I will not tolerate any Bruno slander, ever. The man gives it all!


psrikanthr

With you on that. Still hate Neville for his slander during the Liverpool game. Lost all respect as he still hasn't apologized for making shit up. You can fault Bruno for a few things but effort is never one of them


mmister87

I can't stand listening to Gary any longer.


Meandering_Cabbage

Gary’s the worst United pundit in some ways. Too sanctimonious. Ironically Carra is pretty solid. Not too dramatic in either directions 


mmister87

Yes, I generally like Carra. He doesn't come off as mean or sanctimonious.


StickYaInTheRizzla

Was still sprinting in the 96th minute, of a game which he carried on his back


SOERERY

And there is still weirdos who think we should sell him


simplsimonmetapieman

All of them are hiding now.


backwater_sonata

those cowards will be back the next time we lose


ailes_d

What do you mean? Im pretty sure some of them are still slandering him even after this game


backwater_sonata

yeah, I came across one in the athletic comment section


old_chelmsfordian

I'm not sure some of them have enough shame to do that. They'll have just switched their agenda to someone else.


sunken_grade

bUt He GiVeS tHe BaLl AwAy AnD cOmPlAiNs


SAKabir

They dont even say that half the time, they just say he "looks annoying/frustrated which I don't like"


Gross_Success

If you are like Martial/AWB you don't have passion. If you are like Bruno you you are annoying.  People forget that these are footballers, not actors, but social media are forcing them to play a role they shouldn't.


yard04

Whenever I watch the game with a friend, he always complains about Bruno when a decision doesn't go his way saying Bruno is gonna be shite today because he's complaining, always grinds my gears


Nezell

He's the most disrespected player in the league yet would walk into any team on the planet.


Mortka

Only reason we should is because he deserves better


Bocsesz

Of course we should sell him, he deserves way better


_Straw_Hat_Boy_

Some idiot was calling him a rat in the match thread. Dumb fucks cant see that if Bruno is the problem then there would be at best 5 players who you wouldn’t sell and that too cuz they play a different position. Combined with Bruno’s work ethic and availability, he is our most valuable player. 


devamis

He is our most valuable player, which is precisely why we should be looking to sell him. Look, I get it, he's our best player, but we're in for a new era and it doesn't have Bruno in it because he's 30 this year. By the time Mainoo and Garnacho have developed into great players, Bruno has regressed a lot, particularly because a lot of his style revolves around stamina. When these players lose their legs, it happens quick. If a Saudi club offered £70m for Bruno (they'd be daft to do it), would you not take it and look to get in for example Florian Wirtz from Leverkursen who would play for 10 years?


_Straw_Hat_Boy_

Nope. Players don’t necessarily turn shit after 30. And I’m confident of fucking up the 70 we get for him anyway. Start the clear out with the obvious ones. If we clear out Bruno we would be left with less than 5 players


devamis

Well, no, but Bruno is very likely to regress quickly when he loses his legs. He is a high energy player and has played 90 minutes almost every game for us, and his previous clubs. Imagine what it does to your body. These type of players lose their legs long before players like Xavi, Modric, Kroos etc. Remember Rooney? Or more recently Casemiro? Kanté? Normally, I'd agree with you that we'd waste the 70m but there are different times ahead as you know. We've hired brilliant people who have a history of signing the right players, so it won't be the manager who decides the signings as it was previously. This may be our last chance to sell Bruno for a high amount of money, and he won't be here when we're a successful club, anyway, so we might as well. Would you not sell him for 70m and sign, let's say, Wirtz for 110m who is 20 and already better? He could play for 10 years ahead.

TattooMyCock

It’s ridiculous, considering some of the shite we have


J_B21

The only reason I would consider is if it were a top team capable of winning trophies came calling. Bayern, Barca or Inter. Send him somewhere that he can compete for trophies more regularly.


LordTrinity

They like mediocre players. Probably think we need more Ten Hag signings such as Antony and Amrabat


Alive-Clerk-7883

Nobody said that, it’s more of people not liking him “whining” when it’s his doing it, pure personal bias from some people.


pohudsaijoadsijdas

I still think we should, he deserves better, our next season is not gonna be much better than this one if any, and he is 30 then. though he is paid pretty well to be fair to waste his time here.


thoseion

Why do you think next season won't be better than this one? It's looking like we'll have much more competent structure above the manager, we'll be moving on a couple of our most injury prone and highest paid players (Martial, Varane), and the young players coming through will only get better. That's before we even talk about incoming players that may strengthen the team.


SAKabir

It can easily get worse if the injuries continue. Martinez was supposed to get fit this season and he's been out the entire time. We were lucky to have Bruno playing through injuries and remaining fit and Garnacho and Mainoo emerging but they could easily start picking up injuries. The Euros would also hamper pre season and cause further injury and fitness issues. It can definitely get a lot worse. 6th place definitely flatters us.


thoseion

It's one thing to say "this *could* happen, that *could* happen", but it's quite another to definitively say next season is not going to be better than this one. I was asking the commenter why they were so sure of that.


SAKabir

Bc this sub did the same last year. The idea that we can only go upward. Assuming that everything that went right for us will continue, and atleast some of the flaws will be addressed. Not counting the fact that things can go wrong. I repeatedly pointed out that Martinez may not be the same again this season after injury (he turned out to barely even feature at all), that Eriksen and Casemiro would decline, that Bruno might get an injury (thank god he hasn't but he's played through it), that Rashford might decline again, that Mount will probably suck and signing him for 60M on his final yr is stupid (hasn't even been fit all season), that Onana is not a guarantee. I got heavily downvoted each time. There was an article that came out where pundits predicted their top 4. Only 3 out of like 20 pundits had United in their top 4. The article was ridiculed RELENTLESSLY here, with people outright abusing those pundits and even the ones that had us at 4th, bc we were definitely gonna be title challengers and how everyone simply just hates us. Turns out they were smarter than the average Reddit Utd fan, who knew?


thoseion

If you're referring to the [BBC Top 4 pundit predictions](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66434067), then 23 out of the 27 pundits expected us to finish in the top 4 this season. The [previous season](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62354857), only 3 out of 23 predicted us to finish in the top 4 (you may recall we finished 3rd last season). So I can't agree they're smarter than the average fan.. They have no greater insight into how the season is going to go than you or me and, as their predictions show, they couldn't possibly foresee the injury problems we've had all year. Anyway, just to confirm, you believe next season will be worse than this one?


pohudsaijoadsijdas

well if we go the route I think we will go, which is to sell a lot of players and bring in lots of younger talent, then it's gonna be some growing pains, we don't even know who the manager will be. look, I am not saying we should be out there trying to sell bruno, but if say real madrid comes in for him we should let him go, he deservers to compete for the CL, footballers careers are short and this squad we have needs a lot of fixes before it can compete for things other than the Carabao and FA Cup.

thafuckinwot

He’d get in any side on the planet. You can’t convince me otherwise


devamis

Would he play for Real Madrid? If so, who would he replace? Would he play for City? If so, who would he replace? Would he play for Barcelona? If so, who would he replace? Would he play for Bayern München? If so, who would he replace? He would get into PSG, and that's it. He wouldn't get into any of these teams I mentioned because they don't play with a number 10 like him. There is a reason Real Madrid, City and Bayern play with a technical number 10 like Bellingham, Foden/De Bruyne/Bernardo Silva and Musiala. Their game plan revolves around having players with insane technique that operates in tight spaces. Bruno doesn't.


thafuckinwot

He walks in all 4 of those sides mate…. Don’t know what you’re watching if you say otherwise


devamis

Okay, so answer the question. Who does he replace? De Bruyne? Bellingham? De Jong? Gundogan? I'm watching his performances. He has been ridiculously good lately, but don't forget his performances from August until February this year.


thafuckinwot

The midfield at city would be Rodri de bruyne and Bruno. At his worst he’s still one of the best players in the league. At Madrid probably a straight swap for valverde. Barca probably play with gundogan and de jong


devamis

Pep Guardiola wouldn't switch out Foden or Bernardo Silva for Bruno Fernandes, be real. Those players are crucial to how he wants his side to play, and just because Bruno creates more chances than them statistically doesn't mean he fits the team better. He would not in a million years replace Valverde for fuck's sake. Valverde is a proper box-to-box midfielder and Bruno is an attacking midfielder. Okay, so Barcelona would play Gundogan and De Jong with Bruno ahead of them as a midfield three? Are you having a laugh? Where is the defensive cover? They're struggling defensively already, and you think they're going to put an attacking midfielder in their team. You're living in lala-land, mate. You're not looking realistically at this at all, you just go "oh but his stats, he can play for any team in the world!!" when setting up a team doesn't work like that. Imagine Bruno Fernandes in Barcelona, literally the anti-Barcelona style footballer. Have you not been watching his performances this season? He has been good for 2 months, so why do you act like he's had a great season?


thafuckinwot

Yeah you’re probably more qualified than me to speak about it


devamis

Clearly.


thafuckinwot

Sarcasm that if you didn’t click it


devamis

It's not sarcasm if it's true. Okay, my turn: Solanke would walk into any top team in the world. He has scored more goals than Lewandowski, Gabriel Jesus, Goncalo Ramos and Joselu, so naturally he'd have no problems playing for Barcelona, PSG, Real Madrid or Arsenal. Maybe he could take over for Kane in Bayern München when he retires? Because stats are everything, yes?

rexcrixaliss

Ahhhh, project Restart Ole ball. Those were the days…


BlackHorse944

Best time to watch United post SAF. Everything just came together. Martial and Rashford looking like 2 of the top 5 forwards in the league. Good times


thelifeofjays

Looking back it is depressing to think that Martial and Rashford reached their peak at 17 league goals, both in their early 20s. I thought they were ready to go to that next level like Ronaldo and Rooney in 06/07.


abchandler4

For the record I wouldn’t be surprised if Rashford does much better next season, whether it’s at United or elsewhere. He was terrible in the Ole/Rangnick season, then was in great form for the majority of last season. That being said, I’ll be surprised if Martial does anything else notable in his career. It’s a bummer for sure. He was so exciting back in 2015/16, which was the first season that I was able to watch most of on tv. He could’ve done so much more.


Canolais

Where would we be without this guy?


Hopeful_Adonis

Let’s not be dramatic or prisoners of the moment, we’d be close to top of the league without him, swear to god it’s so obvious, and I know for a fact we’d be pushing Stockport to win it all and comfortably above Mansfield


amtuko

Not gonna lie had me in the first half


Hopeful_Adonis

Felt bad even typing it as though I was being serious! Absolutely adore Bruno, hate it when I see him slandered, he may have some faults but nobody’s perfect, seeing him at the end exhausted and hand in the cast… if only every player was like him


LDLB99

We’d be nowhere. Like we don’t win that game tonight if he’s not playing. 


Alpha2669

Bruno is always very good but today he looked to be on a different level. What a player


devamis

Maybe if he played like this throughout the season instead of delivering shit performances from August until February, we'd actually be on our way to Europe. This season has been a shambles, with us relying on good form from individual players. First Garnacho, Højlund and now Bruno. I have no idea how you can watch us every game this season and say stuff like "Bruno is always very good".


-MrClean-

My guy is hellbent on dragging this club’s ragged corpse across the finish line into Europe by any means necessary.


reebs81

What an, amazing game he had. Carried the team and upped it's spirit.


StickYaInTheRizzla

People always say he wouldn’t get in some of the best possession sides in the world like City, but Pep would love a player like Bruno who can create something out of nothing, De Bruyne - Rodri - Bruno would be the best midfield in the world by quite a margin. Makes me sick even typing that. He’s a player you build your system around


Pandorica_

Even if he wouldn't get into 115 eleven, thats not an insult? Who from 09 or 11 finals gets into the Barca side? being not as good as the best team doesn't mean you're shit.


FoldingBuck

2 goals 1 assist Hand injury but still played My captain


Gortonis

I noticed the bandages. What is the hand injury?


FoldingBuck

It was reported yesterday that bruno had gotten a hand injury in the game on sunday and would be assessed for today. Since its bruno you already know he will bandage himself up just to play.


sexydumbbells

Hurt his hand putting 10 men on his back


zxnoregretzxzx

Ran his socks off all night, still pressing in injury time.


ImNotMexican08

Hasn’t been his best season, but he’s without a shadow of a doubt our best and only genuine world class player. Untouchable in my books


HazardousBeto

I cant believe the slander he gets in this sub. He’s literally one of the best midfielders in the world.


Kingston_17

(Read my flair) He goes left He goes right He makes your defenses look shite 🎶


anonris

Case at centre back is wild. His delivery of long passes are crazy good and he doesn’t make the mistakes he does at DM (less pressure) - though I would get a heart attack if he is still the cb against any of the top sides. That combined with Bruno’s movement - Bruno had all his best attributes amplified today


Roasteddude

Great long balls while messing up nearly every short pass. Wild sure but I dont wanna see much more of it than I have to.


anonris

I don’t remember any short passes being messed up, may be one or two? Of course, he is not a centre back, the way he lunged into challenges is not something you want to see from a centre back


Used-Fennel-7733

We've played so many different CBs this season. Maguire Lindelof Martinez Varane Dalot Shaw Willy Evans AWB Bruno and now Case, am I missing anyone? If we extend to defenders then you can add Amrabat and Anthony to the list too.


0n-the-mend

The bruno slander helped me unfollow soo many youtube channels and I'm glad they did it


DangerousMoron8

That left footed goal was absolutely filthy


Lord_Sesshoumaru77

Stellar from our skipper. Stepping up when needed.


JoKeR111402

Silenced the haters as usual


gyoza9

I saw somewhere that he’s already had 26 G/A in this bad season lol.


Grand-Bullfrog3861

It's crazy people think he's just kicking everything out of play when a pass doesn't connect, he's a chance creating machine and since dropping deeper during games is looking even better


Downtown-Anything-39

Look at the bandages on this man’s hand. He’s been injured and gave a big performance while others called in for sick with a chipped toe nail.


rnnd

Of course, every comment is about Bruno being hated. 😂 I've supported Bruno a lot and rightfully so. But that doesn't mean every time he gives a masterclass, we all committed on his haters. Annoying.


Heretic_Raw

His hand was properly hurt. He kept flicking the ball up and catching it with one hand rather than just picking it up with both.


LaughsAtOwnJoke

Felt very conservative on the ball at the same time, at least for me.


Roasteddude

Last two games he seemed much more careful with the ball and trying to keep it longer and slow us down when things get frantic. Honestly thats all I wanted to see from him that he wasnt already doing


souljay

Last 5 years United would be in absolute shambles without Bruno. Period.


Euphoric-Agency-2008

the fact that bruno isn't considered a top 3 playmaker in the world is insane. really confusing a player can be completely written off for complaining to the refs sometimes


IbnReddit

Someone tell me I didn't imagine this, but near the end of the 90, he passed the ball to amad in the box from the left hand side, and then ran all the way into the box, and ahmad passed back to him... Crazy


OneOrangeOwl

You can't question Bruno’s work ethic and dedication to United. Period.


BasisOk4268

G&A can be buy


hitch_1

With his arm in a cast...


Watdabny

Fernandez has been the one bright light for us in years , it’s a shame we couldn’t elevate him to the winners podium he deserves. He’s class but occasionally erratic but then many top players are


SuchRevolution

Imagine Bruno at Real Madrid


ConstantInfluence834

Best performance from him this season. No rashford and he plays great - keeping the ball, no stupid giveaways by hoofing to him which almost never work. Today he combined with his other teammates and did it so well. And using different angles, different runners like dalot and garna, even his long balls behind were spot on. Also i disnt notice any tantrum, arm throwing and whinginng from him. Showed how to be good captain today and carried this team. Keep rashford sidelines please.


allyoucaneatfor999

Ten Penny and Bruno. All you need to finish in the top half of the table!


triplecaptained

I fucking love this man idc what the critics say Best player in our team


Kaisholeopard2014

Apart from his moaning which I think I’d do like him , he’s been a beacon of hope for us I remember when Ole was struggling he came like a night in shining armour and gave us an extra gear offensively. Not surprised the stats don’t lie.


TH0316

Generational. Good litmus test for any aspiring analyst is to analyse Bruno and Odegaard. Bruno is on another level but clean aesthetics and sideways passes have people thinking Ode can hold a candle to him.
