Ah, I suppose it is my own fault for coming into football forum.
Should the captaincy be removed from Bruno?
- Thread starter United Hobbit
- Start date
How about 2, or maybe even 3 games?
Think this was when Martinez's leg was cramping up so Bruno communicated this to Amorim which led to him filling in at CB whilst Martinez was one of our furthest men forward.
@NZT-One Something something watching mobile ads though right?
I think that he is a very good captain and excellent leader. People who question that are talking nonsense.
He’s a lot more calm the last few games. A much better player for it
Still not a fan of baby whining though

Wouldn’t change him now. But wonder what he was at for last two years when you see what he can do. Don’t like the diving and whining - would have more impact challenging bad decisions if he didn’t look like a two year old throwing a tantrum. That matters because we need a captain that can effectively challenge bad decisions without just annoying everyone.
I think he’s improved recently. Not a major issue that needs replacing like he was before, by the time we are serious title contenders , ideally, 2 to 3 years time he’ll already be at an age where dropping him won’t be an issue and he’ll be a good squad player and invaluable personality in the changing room.
I've never really trusted him as a captain, but this is a pretty good interview, reflects well on Amorims impact and the response it's got from Bruno.

Ah come on, it is a joke. It is an odd thing to praise for me. This is where some roles are just very thankless, you obviously expect your captain to do something in those situations, so every captain will do it. Thats why I think, it is a bit odd to single out something like that. Thankless because a player doesn't get credit when he does it but would be criticised if he doesn't do it. We aren't praising our on field medical stuff for being prepared to give medical support as wonderful people always prepared to help people in need. It is their job isn't it? Also those scenes only become meaningful, when the result is good, I guess Arsenals players were also in a circle with Arteta and Odegard talking stuff. But there are no tweets about it.
And just for the record, the idea to take the captaincy away was obviously misguided. Would have only added negative headlines while adding no benefit on any level. For my personal liking Bruno is still too impulsive but when he manages to keep that in check, then he is probably one of the most suitable players we have for the role - contributor, always available, experienced and good workrate. He is certainly doing a good job in total.
Yes. The temerity of him giving us some hope in the cup competitions. I could have gotten home 45 minutes earlier if he hadn't tried single-handedly dragging us through to the next round. Sick of him.
Take the captaincy and give it to who? We have no leaders on that pitch. The only player who qualifies for it is Martinez and he's injured.
Onana is a loud mouth with no consistent quality.
Mazraoui doesn't even speak it seems on the field.
MDL has lost all confidence to speak up compared to his Ajax days.
Dalot not captain material.
Ugarte just goes about the pitch silently.
Diallo only getting consistent minutes now. Injured for the season.
Mainoo has had questions about second season syndrome.
Casemiro/Erikson the club are looking to move on from.
Garnacho nope.
Hojlund/Zirkzee??? Really.

Any stats on how much he gave the ball away yesterday? His passing yesterday was awful.
Bruno's been the best captain we have had since Neville retired. I don't mean to do Rooney and Vidic a disservice but with the squads they were captain of I don't think they had much work to do in the way Bruno does.
A couple of weeks ago, some fans called him the worst captain we ever had, just because some bad performances. And he was the sole reason why Amorim's system cannot flourish...
Our fans are morons, just look at literally any thread in the football forums.
Football fans have knee jerk reaction shocker!
He's been your best player since he walked through the day. I think Man Utd will be a lot worse without Bruno in the team.
Yes, he has his short comings but he's the best of your lot and I see no reason why you should strip him off captainship.

This may sound silly, But I would bring Kamason in at Right Wing Back and make him captain. Young but good enough. Let's look to the future. For the rest of the season I would like to see
Harrison
Mazaroui Yoro Haven
Kamason Ugarte Moorhouse Dorgu
Bruno Mainoo
Biancieri/Obi Zierkzee/Garnacho
What have we got to lose

You're right that sounds extremely silly.
Every match until the end of the season?
That may happen anyway. Have you seen any of Kamason? With one hand tied behind his back he's better than Dallot
The lady of Dalott
Well at least you're aware of it.
Give me strength. Should be banned for wumming.
