We can all agree that Bruno has made a massive impact since coming to United.

What he's brought to the team has made it so obvious as to what we were missing before and have been missing for a long, long time. We've only really been able to win games off of quick counter attacks and opponent mistakes where we can break and outnumber them, because we've not had a player who can think fast enough and execute passes precisely enough to be able to carve open defenses. We'd usually get to the opponents final third, knock the ball about slowly, eventually find maybe a yard of space to a player out wide who would put a speculative ball across and 99 times out of 100 it would be cleared easily. No one was able to think quickly enough and execute precise passes consistently under pressure until Bruno came in.

This problem started pratically the moment Scholes left the team and we became incredibly predictable and easy to defend against. Even in his mid 30s Scholes was indispensable to us.

Our culture as united fans seems to be focused on pace and 1 v 1 ability but Bruno has shown how football is done best showing how important players like Scholes are to a top team consistently winning football matches.
