He really hasn't though. And to say that 'the common denominator is Bruno' when we've had terrible coaches and a slew of awful signings and dreadful squaddies is utterly moronic.

Even before his red , he was absolutely gash. Literally got targeted by Wolves players cos they knows he’s soft as shite. Doesn try and protect himself or the ball. He sets such a terrible example as captain time and time and time again. He’s been one of our better players over the last few years, though feck me that bar is low. But I do dislike him as a player and genuinely wouldn’t be sad to see him go nor would I ever class him as a club legend.
And Amorim needs to stop playing him in the ten role. He can’t protect the ball, he can’t run, he can’t dribble, he can’t play in tight spaces. Stop fecking playing him there.

I was talking about the second
Couldn't even do the post match interview, despicable. Not united captain material, our worst ever I'd argue.
original poster clearly said "the second one". and they're right - it's arguably a straight red
Pretty interesting that Sporting improved when he left though. He is the footballing equivalent of Russell Westbrook, an inefficient stat-padder who makes it impossible to win consistently such is their profligacy with the ball.
Always been incredibly overrated. Will be a good thing when he’s gone.
Quick? Seriously? Have you just started watching us? Bruno has been awful for the best part of three years now.
It was always people like you who used to come here with the stats book trying to tell us that our eyes were wrong. Well now that his stats have also died, it’s easier to see why he is such a huge problem even for the non technical folks who liked his chaos ball style.
But don’t worry, fans at OT will still sing his name when he comes to take a corner that will 9 times out of 10 never beat the first man.
Both yellows arose from him being dispossessed with United in attacking positions.
He loses the ball, gets frustrated, doesn't have the speed, athleticism or flexibility to win the ball back cleanly so ends up giving away stupid fouls.
I'm ready for the club to move on from him. However I'm fearful now that Amorim will fall down the same rabbit hole as Ten Hag and make Bruno his talisman, especially with the Portugal and Sporting connection.

Yeah, if you look at the tackle it’s not like just misses the ball and is unlucky, he simply isn’t winning it but (assuming he doesn’t want to get sent off) clearly thinks he will. It’s like his mind thinks he’s quicker than he is.
Bruno has pissed me off royally but those little weasel posters using it as an opportunity to go after the fanbase deserve fecking off themselves.
He's piss poor in possession and is incredibly weak physically. Not to mention how slow he is and just lacks the intensity to play in one of those 10 positions. Appreciate what he did for us in those 2/3 seasons but we should sell him while he's actually worth something.
Stupid emotional players who are on their way down don't win you games. I laughed at Arsenal when Gallas had his meltdown all those years ago. Bruno has one every couple of weeks.
What you eluding to ? A snipped quote is generally hard to interpratate
His athleticism has gone. He will be 31 next year. I think its time to sell to the saudis.
It’s about time people stop calling him world class
Ah sorry, misread!
He's the biggest single contributory factor as to why we're so shit in big games and have been for 3 years+
Between the tantrums, endlessly flicking the ball to opponents, losing the ball needlessly in our half and his inability to read the game and calm things down when needed. Panics when we're winning and throws the toys out when we're losing.
I have no idea who Russell Westbrook is.
Well now you know, he's an inefficient stat-padder who makes it impossible to win consistently such is their profligacy with the ball.
feck me, Jesus is only a day old and he's bawling his eyes out and not because he wants feeding......some joke about a right tit!
He just lacks composure. It's weird, for someone who's so good at penalties but in game he just doesn't have any form of composure. And it gets worse when we're under pressure or we're a goal behind.
Another outing, another sh*tshow from our captain. This guy is often compared to the likes of KDB, Ødegaard, and some of the best attacking midfielders in the world, yet he’s nowhere near their level. One of the biggest issues with our team’s inability to maintain possession stems from him. For someone with such a high reputation, his basics are appalling. His first touch and physicality are so poor that it’s baffling our players even pass to him in dangerous positions. He loses the ball 9 out of 10 times in such situations.
What’s even more mind-boggling is how he’s managed to survive under every manager he’s played for. He’s always the first name on the team sheet! Anyone with a basic understanding of football can see the subpar standard he brings to the game. Honestly, I wish he’d been given a straight red today at least that way, we wouldn’t have to see him in the lineup for a while.

Remember this?
I would add our "captain" into this quote.
Bruno you’ve been our best signing since the fergie era, at times unbelievably good for us but it’s time to go.
Sell to Saudis and put a hard to refuse offer in for Florian Wirtz. Do it!

I don’t think it was a yellow. For what it’s worth I think Bruno giving the ball away is the biggest issue and one many reasons why I’ve wanted him out for over a year.
Yes he was great and spectacular when he arrived and for a few seasons. But football is about moving on once a player has lost his ability or his style of play no longer suits where you’re looking to go.
We need to let him go.
Amorim should know better than anyone that selling Bruno was the reason Sporting got back to winning titles.
He plays because you haven't had anyone better to play ahead of him. I think a fit Mason Mount easily benches Bruno but sadly not sure it ever happens
I actually be happy if he doesn’t play for us again. Should be given the Rashford treatment.
He definitely has quality but he isn’t anywhere near captain material. He is a petulant cry baby and I can’t remember a time when he took the team on his back and delivered
I said it 3 years ago tbh. So clearly a flawed player who puts a ceiling on your squad, hardly someone to ever name captain or build around unless top4 is all you want
Yep, some upset people on here tonight which is understandable.
But if they think we'll be better with lightweight wingers in the centre instead I don't know what to tell them.
Oh definitely. He’s been a horrible, horrible captain. Always has been. Always will be. The The silver lining of his immaturity is that we’ll finally see the team without him. Was never getting dropped or rotated anytime soon.
The myth that he tries too hard. What the feck does that even mean?
I think Ruben cannot wait to sell him and reinvest the funds. The truth is that we need to move on from a number of players but far too many have little to no value whereas Bruno does have enough of a reputation that there would be takers if he was known to be available. not a massive fee maybe but not the peanuts we often end up selling for. Ruben won't do anything to damage his value until he goes but I am sure he is fully aware that there is no room for Bruno in his preferred system.
Red card not good. Me not happy about it.
Pros: great work rate OOP, great vision, good creator in the final third, good attacking movement
Cons: slow, weak, poor on the ball as a dribbler, inconsistent technique, rash decision maker
Just don’t think you can ever have that many cons and be considered anything close to world class, regardless of stats. Yet people chose to anoint him and the club made him the main man

His weaknesses are only getting more apparent and can no longer be covered up by him scoring or assisting. Very weak, slow, zero press resistance and awful at tackling. We can't play any good football with him at the heart of our midfield or playing as the left sided attacker. He's an instant weak point for opponents to exploit because he can't keep the ball or outrun anyone these days. So easily bullied off the ball as well. We should certainly be planning on selling or just make him a useful sub. Shouldn't be captain either. Terrible leader.
