Based on Bruno's form the last 12-18 months I'd happily see him benched for Eriksen.

Sancho got 5 goals and 3 assists ironically same number as Rashford although you'd never know that reading the comments on here.
He's not nailing anything down with those numbers.
He wasn't great but Rashford was diabolical. His all-round game just seems a better fit for the way we'll likely be playing.
I‘d be surprised if Bruno is not important in Ten Hag‘s plan. Maybe he is thinking of playing 3 1 4 2

It'll be interesting to see how ten Hag sets up his team but I think it's worth pointing out that everyone isn't going to play every game and all of the best players don't have to be shoe-horned into the same XI. We should have options and rotation will be needed to keep the squad fresh.
It is already been debated in some other thread, I think at this stage of his career and with his illness in mind, he would rather pick bigger club with the manager he knows and who clearly wants him, plus we will surely pay better wage than Brentford (unless they break their wage structure + offer him longer contract). Staying in London might be tempting in that case, but otherwise I don't think so.
Thing is, it was Sancho's first season in the league, Rash has looked disinterested last season.
Yeah, they both should have deadlines on them. I don't know why it takes so long.
Give Barca our final offer and a deadline. If they pass the deadline pursue the next player on the list. When you reach agreement with that club give Barca one final chance to accept.
If it's a matter of us offering 70m and them looking for 85, 80m should see the deal done. If he's as good as I expect, then it'll be money well spent.
Ronaldo will love Eriksen. Kane is missing Eriksen and Trippier.
Kane : "Where is the crosser? After both Eriksen and Trippier left Spurs and Kane. Lesser goals from the wide has been scored by Kane.
Eriksen to Kane is like Tadic to Haller for Ajax. Ten Hag knew when he bought Haller from West Ham to Ajax. Some relations are important.
And not only Eriksen. Getting Raphinha as RW will be the same. Raphinha has really precise long ball, trough ball and crossers.
Raphinha - Eriksen/Bruno - De Jong/Fred/Garner - De Jong/Bruno/Eriksen - Rashford/Sancho + Ronaldo/Rashford
Relations : Raphinha&Eriksen&Bruno------> United CF Ronaldo/Rashford. He will get conistently top service. Feed him consistently. Not only with passes. But good conistent support and link up play. And beside being a good precise passer. They are goal scorer too.
If not Eriksen. The alternative to him is the upcoming Ajax offensive creative cm who got some matches in the end of last season for Ajax. In Kenneth Taylor. Kenneth Taylor left foot is really precise right now and can be really good in the future.
One to watch out and keeps close eyes on. Kenneth Taylor from Ajax.

Brentford or money? He should choose.MUFC v Brentford to sign Eriksen....who wins
2021/22 -Mctominay, Fred, Bruno
2022/23 - Fred, De Jong, Eriksen OR
De Jong, Eriksen , Bruno
Forget about other areas, that difference alone is staggering.

I'm so damn excited for once. We are going to have technical players all across the midfield. It's going to be incredible!
Initially it might be a bit of lvg zombie passes but we will get better very quickly
I follow an account on twitter who seems to get a lot of ITK info. @zeeshankz is his handle.
He tweeted 2 days ago that Eriksen would be a done deal after the Eriksen family holiday, July 1st.
He's been right on quite a bit so far so fingers crossed.

To United?
Alistair Gold has said Eriksen hasn’t made up his mind yet so this is likely bullshit.
It’s amazing how many of these ITK’s surface every summer. From outta nowhere.
But encouraging news today that Spurs are seemingly not keen.
Hopefully, we get this done. Quality player and helps with our budget too.
If this is true in the next couple days, then I’m inclined to hold a little bit of weight to his words

Gold knows nothing.
He really does not have precise crosses.
18,6% of his crosses find a target of his own team. And it's on a curve that isn't improving:
Well, that's not necessarily his fault. That stat is a bit ambiguous.He really does not have precise crosses.

Main thoughts on this are:
1. Interesting that ETH seems to very much want Eriksen and see him as central to his plans, rather than feeling ah it's a bonus if it happens, which is the way I think most fans saw it at first, understandably.
2. Tottenham don't look overly keen. I would hope we're the frontrunners now.
Positive stuff.

Agreed with the bolded, but it shows how little actual attention people pay to the performances rather than reputations of footballers. Eriksen is an obvious nailed started for us based on his time at Brentford, Bruno falling off a cliff whilst remaining highly flawed, Sancho being thoroughly disappointing, and Pogba having left.
Rashford's problems last season were deeper than G/A numbers. He was struggling to control a ball, giving it away constantly and simply not tracking back or working for the team.
Saw a video recently that explained he was only better than Rashford (if memory serves) with his crosses, and that the lack of quality on his through balls means it's something he'd have to cut out if he goes to a top side.
Not sure beggars can be choosers, especially us this summer. He improves the squad and competes directly with an underperforming player, plus he’s eclectic and he’s ‘free’. I don’t think he’s uppermost tier, but he trounces what we have and to pay for superior talent than him, we can’t afford to do that this summer.
I’d rather see him ahead of this mythical player we’re chasing than Bruno 10 out of 10 times, so it’s a no brainer, for me.

Sure, Bruno is our big problem. He only created 3 more scoring chances than anybody else in the PL last season, so why would anyone want him to start.
I really don't get this Bruno thing. Most chances created in the PL, 10 goals and 6 assists in the PL. And that's him playing for a dysfunctional team and having an off-year. The season before he was second in league scoring - a better goal scorer than every striker in the league except Harry Kane. There is such a thing as getting too caught up on your own eye test.
Because he treats the ball like a bomb.
He must have read the Manchester vs London thread and realised how much better it is up north.
People keep saying Eriksen would be less careless with his passes than Bruno but Erisken has the lesser pass accuracy. Is this a case of reading too much into stats?
Really thought he would end up back at Spurs but I guess money talks and no doubt you have offered him a ton more cash. He will be an excellent signing for whoever gets him.
As far as I'm concerned, he can treat it as a bowl of porridge if he likes, as long as he keeps up that kind of output.
Fecking Woodward. Just sign someone already!!!
An unusually bitter sounding post from you.
By all accounts Man Utd have not been offering stupid money this summer so don't think this is true at all.
Yep, that's the only reason he would choose us over Totspurs.
One sip of Manchester tap water and it was a wrap, they're saying.
Rashford got 20 and 13 season before. Let's see Sancho get those numbers in a proper league before we start giving him automatic starter status.
Both of them can do so much better.
So with Eriksen, is it him behind Ronaldo and Bruno wide right?
In fairness I didn't say he was guaranteed to be an automatic starter I just said I thought it was likely he'd nail down the spot.
Spuds made contact weeks ago and didn’t follow up. Conte probably doesn’t want him as used him badly at Inter. It’s all media rehashing old stories to create a click frenzy from United fans.
It isn’t good output in the slightest if the remainder of the time he is giving the ball to the opposition or putting his own team under pressure. Simple fact is most players don’t play in such a haphazard way or they too could boost stats on paper.
He should be utilised in a forward position, but certainly not midfield where what he does is a threat to both the opposition and his own team.
