I think we’re seeing more and more how much of a pragmatic ‘practical’ manager he is. He’s a lot less of a dogmatic Ajax Cruijffian disciple than initially expected. A true Dutch Ajax spoofer like van Gaal would’ve probably had Bruno playing with the U23s for how much he gives the ball away
I don't wish to go down that rabbit hole, but i believe LvG would have loved him. In fact, a lot of the tactical experimentations with two forwards (either the infamous 352 or the 442 diamond) were partially down to the absence of that crucial #10. Also, don't forget that LvG's go-to formation was the 4231, not the classic-Dutch 433. He would have bitten your hand, during his stint at United, for a prolific creator who can also get in the box and score goals.
Anyway, good instinct for the goal. Well anticipated gamble and he knew exactly where he should place his shot. We rarely score such goals and that's a problem. Marcus had every right to be angry with himself for missing a similar opportunity to secure the three points early in the second half.
I also think he should have been moved deeper when Eriksen got subbed off. When we lost the ability to play the early ball in-behind, AV gained lots of yards on the pitch. Certainly better than bringing Maguire to deal with balls in the box.
