So far he's a player that makes you wish we had a much better version of him.
Which we probably could’ve done with that Mason Mount money. Broken record, I know, but what could’ve been, man…So far he's a player that makes you wish we had a much better version of him.
Lets hope not.Have we committed to signing him?
Yeah unless he gets significantly better then it would be a waste of money. I said it previously but I don't think he's better than McTominay or Fred.Don't think so.
If he keeps this up, don't think we will.
Needs to play faster. This isn't the Serie A
Nice to know, I think Cas, rashford need time on the bench, come on with fire like martial and mctominayYep, and they always reached their target.
He misplaced only 2 passes and had 3 key passes.
Or the Casemiro money, or the Antony money, or the Sancho money etc. We've ignored it for ten years and never really replaced Carrick.Which we probably could’ve done with that Mason Mount money. Broken record, I know, but what could’ve been, man…
Top level Fred is a much better player. However Amrabat looks as if he will give you pretty much the same level of basic technical competence in every game, which could not always be said about Fred.Yeah unless he gets significantly better then it would be a waste of money.

£30 million for Ward-Prowse who is better and has started the season really wellWhich we probably could’ve done with that Mason Mount money. Broken record, I know, but what could’ve been, man…
Option to buy, no obligation.No. As far as I know, the loan fee was as high because we insisted that there is a break option.
JWP would have been a good signing. Even if it just meant we didn't have to look at Bruno take free kicks.£30 million for Ward-Prowse who is better and has started the season really well
I think they need each other...which isn't a good thing.Is it me or did his performance improve after Casemiro was subbed?
But those 97% was done by a lot of relatively pointless passing. It isn't just on him of course and Brentfords setup really challenged this aspect but today I had some flashbacks of the old zombie passing... It was slow, it was always to the player next to each other, next to no penetration, next to no line breaks (but as I said, Brentford was well organized which definitely played a part here). If that is what creates his passing numbers, I don't see a future here.Needs to sharpen up. Understandable considering he didn't have a preseason and got thrown straight away into the 11 due to the circumstances. Played much better after Case went off and doesn't give the ball away like our other midfielders (97% accuracy today).
Ah, thanks. Yes, actually that is what I meant but my choice of words was definitely poor.Option to buy, no obligation.
Completely agree. I also think, it would have been good value for money.JWP would have been a good signing. Even if it just meant we didn't have to look at Bruno take free kicks.
He was near the lowest rated Fiorentina in the last 2 season going by Whoscored. Give that the value you want, but can't think it is a good thing to be rated lowly.Well that was a performance matching hos Fiorentina stats..
You know he was shite when tje statman is posting his cherrypicked statsTweet

Classic example to not look at stats. He was nowhere near “controlling the midfield”. These “stats” are the reason why a section of United fans think Bruno is world class.Tweet

Going with him and McTominay might be the best pragmatic approach if Casemiro's form doesn't pick up.His aerial ability could be a bit of a problem, you ideally would prefer that the DM is a solid presence in the air to screen the CB's, but he is not good there at all.
You lose a lot in ball progression there, and you would have 2 players that struggle with tracking runners. Difficult to pick a balanced midfield with Cas hard declining physically and the lack of discipline in his game.Going with him and McTominay might be the best pragmatic approach if Casemiro's form doesn't pick up.
This place won't admit that they love the Hollywood passes. He still made some line breaking passes without have to take risky passes.Ah Redcafe! Saying he is not good enough because of his passing when his passing is exactly what we need in that midfield. How many times did Case lose the ball needlessly trying to be adventurous. I didn't expect him to light the league on fire and his start is pretty expected for a Midfielder coming into the epl from a midtable seria A side with virtually zero preseason. Case has been so bad in possession to the extent that a player who was supposed to be cover and slowly build fitness and sharpness now has to come in and be the anchor in midfield which has been the story of Man Utd for a long time. We are counting on a 20yr old now to be the main danger man because our star attacking decided to be shit after a new contract. We are counting on a 35 year old CB released from a relegated side to be our starting CB and are desperate for our loan LB cover to return from injury. It begs the question "how are we here after spending so much money every season foe the past decade??"
