Yeah, fully deserved.

Players should offer to refund the away fans out of their own pockets.

There's a rot in this team, and it needs to be removed. Even if it means we're 9th for a season or two, there is no winning with this group of players. They'll collapse with any adversity

Bruno just said to sky that he doesn't deserve to wear the United Jersey

How far can we bend the rules on shirt wearing?

Can we send the players out in a plain white shirt or even a turd coloured brown shirt?

Are we allowed to write a message like "disgrace" on the shirt?

Ronaldo can sit it out on account of his legacy.

That’s appalling, says all about the state of the dressing room

It’s not the first time we’ve heard it this season.
Spot on at this moment in time. Hope the players get the message.

Heck of an achievement from Bruno to already make me resent him more as captain than Antonio Valencia. Completely hapless as a leader for any team.

Heard this for months but actions speak louder than words and we’ve seen very little action all season.

Got to say it, as much as Bruno would be more likely to be part of the club going forward, his response to the question is just more of the same. Just going through the motions. One of these lot who are staying needs to say into the camera what the feck is going on, whatever it is. "The coaching", "the tactics", "the dressing room hate each other", yeah it's somewhat career limiting but all we're hearing now (and all we'll hear going forward from those that leave) is a bunch of blame shifting or no explanation at all.

We are falling deeper than Liverpool during their shitty times. Worse is coming.

There are times when players try hard but for whatever reason it just doesn’t work.
This was not one of those times.
That said what else is he supposed to say ?
They were all fecking wank and don’t dress it up

The function of Manchester United Football Club is not to win games of football. It is to part people from their money. The fans might care about the shirt but the club only cares about selling them. The Glazers will only leave when the money dries up. Fans need to stop giving it to them.

Honestly can't take hearing any players apologizing anymore. What does it actually mean for Bruno to admit that he and the team weren't good enough? Are they going to donate their salaries? Words are worthless if you never back it up on the pitch. They need to completely stop talking.

Try most of the season Bruno, not just today.

They're caught in a storm of negativity that is their own making. There'll be a few that leave this season but hopefully the rest will be told that they have one more year to save their United careers because we can't get rid of everyone.

PR bullshit from Bruno. Unbelievable we just rewarded him with a new contract

Shaw isn't fit to wear the shirt. Or any shirt until he ditches the Greggs' steak bakes

Christ this place is toxic as feck.
The players have been harangued all season by the press, opposition fans and their own. They've gone beyond the point of caring and become deeply cynical as a byproduct. At the end of the day they are human beings. You get enough criticism from enough people you eventually just think 'feck it.' This becomes locked in. Regardless of what I do I'll be criticised anyway so why should I care? Will be the attitudes.

Hopefully a reset next year will improve this culture. Regardless of how these players have performed they are all human beings and will want to feel valued and appreciated. Some of those poor performers with the right attitudes will improve next year I'm sure. Those with shitty attitudes to begin with like Pogba and Lingard should be gone anyway.

Thank feck there is only one more game to go.

It's just so pathetic. Criticising them feels like beating a dead horse but this dead horse is still earning millions so I feel obliged to keep whacking the crap out of it.

I think people need to check out for the season. We’ve got one game left, yes there is pride to play for but I think the team are just done with the season too.

Despite the hyperbole we’ve seen these type of late season results many times with other teams.

I think a lot of people will be surprised at how much can change over a summer. 10-15 players leaving and 3-5 coming in. A new coach. They bond over pre-season and a new dressing room dynamic is formed.

The rules don’t allow that unfortunately.
