Was good when he came on. Get a good rest now lad.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Happy Holiday Bruno! See you soon.
Now he gets his well deserved rest.
He played well, the break will rejuvenate him again hopefully.
Finally time to rest.
Was fine when he came on, Portugal's best passer. Now, go find a beach, put your feet up and rest!
Playing him right wing is a bit mad.
When’s the lad back in training?
I think he's much better in United's system as a 10.
He's too deep for Portugal moreover he's exhausted, give him a long break.

Should have been brought on earlier, made a big difference
But the good news is he now gets a much deserved rest !

Has a bit of Stevie Me syndrome
A forgettable tournament for him but his lack of playing time and relatively early exit from the tournament is great news for us. Time for a nice break and to come back invigorated for pre season
He’ll just be back in Portugal now on the beach with his family and dreaming about winning it all with us. He’s the man. How some of you don’t rate him is crazy! The problem is he’s literally our only plan and we ran him into the ground and he was up for it. Few more like him and we’d be back on top.

Whipped in two very good crosses which really should've been finished better.
But he played far too deep for my liking at times. I suppose that comes with the territory of playing with Ronaldo and Felix. They all occupy similar areas of the pitch.

Shame he played so badly this tournament. He faded fast for us towards the end of the season, and wasn't helped by Portugal's imbalance conundrum. Hope he comes back fresh and is then told by his manager from time to time that he'll be rested here and there.
He was good when he came on. Progressed the ball played at least 2 great crosses, hustled back to defend but he didn't get that one shot on target, so clearly he was shit.
why is it a shame unless you are portuguese? I could not care less how United players play in this comp. My main interest is England
It makes a refreshing change to everyone else who plays for us.
Have a nice break Bruno. I'm sure you'll rest well knowing we won't be playing you in RW.
Hope he gets as much rest as possible now. He's played a stupid amount of games.
Yes, england must lose now so that more utd players get rest and sancho transfer saga ends.
You are joking
Once Sanches went off who is about as creative as a brick against a low block with no space to run into he became playmaker and made them tick. Couple of brilliant passes showing he’s top quality. Delighted he’s getting a rest though.
I am not. Thought he drove them forward more, tried to make things happen and put in a couple of really good balls. Portugal looked a much better team with him on
Very good set piece delivery, very bad everything else.
Pretty sure the players themselves care. Don't think Bruno now feels great because he'll get some rest.
Somewhere there's a Portguese search party out there looking for Bruno
I kid
I kid
Cause I like them and I wanted to see them do well. Also wanted Bruno to have a great tournament.
Hopefully the Euro lads get a long rest. Hasn't had a break since June 2020
when they go on national duty they become the enemy. Early exits all around. thanks
I hope he goes and lays down near a beach in Portugal for a month doing nothing. He needs both the mental and physical break.
Yeah, I don't feel that way. When Ronnie did his shtick against Rooney, my only worry was whether he'd find it unbearable to return to Manchester. So, for me, it's pretty much United players and rooting for the underdog provided they don't play like Greece back in the day.
I don't think people realize that Portugal didn't use him well at all. He's both a creator and goalscorer who works best in a free role or centrally, creating chances, roaming, working off the back of a striker and providing billing long passes and shots. He's not a playmaker that links up play. It felt like since he's a relative newcomer to the national team, Bernardo Silva in particular was favored over him, despite providing nothing for them.
It also brings another issue into question. Bruno may not perform at his best in a three man midfield set up. I know he has before at Sporting, but at United, his ability to support our attacking with his constant roaming and how good he is in running in behind the striker...those features of his game may not translate in a 433. He is our best player and has been outstanding THROUGHOUT his time at the club. He is and has shown himself to be a world class player.
I agree.
Not everything he did was good but he gave their attack and their whole game some impetus. He is a very positive, progressive player and those qualities stood out.
A decent rest and he will be back to his best I’m sure.
Very good midfield performance from him, was great to see.
The only sole reason I am happy Portugal are out of the Euros is that this guy now finally gets a fecking rest 
No surprise that Bruno or Rashford both look shot given they’ve been played into the ground the last two seasons. Get a good rest lads!
Good post, I usually fully agree with you to be honest. He’s our leader and he’s our most prolific attacker and he’s pretty much going box to box getting us up the pitch. Who else has done that apart from Rooney? Bruno I think is quite a bit fitter than Rooney but much less strength and explosive pace. We would have been lost without him for the last season and a half. First season - he comes in and we do the impossible and get into the CL. Second season finish second and get to the EL final. You add to that and compliment that. You don’t talk about selling him
Was excellent in no. 8 tonight controlling the game and very combative, couldve had 2 assists too had Silva and Dias able to convert them.
82nd game in 12 month period albeit only from the bench today. A damn right disgrace. Nobody can cope with that amount of football and not look half the player.
