Correctly predicted Italy to win Euro 2020
Buzzing he's got a new deal.
Whatever people say about him, he’s never ever even attempted to suggest that he’d rather be anywhere else and winning the things that we’ve struggled to.
Very good news. Can see United changing a lot over the next few years and it’ll be great to have our best player and captain through ithttps://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/bruno-fernandes-signs-new-man-utd-contract-until-2027
Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract that will extend his stay with Manchester United until 30 June 2027, with the option for a further year.
You presume it was to give Bruno a rest now and again, does he ever rest. Except Mason spent most of the season injured. Not sure what he will do now both are fit. Is Mount going to be on the bench?Excellent news, although the question remains unanswered as to why ETH demanded that break the bank for Mount.
Didn’t they both line up together Vs city last week?You presume it was to give Bruno a rest now and again, does he ever rest. Except Mason spent most of the season injured. Not sure what he will do now both are fit. Is Mount going to be on the bench?
Wonder what will happen if we bring any more midfielders in. Then we also have Hojlund back eventually and Zirkzee to come in somewhere. It is a nice problem to have for a change.Didn’t they both line up together Vs city last week?
Absolutely. I’d rather have that problem than having a bunch of nobody’s on the bench or players not deemed good enough. Will be good to be able to rotate in the Europa league but still have a squad strong enough to win it.Wonder what will happen if we bring any more midfielders in.

To give him a pay raise so that he’s among the top earners, in line with his enormous contribution and seemingly irreplaceability. Not just that he genuinely deserves it, I think this is important with regards to setting the tone with the rest of the squad.He still had 3 years on his contract, why did we ever renew?
His pay is sufficient, the others are overpaid. This is a wrong step.To give him a pay raise so that he’s among the top earners, in line with his enormous contribution and seemingly irreplaceability.

Well I’m just explaining what it is. Right or wrong, who are we to say. Our own opinions are worth zero in this matter.His pay is sufficient, the others are overpaid. This is a wrong step.
Are you saying we should offer Jadon Sancho a bumper contract to get him motivated?the problem with bruno getting an improved contract is that the other players will see this and think that if they start becoming our best player, then they might get a fat raise too. do we want a host of motivated and professional players in the squad?
The irony is beyond belief. I don’t mind non United fans posting on here and taking the piss, but only if they’re transparent and not pretending to be a United fan to wind everybody up. Mods, you know what to do!Oh great, few more years of watching him being next level obnoxious.
It's actually ridiculous that so many of our fans are against his contract renewal. He is by far the best and most consistent player we had post SAF. Of course he's not perfect and his moaning and the occasional game with erratic passing is frustrating, but still he finishes every season in the top 3 of pretty much any meaningful attacking statistic. Not only that but he also never gives you the impression that he would rather be somewhere else (ehm Ronaldo ehm Pogba ehm Cavani ehm Di Maria ehm Rashford). Honestly sometimes I wish we would drop him from the squad altogether for 3 months just so all those fans realize what we had. Even if you put his ability aside, the guy is literally made of steel, plays 90 minutes twice a week and runs his socks off every game. Yet somehow his performance thread after every game is filled with moaning about his 2 misplaced passes, a few arm waves and 1 erratic shot. Baffling.
The first mistep from Ineos...
Our Coutinho 'player and Moment' has evaporated. Expect another 2 years of a misbalanced midfield, nothing drastic is going to change in how we set-up.
By December 2024, we will be crying the same same cries we had last season, of being over run in midfield.
Reinforces the message, we will need another manager in the near future, as ETH still doesn't understand what/how midfield is crucial in Modern Football. ETH wants to win through sheer players quality rather than coaching a team to success and having a game plan.
Expect at the end of the season
being 5th in possession rankings
Being beaten around 8-10 games.
Winning at most 23 games.
As controlling football matches won't be our primary agenda.
None of which has anything at all to do with Bruno playing on a regular basis.
stop rewarding professionalism and consistency and start looking at their date of birth god dammit!the problem with bruno getting an improved contract is that the other players will see this and think that if they start becoming our best player, then they might get a fat raise too. do we want a host of motivated and professional players in the squad?
I've read this three times and I've honestly no idea what point you're trying to make.He's the face of this United team. The Captain. Talisman. Now one of the highest earners. He plays almost all games.
Is he the first player to have a contract extension from Ineos?? You get the drift... He is the main man, in the worst performing United Team in PL era
Or rather even the person playing him and giving him so much prominence yet we don't deliver is the main culprit probably.
Look at it, like this...
After HALF A BILLION pounds in Transfers, our midfield is dysfunctional as they come.
Remove Mainoo, an Academy Player who did cost ZERO pounds, the team goes into the midfield wilderness.
But when we get over run in games because of having poor midfielders, we will act surprised again.
Just wait for Fridays game and see how it will pan out.
All of that can be true, and we just keep him on his current contract which we gave him just 2 years ago.It's actually ridiculous that so many of our fans are against his contract renewal.

He's absolutely good enough for an elite club to want to steal him. The disrespect for our best player is staggeringAll of that can be true, and we just keep him on his current contract which we gave him just 2 years ago.
The fans want the club to make decisions that benefit the club, not that benefit individual players.
He was already on big money and we had him tied down for another 3 years if we wanted (2+1). There was no realistic danger of another elite club stealing him from us as he's not good enough or young enough to get a move like that, and we were in no imminent danger of losing him for free. All we've done is increased our wage bill to match the previous regime's ridiculous wage structure, and increased the likelihood of other players seeking the same bumper pay Bruno has.
I'm not seeing the benefit to the club here, only the benefit to Bruno's bank balance.

The likes of Real Madrid, Bayern, City, Barcelona are not going to pay us the transfer fee necessary and £300k a week wages to sign a 30 year old Bruno Fernandes. They're just not.He's absolutely good enough for an elite club to want to steal him. The disrespect for our best player is staggering
