I think it is quite possible that Bruno will beat the record. Why?
- taking penalties will be a potenially significant source of goals in a season covered by VAR, in a team with lighting fast forwards who draw fouls in the box
- he's a class player and finishes like a forward in the box, as well as having a good shot from outside it
But forget the record and the penalties, when was the last time we had a midfielder who scored 15 goals plus in a season? Not so long ago, actually, in 2018-19, when Pogba was the club top scorer with 16 in all competitions, 13 in the league.
We are still not scoring enough goals - if we can get the flow from the forwards going again, then Bruno will be like having an extra striker in his contribution and that will make a difference.
