I just put all my balls in a bag and #18 was first out... so Fernandes 18 it is then
Same,hope he can be half as good as our last MFer to wear it...My favorite number <3
He shoots from range, gets plenty of cards (7 yellow 1 red this season) and can actually pass a football.Same,hope he can be half as good as our last MFer to wear it...

Obviously, being new to the club he's saying things extra nice, but still – very pleasant to hear these. Does not sound like a money-chasing mercenary.
if he’s as effective as a young Scholes then we are laughing. I don’t expect him to become the deep lying player scholes became but a few more goals and assists from our attacking midfielders will be so refreshing. I think he’s Just a better player than anyone we’ve tried there in ages. I think he’s a lot more aggressive than mata, Jesse, Kagawa and Miki and he looks on paper like he could be a top PL player. Brunoooooooooooooo!!!
He has got a great head for radio.
Probably our ugliest midfielder since Paul Scholes too!
He's like a cross between Dobby the House Elf and Jack Whitehall.He has got a great head for radio.
How is Scholesy ugly? He is the sexiest man alive.

Scholes wasn't ugly. He's easily the best looking human to have ever walked the earth.

One of my favourite ever photographs.

Other than that, he was also a Captain at Sporting. He gets used to setting example as a leader, and be the team talisman.if he’s as effective as a young Scholes then we are laughing.

me too. It’s just I’ve muppeted too hard and broke myself and now I’m always fairly cynical about our signings but I do think our last few players have been better. This is an exciting signing by any measure. I just wish we’d got him last summer but that would hint towards planning and I still don’t think we have one.Other than that, he was also a Captain at Sporting.

I'm properly excited with this signing. (Just like I was when we signed Pogba, Mkhi, Kagawa, Mata, AdM, and Schederxxxlin)
I think we all agree Lingard is shit because he is paid as a class player and he used to be good/average, Pereira is not criticized as much because he is still seen as a youngster eventhough he’s 24, both should hit the door in the summer.Lingard is terible, but Pereira is also on the same level.
Why has Ole or any of our coaches not picked up on this and stopped using these players in the first team?
They can't all be this incompetent? Can they?
No, he can play for us.Is Bruno cup tied fot Europa League?
You know that Ashley Young was a midfielder, right?Same,hope he can be half as good as our last MFer to wear it...
Amen!Calling it now, 25 yard screamer against wolves.
Overthinking much? Bruno is plenty fast for Bournemouth...I've only seen youtube clips but this is my thoughts.
- In deeper positions, he is not seen moving much. His use of long passes to switch play should be useful, or if he can use them to start counter-attacks. It is still questions about his ability to hit those with accuracy at a higher level because he simply wont be awarded the same amount of time on the ball before making the pass from a standstill position.
- In the hole. Has good technique and first touch that can be used to avoid press. Once again, the press is minimal and the tempo is slower. He might find it hard to use his technical ability to the same level due to the physicality of the PL. If he can adapt and become tidy enough to quickly assess the game around him, his touch should contribute to making him effective in that role. At the beginning, I think he will be caught out and lose the ball a lot from trying to dribble past players, as he isn't quick or strong enough to get away with it. Hopefully that doesn't knock his confidence.
- Shooting. His shots look great. He should be able to get in shooting positions a lot in our setup so if he can keep his accuracy he'll score a lot.
- Creativity. He has decent vision, but again he is awarded with a lot of time on the ball with no pressure on him outside the box. It wont be like that in the PL. It's either crowded or you have players touch tight pressing the shit out of you. Despite the lack of pressure, his passes look a bit sloppy. Maybe it's the pitches that makes the ball bounce, but he needs to be very accurate in his passing because there isn't much space to take advantage of. If he really is a creative player like Silva, he can adapt. I do not think he'll offer much in this aspect though as he doesn't quite look like a playmaker to me. In any case he should be an upgrade on Lingard, simply by being able to control the ball for a simple touch and go.
In summary, now that he is here I am exited to see what he can bring. He should be afforded some time to adapt, and getting half a season of experience before next season should be good for him. An untimely injury or something like that and I think this is a player that might struggle. In that case we should sell him quick, if it is clear he wont work out after a year or so. Hopefully he has a perfect adjustment period and brings his a-game to Old Trafford for the foreseeable future.
What you said didn't make sense.Overthinking much? Bruno is plenty fast for Bournemouth...
Ole said he's fit and ready to goThis cnut playing on Sat?
His name isn't Bruno Sand Watch. He got it wrong this time.
No. Teams can register 3 new players even if they played in the competitionIs Bruno cup tied fot Europa League?
