He’s just another level above

 

[arnie_ni]

What a man. Sell Pogba. Our players are back smiling. What a guy!

Feck that. Get them in the same team together

 

[Jericholyte2]

Do we have the stats for this game, chances, completed passes etc?

 

[AltiUn]

He's been an outstanding signing so far.

 

[Redplane]

And to think he s not near the twilight of his career like RvP was when he arrived. Love the confidence/cockiness and actually backing it up with play too.

 

[kundalini]

Outstanding first half from Fernandes. Looking to create at every opportunity. Super shot that Mignolet touched on to the post. Another decent attempt forced a save. Great vision and pass for Mata's assist.

2nd half free-kick was rubbish.

 

[Utdstar01]

To think we did our best to let him go to Spurs in the summer...

 

[lumeyes]

How did nobody go for him all this time? Absolute bargain. Superb player.

After Liverpool played Sporting at the start of this season - and around the time he was being linked to us - Klop said he wished we wouldn't buy him. I believe he meant it.

 

[Cliche Guevara]

He’s good. I like him.

 

[Utdstar01]

After Liverpool played Sporting at the start of this season - and around the time he was being linked to us - Klop said he wished we wouldn't buy him. I believe he meant it.

Reckon he'd be excellent in theirs and City's midfield. So glad we snapped him up.

 

[VeevaVee]

The orchestrator. What a player!

Thought he was trying too hard to have a shot off before he dinked it over to Mata. He worked really hard to make that happen.

He lifts the whole team with the way that he plays.

 

[RedCurry]

Receiving absolutely rave compliments from Scholes and Hargreaves.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Taken us to another level. We need to continue to bring in talent like this. Class act!

 

[pav1790]

Scholes comparing him to KdB. High praise indeed.

 

[MrBest]

I will say it again, Pogba who? This guy is a proper leader, so much energy, positionally brilliant, technically almost perfect, passion, a proper United player. Imagine Rashy and Pogba are back by April for last 5 or 6 games? Fred, Mctominay, Rashford, Martial, Bruno and Pogba. That combination could be deadly. I would be comfortable selling Pogba in summer now. BRUNO BRUNO BRUNO!

 

[Hawks2008]

We need to build around him, awesome player.

 

[ReddBalls]

We need to build around him, awesome player.

I believe Ole has been building a structure to accommodate a player like him since pre season. It's the reason he has held on to the 4-2-3-1, with Lingard, Pereira or Mata playing there as place holders.

 

[Sylar]

He's great but we need to now add quality around him. Few more signings and I don't think we are that far away

That's how much of a difference one or two right signings can make

 

[InfiniteBoredom]

The most valuable thing about this guy is that he’s never afraid to take charge.

This is reminiscent of the period when we first signed Zlatan, just even better, because Bruno has the energy alongside the leadership to constantly coax the performance out of those playing alongside him. For too long our players have let their head drop and become directionless in games, not this guy, he will try and try again and in the process bring others into the effort.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Build the team around this guy.

Absolutely phenomenal performance!

 

[James_42]

His transfer fee already looks cheap, even if he hits all the add-on requirements.

Really hope we get to see him and Pogba on the pitch together, think it would be pretty awesome to watch.

 

[predator]

That's it now. I'm indifferent to Pogba leaving. I was abit worried about him leaving us because I couldnt fathom the thought of losing our most creative player but the tables have well and truly tuned now.

Bruno is a monster. Would I love to see him Pogba and Fred play together? Yes.

I cannot believe how much of an impact one player can have on the team as whole.

Full credit to whoever's ultimately sanctioned the signing.

 

[meamth]

Next season, I'll buy United kit with Bruno's name on it. Great player.

At this rate, he'll be United legend.

Zlatan comparison is spot on. It's the right level of arrogance and leadership with the ball to shape the way the team plays.

 

[SAFMUTD]

I dont want to overreact but DAMN HE'S GOOD

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Zlatan comparison is spot on. It's the right level of arrogance and leadership with the ball to shape the way the team plays.

He's everything you want a Utd attacking player to be.

Quality mixed with a bit of arrogance.

I've been trying to stay level headed and not get carried away with him but it's very hard, he looks such a good player and even better than that it looks like he's inspiring other players around him. Martial and Mata already look to be developing good chemistry with him.

 

[hungrywing]

Get him six months sooner and we're around a minimum of 10-13 points better off. Better late than never maybe.

Potential for Woodward to have vetoed the transfer. Which would now mean a certain degree of (further) power shift regarding player recruitment.

 

[MetoTTT]

He makes things ticking. Now we need the right manager, add more quality around him (good transfers lately I reckon) and he'll shine for sure. He seems so happy to play here. A true leader!

 

[SportingCP96]

Thats because he was cheap. I Told y'all 55M was basically like bringing him to you wrapped in a bow. In todays market thats nothing,

 

[bosnian_red]

Amazing how involved he is in every chance. Obviously the last few games, but today even with 5 goals, he set them a up while he was on. Set up James' shot before pen, brilliant pass to Mata before he assisted Ighalo's goal, played the pass to Fred before he assisted McTominay's goal. The thing that makes him so good though is hes brilliant in the final 3rd and is so productive, while also having everything else you want from a midfielder with his work rate, pressing, controlling the game, always involved... brilliant player.

 

[VeevaVee]

I think Rashford is gonna thrive off him by the way. I'm hoping they create some havoc, and there's gonna be long shots hitting the woodwork all owa the place

 

[TsuWave]

I hope you are joking. Pogba is a class player and put him in a team that can play and he will shine ( see French world cup winning team )

Please don’t say things that make sense here. The cool thing is to shit on Pogba because Bruno’s doing well. Stick to the script

 

[TrustInOle]

He’s just another level above

Completely agree. Feel myself getting a little giddy watching him play for us! Been a while.

 

[TrustInOle]

Thats because he was cheap. I Told y'all 55M was basically like bringing him to you wrapped in a bow. In todays market thats nothing,

I did see you consistently signing his praises throught this and last season. You're half the reason I started following him more this year. Kudos.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Loved the pass for the second goal.

How was his general play ?

 

[InfiniteBoredom]

Thats because he was cheap. I Told y'all 55M was basically like bringing him to you wrapped in a bow. In todays market thats nothing,

You have another promising youngster in your rank? We may as well not bother with scouting and just nab the best performer off your team from now on. CR, Nani, now Bruno.

 

[RedCurry]

Funny thing is that because Bruno likes to play quick one touch passes, now everyone is having to make those runs and not look stupid just letting the ball run out. He is basically dictating how he thinks everyone else should play on the field.

Nobody wanted to play slow tumescent football. Everyone wants us to be able to pass through teams better. And it's been frustrating especially for the forwards to have to play with such a midfield. It's not Bruno dictating how the team plays as much as improving the midfield improving the collective given the influence of this area of the pitch. We need to not sit on our laurels and further improve our midfield as it still needs much work despite this impact over a few games.

 

[Devil may care]

Excellent performance, he's definitely inspired the team in general to up it's game and become more confident.
