptons level. And when you need your captain to keep a level head, what does he do? What does he always do?
 
Forget red card for a second. It seems like he is triggering opposition press once he receives the ball, especially if he receives it with his back at goal. And another one who is struggling to cope with any kind of physicality.
 
0/10. Is there a captain in any league in Europe that got 3 red cards in less than half a season? I wouldn't say so.
 
Had enough of this guy, no way is he a leader, couldn't care less about his stats and how good he was a couple of years ago. Getting rid of him is the next step in us moving forward.
 
If Amorim continues to fancy bruno and dalot in his first 11 next season, better he gets sacked and get out with his 2 favorites.
Also, already tired of this 3-4-3 bullshit.
 
Realistically you can have a 15 years old with instructions to just hoof the ball in no man's land, pass without looking without using any foorballing sense and freedom to lose the ball at will and he will do the same job as Bruno.
 
It's genuinely embarrassing that he's captain. There are few players in the squad with a mentality less-suited to it. It's hard to imagine Amorim being the man to strip him of it though.
 
If Amorim keeps playing him in that position he won't make it here. Bruno is absolutely horrific in tight spaces. His ball control is a shambles. He is slow and can't get past a player to save his life. How on earth Amorim thought this was the position for him I'll never know.
.
 
Any manager that refuses to see that Bruno is a huge problem is not a good manager at all. Ole wasn’t. Ten hag got sacked because of Bruno’s chaos ball. And now we have Amorim trusting his countryman.

It’s just not going to work. He is everything you don’t want in a team mate. He is everything you don’t want when you want to control the ball. And he has regressed as a player. All of his good qualities have become even more inconsistent.

Eriksen is still twice the player. Please for the love of God, give us a few games without Bruno.

Whether it's worth a 2nd yellow or red or whatever is the wrong thing to focus on imo. It's the poor touch to give the ball away that's the main issue. Recurring theme. Couldn't agree more. If Amorim is here, he won't be

Craptain? Grow up mate. Also, quite clearly hasn't been crap since his second season here.
 
Think it's sad that so many people will rewrite history about his time at United based on his bad run of play. For years now he was far & away our only good player who gave it everything. It's pathetic for the fanbase to turn on him so quick
 
This is the only time we can sell him where we’ll still make a half decent figure too. If we don’t it’ll be too late

Yes he consistently turns over the ball when pressed. If it's near United's goal it usually leads to a goal or clear goalscoring opportunity. Liability.
 
Just looks spent to me, channeling his energy the wrong way.

In a slower league I feel he'd be immense, it's very difficult to play for United, we got the best out of him and it's probably time for us to move on and find creativity without Bruno. I just don't see a near term where we are comfortable and able to utilize him, the squad is a shambles. The days of a fit Rashford, Martial, Greenwood and Cavani to supply are long gone.
 
Where are the usual suspects always defending him?

He's the worst captain we've ever had, does not deserve to wear the armband ever again. He provides 0 leadership and is on 300k+ a week, looks like he's declining physically, his finishing has deteriorated to the point where it's downright bad and does not fit well in the system. Ship him to the Saudis alongisde Rashford
 
First yellow was debatable but second challenge could have been red.

Its time to move away. I have had enough of his inconsistency.
 
Most braindead captain we've ever had. Yes, he cares, but that's simply not enough on its own. We simply cannot afford a player so tactically and mentally ill-disciplined, nevermind that player being our captain.

He is not even the worst captain we have had in the last 3 years so ever had is a bit much.
