This is my worry.I don't really think he is type of players ETH likes.
What do we really know about his class though? How long has he been here and how long has he sustained it? Martial, AWB, Maguire, Rashford, If we got a trophy for every player that had a massive first 12 months at the club we'd be rolling. It's also probably time to stop treating the questions to his performance like blasphemy or persecution. I'm actually more surprised there are people who watch him flounder in every big game and still have no cause for worry. At least understand the criticism coming his way is very warranted.
Yes Mata is leaving indeed but Im afraid we will have to endure more of Fernandes.Absolute gutter of a player, we will sell/drop when he can’t get in the Portugal squad!! Nothing of a player.
PS is it only me that hates seeing his tattoo of the number 8?? Number 8 your time is up at Old Trafford
This didn’t age well (from the first page).20 goals and 20 assists next season but does he give the ball away too much?
I was 60 per cent correct.This didn’t age well (from the first page).
Only 10 goals and 14 assists, and basically been an absolute liability with the ball for half of the season.
We know that he carried us at least 1 year ? maybe even more.What do we really know about his class though? How long has he been here and how long has he sustained it?

He’s fecking miles off Cantona. Cantonas biggest strength was his footballing iq. He was an absolute genius technically and mentally. Bruno’s not close. Rooney was miles closer. Berbatov. Yorke etc. Bruno benefitted from a lot of pens but he’s a suspect footballer and Eric was never. Ridiculous comparison.I don’t even recognise him any longer. I held him
to a high standard previously and gave him a lot of harsh criticism, because he’s the closest player we have had to Cantona, apart from Zlatan’s brief sojourn here. He should be a talisman and stand up when it really matters.
There’s just nothing to work with currently. He’s in complete disarray and that contract already looks like it is going to shape up with the worst us and Arsenal have offered in recent years.
Good thing we gave him a pay rise.. Hope Ten Hag gets rid of him. Horrible character too.Tweet

Foe me the Cantona comparisons were absolutely ridiculous when he was in his purple patch here. That is the only time he had something in common and that is decisive game changing moments. His football IQ, touch, strength....could go on and on, he is nowhere near the player ability wise of Cantona, as as poster says a few posts up, others have been much closer than Fernandes, I think Berbatov was the closest, he was a fantastic player, just didnt really work out for him here.I don’t even recognise him any longer.

All facts.He’s fecking miles off Cantona. Cantonas biggest strength was his footballing iq. He was an absolute genius technically and mentally. Bruno’s not close. Rooney was miles closer. Berbatov.

Please can Man Utd follow up by saying it was an April Fool's joke... please!Tweet

A what?just quoting this to do "I told you so" routine. I told you so.

I believe we can still sell him for decent money like 40-50 m but part of that transfer fee might be needed to pay him off to leave but you are right that contract renewal was another self inflicted wound .Maybe had we not renewed his contract. Now, I fear we'll be stuck with him for the forseeable.
What a daft decision that was. We could've easily got some decent money for him as there's still plenty who think he's actually good.
He will come good. i honestly feel so much of this frustration is the lack of off the ball movement - something ETH will fix.I just cannot stand all the whinging and moaning on the pitch from him and he seems to go down so easily!
I am starting to get Di Maria (the dog) vibes about him and that is not a good thing.
I don't see how ETH can make him stop playing those crazy pointless passes and what he did yesterday has happened on other occasions. At times the opponent scores and sometimes it amounts to nothing

I’m so happy we are shite , wow great comment paljust quoting this to do "I told you so" routine. I told you so.
Bruno is undoubtedly a better player than he's been showing in the last 6-7 months, both his earlier time at our club and his time at Sporting are testament to that. However question marks about his suitability for a team that will (allegedly) want to play possession football under ETH are valid.That's the result of a toxic dressing room. Bruno is undoubtedly a quality player but if half of the team (or whatever percentage) doesn't give a damn, then that can toxic environment can bring you down as well.
