Just watched it back and that flick for the 3rd goal is actually unreal, that's what we were talking about when we said Pogba and Fernandes could create a top-class partnership.

His mentality and composure on the ball is Scholes-esque at times. Deft little feints and the additional touch slows everything down but then boom, releases the ball into space or picks up the tempo again.
He‘s filled lots of gaps in our play.
He's only 25 years old? Goddamn what a gem that we're having.
Safe to say I nailed it on the head with this one.
I told you guys for months he was the real deal and many doubted me!
Its fantastic to see him playing at the highest level as his quality deserves.
Best player I have seen play in the Portuguese league.
Him and Falcao/Hulk are the two that I can remember being so far ahead anyone I've seen in Portugal but Bruno did it for a terrible team with no help where as falcao has one of the greatest Porto teams of all time.
I've never been happier to have been proven wrong. What a player!
You certainly did. Your analysis was spot on . He is the heartbeat of this team now , one hell of a player .
With how much you were raving about him, I was surprised to see nobody really want to buy him other than us and Spurs. So I had my doubts. Glad I got proven wrong!
I have never doubted you, in fact I believed the first thing you said about him. However on behalf of the measly mortal who did, please accept our humble apology and forgive us.
What I like most about him is his character, proper leader, head never drops, always trying difficult things and not afraid to shoot.
Was the main trigger for our turn around, great player.
This guy is incredible. Full credit to the scouting department and Ole because I had a hunch this guy was going to be too slow and sloppy for the PL but he is pure magic, even without any long shot goals yet.
He will be the captain of United in the near future I have no doubt about that. He don't have the armband but he's the leader on the pitch for sure.
Ya like I said when a player has that much quality they can do it in any league. Glad he's doing well in United!
What a signing .
absolutely astounding to believe our only options were Pereira And Lingard before he signed

Ole still needs to replace both or at least one of them though imo. One injury to Bruno and it's back to one of them stinking up the place again.
Worth repeating again, but how the feck were we the only ones seriously in for him?
Could stick Fred or McTominay there and have Pogba further forward. Won't be as good but definitely not Lingard/Pereira bad.
He’s improved us massively just by virtue of not being Lingard and Pereira. He’s positive and I feel will get better in time too. Once we get something else on that right side, the attack will go up again.
Even when he isn't doing mercurial touch and goes, light layoffs or banging in penalties, he's always awake and alert. A classy player that isn't afraid to do the dirty stuff, work hard and try to make things happen.
Gem of a player.
Gem of a player.
Every time he has the ball I get giddy cause I expect he'll do something with it. It isn't surprising that our unbeaten run coincided with him coming. His signing has lifted the whole club so much its remarkable.
He’s good in a crap league , he won’t cut it in a proper leagueWorth repeating again, but how the feck were we the only ones seriously in for him?
Don’t forget he was also facing pub level keepers.He’s good in a crap league , he won’t cut it in a proper league
Can we have another one please. I mean seriously, who next?
Quite possibly the best player at the club. Absolutely brilliant player and a positive player too.
Our own budget KDB
I fecking love this guy!
It was painfully obvious to us just how bang average they are - but sometimes I think for the coaches it takes a new signing like that to make them realise. Ole seemed surprised just how much better he was than our other options
I believed you because i follow the portuguese league......but i still thought he would struggle in our team because we were average till January and of course he would need at least few months to adapt to the english football.
That back heal for the 3rd d goal was orgasmic
This guy!I wonder if one day the caf will get irritated with his misplaced passes once we're used to him playing. Definitely when he hits bad patches of form. Our support will be tested then.
I have no doubt he’ll have a bad patch at some point, all players do. He will be incredibly frustrating due to just how much risk he takes with his passing.

I never doubted you, SportingCrystalPalace96.
You need to e-mail Ed Woodward and apply for a Scout position.
Absolutely quality player, changes our play so much. The interplay in the final third was excellent and he was the hub of it. This is what I expected when we signed Mata.
This last game was poor compared to his previous standards as not a lot came off for him, but still he has a lot of support.

His poorer games will eventually be noticed if we don't win, but for now I think he's safe from that.
To be fair Mata was class when we first signed him, and then age took over.
I'm also surprised the ease he came in to the team, and connected right away with the rest of team. Then Pogba came in, both just clicked. Now you can see Bruno sometimes played more up front with striker, knowing there's Pogba that capable of supplying him.
Good time.
Good time.
Ok, man. Steady..take it easy..Those talking about misplaced passes and all, that's all part and parcel with Bruno - he tries to pull off the difficult passes and flicks a lot, and not all of them come off. However, when they do, they always lead to a good goalscoring opportunity. But that is exactly what we needed in our team, as everyone was just too safe with their passing and it became very easy to defend. Take the 3rd goal - his backheel might only be a 50/50 chance of succeeding, but it led to the goal. Another play might have chosen an easier option to take the ball under control, shield it before laying if off to the right wing.
Could also see how free Pogba was in his play yesterday too. No longer did he have to try to be the one always creating in the final 3rd, and he could focus on his deeper role where he was excellent and controlled the game with Matic with his passing and ability to progress the play up the field.
