Every single player we sign starts playing shite. At least we got a few good months out of him.

Yet people still think Ole or any of our managers have any say in the contracts

Ten Hag is stuck will him and he is unsellable.

He was poor before his new contract. But everyone who gets a shiny new deal with us goes to complete crap.

As I said at the time, Merson will inexplicably be proved right

United don’t do making pundits look stupid any more

Has any other player fallen from grace as bad and as fast as this guy ? Like from the 2nd coming of Cantona to worse than Harry Maguire kind of shit level (if that's even possible?!).

I don't think so, great that we gave him a new shiny contract for a shit load of money which will make it impossible to get rid off if he continues to play like that under Ten Hag as well. Which let's be honest, he'll probably will.

Bruno's horrid form and arrival of ETH could mean a real chance for VdB... or perhaps another signing among 98578234 positions in need of addressing.

Sometimes it does look like we need a new first 11, effin hell...

No shocker Sporting started winning trophies as soon as Fernandes left. Not elite and certainly doesn't have elite mentality.

I wanted him to take it but the club should learn to dangle the carot... players form drops after pay rises/contract increases.
Keep that shit to the out season

So... Mata comes on vs Norwich and plays really well.

So let's bring on Lingard and Rashford..

Hopefully he clears his head and gets back to the great play he's capable of, the odd good ball aside he's been terrible today and poor for months.

Average and infuriating player all season, just like any other player we've sign

Unfortunately his start at united will con supporters for years though that his amazing, the boards been fooled already

Been saying about this guy. Will never win a midfield battle with him as a 10. Awful player. Perfect for Spurs. If only.

I'd love to know the thinking behind it. What are the positives of that extra year for twice as much money?

He's become such a poor player. Worried that this is a player well be building around.

Assist from a corner incoming.

If he had scored the pen it would have been one of those ‘always manages to contribute’ games.

Rewarding poor performance’s was an awful decision from this club, wasn’t like it was running out or other clubs were chasing him.

He needs to stop whining and start playing better. I now he played great for 18 months, but he has underperformed this hear. Yet, now he has his new contract. Instead, of giving him a reasonable raise, we doubled his wages. Madness. It's not the miss that hurt us today. It's the awful control for Xhakas goal and his sub par performance. I wished we included more bonus rather than plain wage.

Stop the whinging, stop the rolling around, get your head in the game. Hopefully ten Hag can get a tune, but he’ll have buyers if he doesn’t

Sends out such a bad message.

You've been shit but based on that good year you had awhile back.. let's increase your pay!

It is definitely ironic, maybe they benefited from being able to play a proper system and use the ball the better without bruno wanting to do his own thing and be so wasteful in possession.

The guy is getting off too easily for all his wasteful shots and Hollywood passes that kills our build up time and time again, he is living of past glory, much like the club as a whole

We should sell the entire first team squad including Bruno. Play the reserves for the remaining games

i don't get how some don't see it. Even when he was scoring and/or assisting every other game, it was obvious his general play would always hinder us.

Why did we give him a new contract when his old one wasn’t due to end until 2026

He’s been in bad form for the entire season, and a new head new coach is about to arrive.

We will never move forward as a club until we fix these decisions making and I thought our new restructung is meant to improve this side of the process??
