People have been so harsh on him, I think he’s been an excellent signing and although we’ve still looked shaky at the back recently overall he has made the team a lot more solid and shuts down that right side most week’s singlehandedly.AWB, had pretty much no help down the right side for 3/4 of the season and down not much got past him and he picked up 5 assists.
Bruno would be my MVP. As in, he's been more valuable to the team's fortunes than any other player.I don't know if there's a rule at Manchester United that says a player has to play a certain amount of minutes to be considered for POTY, but we haven't had a player make the kind of impact Bruno has made since we signed Cantona. I don't care of he's only played a handful of games. Bruno is our player of the year. He has completely transformed the entire team and deserves the recognition. AWB, Rashford and Martial are all well derserving of the award if Bruno wasn't here, but for me there is only one choice...
European-style POTY? Rashford by a country mile.
US-style MVP? Bruno.
I'd love to give Greenwood and Martial some recognition too. Maybe they can share the award that Mourinho gave to McTominay a couple of seasons ago.
You have Fred ahead of Bruno?Rashford, Martial or Fred. Bruno is an overrated player in my honest opinion. I’d probably go Rashford.
Yes. Fred was outstanding every game all season. With Bruno, it is a combination of many things IMO, but he only needs to breathe and everyone starts eulogising to me. I don’t think, purely as a footballer, passing, shooting/scoring, dribbling etc - he has been our best player by a long stretch. It’s mostly all these ‘lifted the team’ intangibles. I’m aware he has impressive numbers, but I don’t think he’s necessarily been an objectively outstanding footballer. Very hit and miss, but coupled with the upturn in our results and the wave of positivity, I think he’s perhaps been a little overpraised, and I expect that to slowly dissipate over time.You have Fred ahead of Bruno?
In fairness Bruno was a different player before the lockdown. But Bruno has been majestic
Brave, but I agree to an extent. The reason for the upturn was getting an (more than) adequate player in the number 10 position. Pereira and Mata was not even close to cut it. Bruno is great, but even more so are Rashford, Martial and Pogba.Yes. Fred was outstanding every game all season.

Even since he has been here, he hasn’t shown nearly the consistent actual quality that Martial has shown, for me. He’s a weird one to judge because he seems to have ‘impacted’ the team, and as the consensus goes ‘making others play better’. But those ‘others’ are better players I think. I think he’s a level below the likes of Martial and Rashford as players frankly, and Greenwood in terms of talent too.
