I blame him for Leeds second goal. Has got to take that ball in and protect it. Should not get mugged so easily. Otherwise he was excellent and fought as hard as anyone.

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?

Was a crap ball to receive though.
As frustrating as he can be he still is an incredibly classy player.
Really happy to have him here.

Called it a few years ago. Getting a tune out of him will be key for RR success. Guys the heartbeat of the team
9 goals and 13 asissts. Such a poor season from him. Penalty merchant.
That flick though 
Made up for his blunder on Leeds' 2nd goal.
But he was excellent overall for me

People still trying to convince us he's having a terrible season. 
Mr. United.
Pogba giving him praise about the flick, half the people here doesn't praise his quality.
Incredible. Goal and assist - boy we really take this guy for granted here.

I truly believe a lot of users here come here just to troll.People still trying to convince us he's having a terrible season.
Expect REAL Madrid to be all over him once Modric retires.
Honestly, playing him as a false 9 must be tempting at the moment. His awareness in and around the box is brilliant.
False 9 Bruno also allows us to go back to a proper 3 man midfield. Make it happen Ralph!
Had a hand in every goal we scored. Of course.
This is Man United, you should be able to take the ball under pressure.
I don't think Bruno should be complaining about the ball, deal with it.
He was excellent today though.
Genius! Magnifico! Love him to bits. Hope he retires here with a few trophies to his name.
Though he was brilliant today. All action, running passing and always making things happen.
Think that's more because it was a good attempt but it didn't really work out (since Strunk got it but then fecked up).
Not only the goal and the assist, he also tackled and reclaimed the ball in the counter attack for the 3rd goal. More than enough to make up for his mistake in their 2nd goal.
But what is truly marvelous is after 90mins of fight in a terrible weather, and countless hard kicks he has got during the match, he still shown extraordinary effort and energy in the 4th goal. True Reds.

He has 9 goals and 12 assists this season? Low key could end up with a' decent individual season yet.
Today showed all his strengths and weakeness in one game, class and frustration, but can't complain if it amounts to 1+1 goal involvements.
He is the cornerstone of our team.Can't argue that.

If he could be a bit tougher on the ball, and not lie around on the floor after getting tackled it would be good. But looking more like the player that lift Utd that first season here.
The guy was everywhere. Helping press and defend one minute; chasing down their defenders the next. That flick was brilliant
It seems like he's back to last season's form of a wildly inconsistent 90 minutes but still making decisive and winning plays.
I'll take that any day over the Bruno we had in the first half of the season.

Pogba was teasing him about being a copycat - he did that in lead up to our 1st goal (lead to the corner). Genius players.
Far better second half even with the goal in the first. Bit soft for their goal though.
Hopefully he kicks on and bangs a few in now on our way to top 4 and CL win

When RR was in Russia? Hope you don't the lottery that day to mate
Bruno is nowhere near Modric nor do they even play the same position
You lose those Lampard esq late runs into the box that he's so good at though. Think he's better off a 9, just a Ronaldo would be better off one as well.
His player awareness is second to none. He had to time in that curved pass in split second. The heartbeat of the team, imho.
Again, still not sure if he can play in a side looking to contend for titles against the toughest teams, but games like today are tailored for his style. Wide open end to end stuff.
I also think he either has to play a sort of false 9 or as a 10 with a striker that drops deep to really be part of a cohesive team. Any other position or system and he just is too all over the place.
That flick was brilliant for Elanga's goal though.

Very good today, always a few moments a game that make you pull your hair out, but he's the heartbeat of the team.
Yes I was thinking this exact thing! Him as a false 9 flanked by two wingers and 3 midfielders behind (including Pogba) looks tasty.
His conduct lately reminds me of CR during his first period with us.
Was his assist for Elanga intended or did he try to knock the ball past the Leeds defender ? Not that it matters in all honesty
Hard to tell, but I think he actually meant it if you look at the way he immediately stops after the touch
Also, gotta say, his work rate is exceptional. Even at the end he was running like a madman, covering the right wing etc. I love him so much
That overhead flick for the 4th was filthy.
I had the same thought, but on the replay it looks like he knew what was going on and stopped at once.
No matter how bad of a form he represents this season, expect him to get something, almost every game.
TBH I'm more afraid of them going for Elanga as Modric's replacement.
