Nothing needs editing.Looks like you've accidentally included some of your own opinion within my quoted post in the last couple of sentences. You might want to edit that out.
The issue a lot of people had with him in the last couple of seasons was that he would too often try the Hollywood pass instead of being more sensible in possession, but they failed to realise that this was likely a tactical instruction from Ten Hag who encouraged the kamikaze football. It is no coincidence that since Amorim has come in, Bruno has been a little safer in possession. I've also noticed him telling his teammates to 'calm it down' in possession with his arm movements, which we never saw him do under Ten Hag. He is doing exactly what you expect from a captain by carrying out the manager's instructions on the pitch.
Old Bruno crept out with the needless rabona, then new Bruno returned again. Was great last night, needs more criticism from Keane though to get us through to the final. Fire him up again.He's matured his game, I'm guessing (hoping) by instruction. I'm rewatching the last 15 minutes, and there's a couple of instances in which he resisted the proverbial hollywood/desperate ball
He's been very good for a while now
We don't deserve him!I couldn't care less who does or doesn't wear an armband, and said so multiple times, but I just can't understand how people watch Bruno and don't see an absolute leader.
Fantastic player, fantastic mentality. He'd be held in higher esteem if United weren't utterly shit as a while (which he's of course also a part of)
He occasionally waves his arms and whinges at people. He also got sent off a couple of times, which has led to 3 separate threads being created about stripping Bruno of the captaincy. People really get their back up over minor drawbacks of a player and ignore all the positive attributes they bring to the team.I couldn't care less who does or doesn't wear an armband, and said so multiple times, but I just can't understand how people watch Bruno and don't see an absolute leader.

Utd Legend to the absolute bones of the man.
Nah, sorry, but he was almost never 2/10. Massive exaggeration. Also, most of the criticism that's come his way from our fanbase has been over the top. He's been brilliant since joining but this season he does seem to be even better than usual.Its quite simple with him this season, he's elevated his game, got rid of the petulance, and fully embraced what it means to be captain of this team. He was rightfully criticized in seasons gone past, but his consistency this season has been whats stuck out to me, particularly in 2025. he used to be 9/10 or 2/10, whereas now his worst performance feels like an 8/10. class player.
Nah, sorry, but he was as almost never 2/10. Massive exaggeration. Also, most of the criticism that's come his way from our fanbase has been over the top. He's been brilliant since joining but this season he does seem to be even better than usual.
In what way ?Absolutely World Class player, hopefully even the daft fans who thought he was the problem now understand that we’re so incredibly lucky he hasn’t gotten fed up of the shit and left us.
Modern day Robbo.
Yep. It's an odd one because since fergie he's the player that's played at the highest level, worked the hardest and cared the most. But some took against him because he doesn't play safe all the time to guard a 90% pass accuracy average. Oh, and he occasionally gets frustrated at the absolute shower of shite usually around him and has a moan.Expect a lot more revisionism as posters try to justify their absurd moaning about him for years. A world class player and has been since he arrived
Agreed here. He’s just levelling up even more.Nah, sorry, but he was almost never 2/10. Massive exaggeration. Also, most of the criticism that's come his way from our fanbase has been over the top. He's been brilliant since joining but this season he does seem to be even better than usual.
Yes and I think that’s a direct result of Amorim and his team’s direction. Ruben said in a presser that Bruno needs to trust his teammates more and I think that message was taken on board.I love the guy, but I will admit to having a "fking hell Bruno, what are you doing?" rant at some stage in most games. Doesn't mean I hate the guy or want him dropped. Maybe I just need to realise these creative players won't always take the safe, obvious pass, and make allowances for it!
Does anyone else think he's also toned down the histrionics in recent months? Not rolling around looking for soft frees, not moaning as much at teammates, just getting on with the job? He'll still have a go at the ref and say "hey, I was fouled back there" but this time he's getting up straight away and just making his point. I think it's benefited his game if he has.
In what way ?
Not sure you know what a Trojan is.He's immense. Heart of a lion, workrate of a Trojan (were Trojans notoriously hard workers?!) and absolutely tonnes of ability. We are so lucky to have him.
Yep, I know my Odyssey ta but didn't know they were renowned for their hard work.Not sure you know what a Trojan is.
He has had some truly awful games in the past, which I never understood how a player could have such a low bottom level but at the same time have such a really high ceiling at his best.Nah, sorry, but he was almost never 2/10. Massive exaggeration. Also, most of the criticism that's come his way from our fanbase has been over the top. He's been brilliant since joining but this season he does seem to be even better than usual.
Ok…well to me Robson was top player, at least a couple of levels above Bruno. Not particularly close.Top player leading a team of players, many of which aren’t close to his level.

I don’t think fact that he’s captain of poor United team is reason for comparison to one of greatest players to ever play for United and one of greatest midfielders of all time.
