I'll take it. He's 31 soon.
He’s still got plenty left in the tank, plus I don’t think we can replace his numbers this summer with one player, especially when we can’t offer CL football and a genuine shout at a title challenge. That’s the level of player we’d need to attract, I’d much rather keep Bruno and strengthen around him.
The wage bill after Onana, Bruno, Sancho, Rashford and Garna are sold, while Eriksen, Evans and Lindelöf are leaving
80m is not enough, they can get lost.
A newly promoted team maybe, if he agrees to a wage cut and we sell for a low enough feeWhere is he leaving to go
It would be great if he does but I can’t see who would be willing to pay actual money for him with his fitness record
This is good news, this is exactly what we should be doing!
From John Percy in the Telegraph
This guy really goes out on a limb with his predictions
I said this multiple times two months ago. The worst thing United can do is buy one dimensional players who only fit one facet of play.
If we see him as a Barella type player, then he has 3-4 years easily. As a pure #10 .. maybe?
Sell Bruno for £80 million?
Not taking that would lead us down the continued path of misery.
Move Bruno and reinvest across the squad. The correct next step to get out of the shadows isn't holding onto talismans, it's building a cohesive team that wins even when one or two players isn't at their best.
Hate having to parallel to Liverpool but this is very much a Coutinho moment/opportunity

How has the Bruno fee gone from 120 to 100 to 80? Sounds like a made up tweet.
It has been pretty consistent at 100M EUR.
The problem is £80m gets you one player, maybe 1.5 players in today's market, particularly when you're United and clubs know they can rip you off as you're desperate.
Think of the money spent on Ugarte, Fred, AWB, Maguire, Hojlund, Antony, Sancho, Onana, Zirkzee - nearly all of them £50+m players.
The only reason I could see us accepting that would be if an £80m sale would open up A LOT than £80m for us to spend this summer due to amortisation. I'd be a lot more inclined to sell if it was £100+m. Or if we accepted a lower fee for Bruno on the condition they take one of our unwanteds (Casemiro, Onana etc.)
Bruno has to go he's got no place in the squad? Manager said he prefers left footed 10 on the right, Cunha is coming in. Bruno can't play central midfield throughout an entire season. He's in the same spot as Mainoo albeit a more influential player.
He's a bit more than that - one of the few players Amorim actually improved. The regista version of Bruno .. and I think the term regista doesn't do justice to what he does .. is incredible.
It's one of those choices where you have to decide as DOF if what he brings at CM is good for another 3-4 years, and therefore title contender level, or if you should replace him with your bog standard regista / DLP like Xhaka / Partey and find specialists at #10
I think the latter as one of his biggest fans. No fence-sitting this summer. Sell for 100m. Get a DLP and an Mbuemo with that money and say thank you very much to Bruno.
Slightly laughable that people would think Bruno 'has to go'. You just need a proper midfield controller alongside him and mobile passing options on the side and ahead, together with CBs willing to step into midfield & enough pace in your backline not to be caught as a result of this.
All these people that want Bruno gone probably follow Mark Goldbridge
I don't think he has to go but I also don't think we get a similar offer in the next few seasons. Bruno gets older, the club world cup won't happen another 4 years and the Saudis are desperate for legitimacy. Can you imagine a Saudi club going toe to toe against RM?
They are desperate for quality and I think they'll pay this season. Purely robotic, no emotion calculus. I think we can do all of what you say, midfield controller (new signing), mobility / passing (I think Ugarte is fine) and CBs to help (New CB / Heaven LCB, Maz RCB) can do the job.
As the moneyball quote goes .. we're trying to replace Bruno in the aggregate. 100m gets you a lot.
I’m not sure what the right decision is regarding Bruno. That being said selling him for £80m while spending £62.5m on Cunha would be a downgrade for a relatively small amount of gain. Not dissimilar to saving money on De Gea’s wages but spending those savings and more on Onana.
If we sold Bruno for £120m+ then I start to come around to the idea. I don’t think he’ll be here when we are competing at the top level again so what’s the point of holding on to him.
That being said Bruno has been playing better as a CM this season. So he could have more longevity there than we might initially think. Modric kept playing at a high level well into his 30’s. Finding a highly physical and mobile player to play alongside Bruno is then a huge priority. Ugarte is a decent option but we really need someone better on the ball and with more legs than Casemiro has.
Said this in several threads, I don't about who's the manager, what the matters the most is bringing in players with the profile and quality and capable of being utilized in different styles
Bruno is worth $100m to us, why sell him for that and risk not being able to replace him?
We’ve already agreed a deal for a player with better attacking stats than Bruno, who fits the system better.
Funds used to improve other positions is all good with me. He’s not worth 40 million per season plus wages for the next 2 seasons in my opinion.

He does more than just what he does on the pitch though, he is the leader of the dressing room and obviously has a brilliant relationship with Amorim. I understand he can frustrate at times but there is no way we should be selling him for anything other than massive money. Yesterday is a prime example of he brings, yes he is frustrating and had so many shots from outside the box but he unlocked the door with a great pass to Amad for the first goal and was spraying the ball around nicely.
Take Bruno transfer chat and opinions to the specific Bruno thread please. Leave this thread for light conversation about the tweets.

If Ben has said something then the opposite must be true....
Seriously though if he wants game time, United is the right place for him to be. Chelsea have Jackson who is a good player and would want minutes, Newcastle have Isak who is an absolute world beater and the best striker in the league, Everton are not great.
If its just those 4 clubs in talks then i think we will get him, it makes sense for him to come here.

I guess Newcastle is the only club amongst those listed where he wouldn't be a guaranteed starter unless Isak is leaving.
But playing CF at any of Chelsea, Utd or Everton is not really a guarantee of selection for the WC given how each of these clubs is perfectly capable of having a clown show of a season next year.
In that sense I'd probably lean towards Utd given how the law of averages would dictate they will be better next year while Chelsea are just as likely to implode.
Don't think he's a guaranteed starter at Chelsea either. Jackson might not be great, but can easily see him end up starting over Delap
Won't play much at Newcastle cuz of Isak. Won't play much at Chelsea either because they will probably sign Osimhen or some other big number 9, plus Jackson is already there. So I think that if its minutes he's really looking for, then it should be between us and Everton.
We'll be offering more in wages than Everton and despite some claiming we are relegation candidates there is a bigger upside at United than Everton. I think he comes to us provided Newcastle and Chelsea don't sell Isak/Jackson and say he will be first choice.
Been quite clear for a while that Chelsea nor United will go for Osimhen because of his wage demands
He'll come here because he knows he'd be a starter.
Makes sense.
Have we even been linked to any midfielders? Or are we just going all out for the attack this summer?
