Yeah there isn't a lot in it. Bruno takes it for me just because of how influential he is in every aspect of play.I still think it's Salah. But apart from him, you're probably right. I guess you could make arguments for Rodri, Van Dijk and Alisson, but it's very even regardless of who you pick.

2nd in goals and assists
1st in key passes
1st in progressive passes
2nd in ball recoveries behind only Caicedo.
The only play in the top 5 for touches who isn't a defender
Just so much impact.
He is at 37 G/A this season (19+18) with hopefully 6 games to go. 40 is absolutely within reach, and 40 would be simply outstanding for a midfielderIn the last 2 seasons he has 65 G/A and he will get a few more before the season ends.
Probably notWatching United every week, you have to ask…would they have survived the last 2 seasons without him?

Take those away and relegation would have been a genuine possibility.
Crazy how Gary and Keane still feel the need to criticise him, he’s the only one keeping the team even remotely in contention for honours.
Big fan of Bruno and it was always a silly notion to think he was the problem. However there was a stretch where he was really poor (still decently impactful though) and seemed to play with no structure or care at all, and it's a bit odd to deny that. I personally put that down to the manager allowing that. Amorim's clear system, though not everyone's favourite, has brought some discipline and lifted his game.
Even at his worst periods though, my biggest issue has been the overreliance on him, rather than him being here specifically. We've never had a competent backup to take him out of the firing line at times when he's lost his head or just been terrible by his standards because the difference in levels between him and all other options is massive.
These days, even taking away the goals and assists, he's stepped it up even more and is unreal. Complete cheat code of a player like his first season.
Yeah, wrong choice or term. By care I meant taking care of the ball (not giving it away cheaply). If anything, he cares too much!Disagree with this. Bruno always cares, problem is he plays almost every game of the entire season so is bound to be burned out at times. When he gets a rest here or there you can see the difference in his performances.
He's hit a new level since Amorim arrived. Fantastic.
Did you watch us in in the 90's 00's?
