I am enjoying watching Bruno but my opinion of him in this will be highly unwelcomed by majority of Utd fans. I know he is a bit of freak with his goal/assist but whenever I watch him can’t shake the feeling he is very Sneijder. Can influence games greatly with space and creative wide players around him but not the type to bulldoze through the midfield like a Kaka or Aimar. To me it’s one of the reasons we are not doing very well in possession and when teams park the bus we don’t do much.

This is not an attack on his ability because like everyone is noticed his numbers give all the answers to any questions. Just don’t think as a team we’ll ever play some tippy tappy football with him as the driver of our attack.
Can someone drum some common sense into my head? What say ye?

Oh! I am a Manchester United fan. Never supported Liverpool but my wife is. So figure.

Fine with him doing it in the final third, but he does do stupid shit in deeper areas which is annoying. Wouldn't change him though - it's just his style and the gains are worth it.

I would much rather 1 out of 3 decisive throughballs come off than 9 out of 10 sideways passes

Sneijder should of won Balon d’Or in 2010. If that’s what level Bruno reaches then I’m fine with it.

You didn't post for 2 years and you decided to blow your cover in such a weak manner? :lol: Pathetic.

Am not questioning that. I’m implying fans want to see a certain type of football but as of now with him as the main driver of our attack, that won’t be.
No you’re on a wumming mission and been rumbled

I will say categorically, and this is not true for many teams but you cannot support both Liverpool and Manchester United.
