    We’ve got Heaven and Kukonki as left footed centre backs if we’re concerned about Shaw or Martinez fitness wise, Fredricson has shown promise and he is more than capable of at least taking Lindelof’s minutes next season so if we’re looking at a...

    Agree fully and I said in a different thread I think Heaven and also Kukonki who Amorim’s said to absolutely love will push Martinez out as both Heaven and Kukonki whilst young are so much better physically and athletically suited to being top PL...

    You know Martinez is the same height as Roy Keane is right ? There’s a massive difference in being a 5ft 10 midfielder and a 5ft 10 centre back and he is no slower than Casemiro or Ugarte whilst being better on the ball and is most certainly not...

    With us now having Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire, Mazraoui, Heaven, Shaw, Fredricson and Kukonki at centre back I’d move Martinez when fit into midfield if Wharton can’t be got as Martinez is fantastic on the ball so offers more there than Ugarte in...

    I think within the next year or two Heaven and Kukonki will forced Martinez to go elsewhere or at least move into midfield as injuries permitting they’re both so much better equipped physically to play in the PL than Martinez and both have very...

    I don’t think Fredicson and Heaven will be as good as Yoro but based on their first team showings so far I think they’ll be very good PL level centre backs whilst Kukonki looks like an absolute beast in the aggressive Vidic mould but bigger...

    Bruno has to play as a midfield orchestrator as we have zero creativity otherwise and Bruno plays better in Amorim's system when having the whole game in front of him, Ugarte also plays better when allowed to just win the ball and shield the...

    Can’t believe you saw an extra goal that no one else saw across both games.

    If Bruno has wing backs on their natural side and mobile 10’s ahead of him then there’s natural width and available forward passes, inverted wing backs always cut back and pass back to Bruno or the centre backs and put us under pressure. Not...

    Definitely mate and it’s why Ugarte always looks better alongside Bruno as Ugarte can just do the ball winning and lay the ball off to Bruno to dictate instead of Ugarte having to play with the ball more when alongside Casemiro, the ideal person...
  • davidmichael replied to the thread Leny Yoro | 2024/25 Performances.
    When you think we’ve also got Heaven, Fredicson and Kukonki as well as Yoro we’re potentially well stocked at centre back for a decade if we can keep them happy and give them success. I don’t think it’s overrating him to say Yoro over the past...

    It’s why Bruno is better in midfield as an orchestrator and dictating play rather than as a 10 as he has the game in front of him plus the likes of Amad, Mount, Garnacho, Zirkzee and Mainoo are all far more mobile and have the ability to run with...
  • davidmichael replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.
    Once the subs were on it showed even more so that Bruno in this system is better as a midfield orchestrator with two mobile 10’s and the striker ahead of him, Bruno needs the game fully in front of him and we need creativity in midfield so it...
  • davidmichael replied to the thread Bruno Fernandes Out?.
    Like I said I’m only playing devils advocate rather than wanting to sell Bruno but if we could get a steady and dependable keeper, Frimpong, a quality left wing back, another ball winner to rotate with Ugarte, Wharton, Cunha and Gyokeres with the...
  • davidmichael replied to the thread Bruno Fernandes Out?.
    Now don’t get me wrong as I don’t think we should sell Bruno seeing as he’s been one of the best players in Europe this season and matured into a world class player so I’m just playing devils advocate but we don’t owe anything on Bruno transfer...
