I fecking love Bruno. One of the only signings of the post SAF era that deserves the shirt.
Bruno announced as new Manchester United captain
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Do we usually do social media posts for a new captain? Or is this a "feck off Maguire" thing?
Decent choice of course but he basically already was captain.

He was captain most of last season anyway, correct choice
It was an obvious choice for Bruno to get the armband. He’s been leading our team most of the time last year and additionally he’s a loud fighter. Glad this is done!
It will be interesting if he will post something on social media becoming the new captain just like Harry did it when he lost the captaincy

Good stuff. Congrats Bruno, very deserved.
This 'my captain' nonsense is rubbish. Grow up cnuts
Bit of a whiner when things don't go his way, so he'll need to work on that. But I think a good choice overall.
He has his flaws, but he is the best option out of what we currently have.
Kind on @golden_blunder
Pretty obvious, no point stirring the pot further. I still think Martinez is the long-term replacement.
Best fit as captain we've had I'm a long while.
Well done Bruno.
Well done Bruno.
I'm sure it's his referee badgering skills and excessive moaning which nailed the appointment.
Happy about this and expected.
Fully deserved. Interested to learn who vice captain will be. Casemiro, Varane, Shaw, Martinez or Rashford most likely
Cemented it when he kicked the ball hard against Frenkie De Jong 
A good choice
Case or Licha to me based on the leadership they've shown on the pitch. Varane slightly too injury prone, Rashford needs to be able to focus solely on his game. Shaw i could see as well but seems to be a better when he can keep his head down.
I hope he doesn’t choose to go second on PKs again next time
Absolutely deserved.
I know he’s a whinge and I hate that as much as anyone but he is also clearly the leader of this group and the heartbeat of the side. There was no other serious contender.
Skilled hard working with desire to win. The role should help him getting less cards when he whine to the refs. Oppos gonna hate him even more so now. Whats not to like.
He was always the captain, now he got the armband.
Massive diss to Jonny Evans, this.
One of the few things I can be sure any Manchester United player ever posted to their profile themselves.
I don't believe that there has been any official decision on the vice captaincy. I'm sure that it won't be Harry Maguire though, even if he stays, as I'm sure that you having the pressure of the captaincy contributed to his form problems. Maybe this will be a blessing in disguise for the.guy.
Great stuff and the right choice really. Just cut the whinging out and he’ll be a fantastic captain, which I’m sure he will.
However there must be some serious tension between him and Maguire now. They have often gone head to head on the field during games.

Agreed, I hope he’s ready for the extra scrutiny that being the captain brings. I’m sure he’ll rise to it though, he’s a great character to have around. I can see him lifting a major trophy for us.
Do you think they had a ceremony in NJ where Maguire handed Bruno the armband and a " best of luck" hug?
Ah thanks
Honestly, he was the only choice.
I hope my boy Rashford is the vice captain. I think Casemiro and Varane are fantastic players, and Licha’s mentality is infectious but they have been here for around 2 minutes.
My preferred order would be:
Bruno (c)
Rashford (vc)
Varane
Casemiro
Lisandro/Shaw

Gary Neville preparing his next rant on Bruno as we speak.
Well deserved.
Totally deserved.
As the team's outfield iron man it's hard to argue with the choice, even if he can be petulant. Here's hoping he tones it down a bit.
Armband can’t be buy
The right choice, and hopefully the responsibility will remind him to keep his cool on the odd occasion he let's his temper get the better of him.
Martinez for Vice.
