Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Don't think so. He was great in that Ole set up. Counter loads of space. Hopefully that's not the type of football Amorim likesPlot twist, amorim to make him great again
He's the most creative and hardworking player we have. There's nothing about nationality in play here.
Don't agree. But that's ok.
Mostly good today, the guy would rack up insane assist stats if our top 3 had some finishing skills.
Jesus they are wasteful. Bruno lacks composure and quality in the end product as well unfortunately.
Ridiculous how many chances we waste.
That back heel volley throughball to Zirkzee was pure filth. Such a creative player

Wow.. who's the most creative player then? Eriksen? But is he capable of pressing so much, just seems like Amorim's demand of his player?
Would have been some player if he could take care of the ball.
Him and Mazraoui were our best players today. Can't believe how some are still blaming him for this draw. Totally stupid.
Last corner of the game and to potentially win and he cant even beat the first man
THere was a talk of replacing him with Zirkzee in the past. Probably having Neville's mentality of not owning their mistake, thus keep drowning him at every opportunity.
Happens to some of the best corner takers sometimes. I can't imagine it helped that the ref made him stand stationary in the cold for well over a minute whilst he talked to some of the players scuffling in the box. Man, that ref was unbareable today.
Ref was shit but Bruno should be able to deliver much better crosses
We mustn't forget it was cold
Yeah true, poor guy
He's a terrible set piece taker.
I can't think of many other teams in the Prem who have a worse main set piece taker in terms of product.
Hence why the “big chances” were in inverted commas. Nobody is agreeing with your assessment in this thread - somewhat unsurprisingly.
Fernandes was a player where the juice was worth the squeeze - you accept his shortcomings because he runs like a mad fecker and would score and assist at an alarming rate. He barely does the latter anymore.
It’s also as useful to have midfielders who are comfortable under pressure and don’t play so instinctively. Swings and roundabouts.
It won't be too long till we find out. Looking forward to seeing what Amorim can do with our squad including Bruno.
I'm guessing you don't play football much? Standing stationary in the cold for a over a minute is not advisable of you want to deliver good crosses.
Time to move on.
I would take him off set pieces if Eriksen was a regular starter. I'm not sure who else should take them though. Rashford's free kick technique doesn't lend itself to a high conversion rate.
Feel for him, since the rest of our attackers are just extremely bad and it's making him look worse than he is
Put in a decent shift, yes with some mistakes, but his forwards were gash.
Eriksen is better yes. Bruno has a monopoly on them to the extent that even when we had a set piece specialist in Sabitzer, he still dominated
Hardworking can equate to running around like a fool after a ball while upsetting the formation etc. I would say Casemiro was hardworking today definitely covered less KM’s but had more interceptions and influence on the game.
I think Amorim would love Casemiro also, just like Bruno. The other poster saying that Bruno would be a starter under Amorim just because they share same nationality, of which I disagree with.
Nani was a better set piece taker.
That corner at the end like the countless other ones down through the years where he hits the 1st man. I’ll never understand why we never have a player at the front post
Exactly where Nani used to hit them, Vidic would arrive there and throw his head at it.
It's not hard to put in a decent corner. Genuinely can't understand how a professional player can be so poor at it and still take every one.
Decent performance today from him. Set up a sitter for Garnacho who messed it up. Put the world's slowest man through on goal and he messed it up too. But he also messed up his own great chance. The ball dropped perfectly for him, he's got to be hitting the target from there, scandalous how much he missed it by.
For the love of God, can someone take him off set pieces too. He scored a fluky free kick via a deflection against Leicester so that's probably him on fks for the next 3 years but his free kicks on goal are absolutely shit.
And that corner at the end. Last kick of the game, overhit it if you have to because someone might keep it alive at the back post. But to not beat the first man is terrible at that stage of the game.

Light and shadow. Think he was decent and yes, maybe that was enough to be up there with the best players TODAY. Don't like the complaining once again. He spent time complaining and asking for a card while an attack was still going, if the captain loses his head like that, I can't see that not having an effect on the others. Few of his passes were ok but boy I hope that Amorim brings football where I don't have to see that on a regular basis. Very professional pen though, I'll give him that.
You can debate how well or how badly he played until you're blue in the face but we would be fecked without him.
It was similar in the summer
Reality check Eriksen been far better this season, Bruno still gave the ball with silly Hollywood passes and he needs to be taken off all direct free kicks, he’s actually really poor at them?
Well by that same logic, Donny should’ve been a nailed on starter under ETH.
Bruno isn't that shit, mate.
How we doing with him? Guy has been consistent garbage three years straight. He has four or five Stan’s here for sure but majority see through him.
Nonsense
Like we were fecked without Cantona. Or Ruud’s goals…or Beckham…or without Ince perhaps
Much much better players than Bruno have left the club and we have arguably performed better after leaving.
Bruno is a luxury player we can ill afford
The slight difference being that we had world class talents like Scholes, Giggs and Rooney ready to fill their shoes after they left.
Thought he was poor generally. Our midfield 3 had no control of the game it felt like with all 3 giving it away far too easily and barely linking up with eachother. Casemiro was the pick of them I thought
No, but if quality is the barometer (which I expect it will be), then there will likely be no guarantees for Bruno.
