Horrible nickname.
This contract extension leaves me wondering to say the least. I have always maintainted with the current Bruno, we'll never get anywhere serious. Unless he changes his game of course

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

I hope I'm wrong and this pays off.
Just need a stern manager to weed those things out of him. He needs a telling or two. There is an awesome beast in him somewhere.
How well does he fit ETH’s football?
In terms of actual effort ? More than about 70% of the current squad.
Okay, for wome United players a new contract meant that they can relax until next negotiations (Martial or PP are the best examples).
I do hope it's not Bruno's case. Love him so much, even though he's having an average season.

He has had a difficult season so far, but he has been a standout player. I am glad he has been tied down to the club for the long term.
Who’s got the most assists?
In our team? Pogba.
Fernandes has been a more reliable source of creativity over the season.
So this was basically just a pay rise. I wonder if he demanded it or we decided it.
Who cares, he earned it.
Yeah, but to be fair he's earned it.
Now he just needs make sure he deserves it and keep up scoring and creating goals.
Great news. Like's been said has a few flaws but is arguably most deserving of a decent contract in the squad. Always looks 100% committed, no shenanigans in the media, seems like a thoroughly decent bloke and loves the club. More of this please.
Unlike other extensions over the past decade, this lad has definitely earned it.
Biggest impact signing in years, and potential to get even better, under the right manager.
Well in Bruno.

Well in Bruno.
On his stats alone, I am happy that he has signed a new contract.
My only hope now is that he knuckles down and develops his game further; namely his retention of the ball.

Not including Ronaldo, since he's obviously at the end of his career and long ago cemented his place in United lore, Bruno is our only outfield player that has a chance of one day being considered a United legend. We desperately need to build a front six around him moving forward so that his prime years aren't wasted.
The big task for the next manager is to try and mature Bruno's game, he's incredibly erratic with his passing.
I think a lot of his indiscipline and wayward passes stem from playing in a side that has no system and carries too many passengers on the pitch. Bruno is constantly forced to try and conjure up miracles and hero moments because who else is going to do it? In a team with a good, well defined shape where there are others to help with the heavy lifting he will be exceptional.
How awful has he been since the contract? 
He's been the same for nearly 1,5 years now.How awful has he been since the contract?
He was just as awful before. He is shiteHow awful has he been since the contract?
How awful has he been since the contract?
On the clearance list for me. He’s absolutely fecking awful, I will bet anyone 100 quid that he will not be in Ten Hag’s first X1 by the 2nd season
I have said this earlier, but doesn't matter who the manager is, till the time the person who is making decisions like giving Bruno a new contract is at the club, we will not go anywhere.
Not going anywhere with this guy, doesnt matter how good he can be on his day. He just doesnt have it.
Mental decision.
Yes, extending contract of best performing player in last few years is "mental decision", modern United fanbase at its best.
He had years on his contract, and we give him a payrise. Classic United. Next up Rashford.
Didn't we also renew De Gea's contract after his abysmal 18/19 season?
We renewed De Gea's because we were desperate and he had a few months left. This was running to 2026!
I was worried hed do the jump, and then he added the pogba trot too
True but he also didn't deserve to be earning more money after being awful the season before.
Van De Beek is going to bench him eventually
What a terrible form he is in, liability on the pitch. Don't think he will retain his position next season.
Awful player for what we need next season. Hopefully sold in a year.
This guy 
Love him but my word he’s shite right now.
Every single player we sign starts playing shite. At least we got a few good months out of him.
