He’s the new Rooney. Everyone loves him when he’s delivering the goods, which is pretty regularly, but when he’s not he’s getting slated to feck.

Well if that is actually the case….and the team didn’t win anything then it might be worth considering if lower stats and better all around contributions might be more beneficial to the team…hypothetically of course.
Or maybe the rest of the team should step up.

That's funny. I don't even know how that guy got that out of it.

It is not like if someone scores or assists, the other can't do it again in a game or something.

Its weird, there are few posters who do exactly opposite of what they preach in other player's thread.

It was in response to somebody suggesting you can’t have a bad game if you score and assist….which was probably in response to the suggestion that Bruno might be able to refine his game this season having Sancho to share the creative burden.

It’s terrible isn’t it that people could even suggest such a thing given how successful we’ve been of late.

What a beautiful freekick today, he looked really sharp. Honestly can't wait to see how he'd play with Sancho :devil:

What role model he is for the youngsters coming up, even in pre season he gives 100% and never anything less. Priceless player.

absolute nonsense. If he’s a gazillion miles better than the likes of Shaw, Maguire, Varane, Pogba and Sancho….he’s Leo Messi.
Triggered much?

Pogba isn't in same league as Bruno for us. Never has been. Fans don't chant his name do they? There's a reason why they chant Bruno Bruno Bruno and not his.

Varane and Sancho haven't kicked a bleeding ball yet either ffs. Think it's a bit early for those claims.

Bruno is easily our best player. Anyone who tries to deny this is delusional

Absolutely brilliant in the first half, joy to see him in the flesh at last

I think the way he was used in Euros may work to our benefit. A lot. It certainly would have given him a bit of a breather, but also to motivate him as well.

He's been the most influential by a distance in the time he's been here- although to be fair actually Maguire has become/is becoming more and more so.

I don’t think so..last season, especially post Xmas his form was erratic at best. He’s our most decisive player and an on form Bruno is a joy to behold but he isn’t a gazillion miles anything. Shaw and Maguire have been more consistent and an on form Pogba is a better foootballer, but less decisive and Bruno has had more impact for sure.

As for Varane and Sancho, they are both United players now and as such are in the conversation as you claimed he’s a gazillion times better than all our other players.

As for the first line…calm down. You’ve been triggered by a pre season friendly ffs

Saw this in The Athletic.



Expected Threat sounds a bit comical, but it does seem to be a much better metric for judging creativity than anything else we've got.

Interesting to see Matic so high too. He does play some great balls through the lines.

Cancelo higher than DeBruyne? Jordan Henderson too? Hudson-Odoi? Ashley fecking Westwood :lol:

I can’t take that seriously to be fair.

Under that clown we have as a coach on the NT it doesn't matter the quality of the players he has, Santos is terrible even if some of other portuguese posters here in the Forum keep trying to fooling themselves. With that said I really think he was tired at the Euros, but he was far from being the reason Portugal didn't played well, you just need to look into Jota or Bernardo Silva performances and they didn't performed also as a example.

His work rate is insane, couple of years ago when we were linked with him in the summer, I watched him in the preseason game vs Liverpool. In the second half, he made a sprint from attacking box to defensive box to make a clearance.

He will have good games and poor ones, one thing is for sure, he gives his all every single game.

2:11ish. He played a lot deeper - more box-to-box - in that game too. As you say, his defensive run started in his own half but the clip doesn't show that.

You need at least 11 players on the pitch and some on the bench to be a team that can play... So singling-out players is counter-productive.

That said - there is no doubt that Bruno is the most valuable player for us. I can't express how much I love having him in our team and how important he is for us. Interestingly, I think after Bruno, it's Luke who has become irreplaceable. The value he adds to the attack is insane.

I hope we have Bruno healthy and making us happy for many more years.

Your hatred of Pogba is borderline creepy.

Didn’t watch the game today but my word what a free kick. Take a bow.

Hatred? I don't hate him at all. He's a good player. Just isn't the player he's made out to be and his fanboys are almost as annoying as his agent. He's our second best midfielder after Bruno but the gap between the two is quite big for me. He doesn't influence games enough to be ranked alongside Bruno.
