Bruno’s pass to Ronaldo last season against Young Boys was better.

Bruno is not in a good form at the moment but we cannot pretend to forget he had plenty of good games for the club.

Baba, make we dey talk truth - Bruno has NEVER been as good as KDB and there shouldn't even have been any basis for comparison.

The Belgian has arguably been the best midfielder in the world for about 3 - 4 years now.

He has been largely underated!!

When Bruno was in his element, he was easily our best player for close to 2 years.

Infact, I will argue that the best in EPL then in his position, so it's normal he was compared to KDB.

Bruno has never been United best player talkless of being the best in the league. He was massively overrated by clowns who were deserved with his stat padding and Gloryballs. Anybody with eyes could tell he was a bang average dimwits with no talent except taking penalties.

This is a big fat lie.

KDB has never been underated since he left Chelsea and yes, Bruno was at his level when he newly arrived.

You've never liked Bruno in the first place.

I curse Bruno in almost every match now but I can't suddenly develop selective amnesia to his brilliancies when he newly arrived.

You can flog Bruno for not doing it as consistently as KDB(that’s a valid argument) but to say Bruno cannot attempt this kind of pass or doesn’t have the talent to make such a pass is unfair.

He’s very capable of it but do we even have the players that would make the run and not stray offside? Sometimes, the pass is as important as the recipient making the run and converting it.

This was the Bruno pass to Ronaldo. It took 7 defenders out of the game completely.

Of course, he’s gone but the effect of his poor management is still there and they are taking a lot of time to erase. Maguire, Shaw and AWB are still at the club and it doesn’t seem they would leave anytime soon.

Ole spent £130m on Maguire and AWB. Just think about that for a second. Close your eyes and think about how many world class defenders United could have gotten with that amount of money.
Who scouted Maguire? Ole is a manager not a scout. We had defensive issues before he came, Lindelof was our only ball playing defender that could stay fit. Who negotiated the transfer? Again Ole is a manager not a negotiator. He would only give the green light to try and sign Maguire as he fits into what the team needed at the time. Y'all talking about Maguire like he wasn't bossing it at Leicester and didn't win their player of the season before we signed him.
Woodward and the people he appointed are responsible for scouting players and negotiating for it, and they have done a really bad job at it ... Which is why they're receiving all the anger they're currently getting. Their incompetence was second to none. Hadn't we already spent like £900m+ before Ole came with nothing to show for it?

Why did Ole(who raved and ranted about modern attacking football) play Maguire in a high line defensive system knowing fully well Maguire does not have the pace to recover from a turnover?

Maguire was bossing it at Leicester but that was Leicester who preferred the low block system to compensate for the lack of pace of Evans/Maguire. Ole wants to play like Liverpool or City with a centre half that has zero pace? cheesy grin

Maguire did play relatively well under Ole. Sergio Ramos would not fare better if he had McFred as shield.

Anyway, Maguire is a pretty good player. He's won player of the season at Sheffield, Hull, and Leicester. He's good with the ball, good in the air, commands his box, and tackles well.
You'll still see ETH use him as first choice CB.

He isn't worth £80m though, cos he's prone to stupid mistakes, but not bad.

Maguire was rubbish under Ole. He was totally useless and that was mainly because of how Ole set his team up.

Brilliance lol. Bruno now is the same Bruno as at when he first arrived the club. He didn't change or drop form. The same useless player who lost countless balls,can't dribble, terrible when pressed with zero technical ability. What particular ability do you think Bruno posses then that he suddenly lost ? Am really curious to know . Stat padding with penalties and an inform Martial/ Rashford was helping the idiot.

Both, bros!!

That anticipation, vision, technique and tactical intelligence...all combined, wey I dey see consistently for the past 4 years thereabout have been unrivaled.

If his name was De Bruynaldo playing for Real Madrid, he would probably have won the Balon dor at least twice.

I repeat - I think he has to be a strong contender for the most underated player of his generation.

Might be your opinion but, KDB has never been underated.

To gain world recognition, you show yourself against world's best, its the reason Salah is a better player than Kane, even though that's not the case on paper.

Where was KDB against Chelsea in UCL final, where was he when Modric and Camavinga played against City?

No be to dey drop world class performance against Newcastle and a washed up United team.

The only thing KDB has over Bruno is consistency and it’s easy to be consistent in a side as good as Man City.

KDB’s team mates, KDB’s manager, etc are all top of the shelf athletes. They know when he’s on the ball, he expects them to time their runs intelligently to receive.

At United, Bruno is essentially playing with Ronaldo and 9 zombies. Rashford wouldn’t have made that run Ronaldo made to connect with the Bruno pass.

And without that run, you would have criticized Bruno for passing into a box without any United player and then conclude he was wasteful.

I don’t know what’s funnier between you defending Maguire or thinking a player of the season at Sheffield, Hull and Leicester is good enough for Man Utd.

Maguire has 4 relegations in his CV.

He’s dog-shit.

He was dispossessed in a dangerous position. That was what led to the goal. The commentators even mentioned it.

3 of his assist were nominated for UCL group stage best assist. The same player was accused of providing only sideways assist.

And he is the first player playing for an English side to provide an assist in 6 consecutive games.

Bruno was very very good when he first joined the PL.

I cannot think of any January signing that hit the ground running like Bruno.

He won 4 player of the month awards in 2020.

His pocket was picked like Mendy’s pocket was picked today.

I don’t know what he was doing there but that’s poor judgement from him. As the last man, you don’t want to dally too much while in possession.

If there’s no player to receive the ball, just hoof it out of touch and shout at the team mates. If he comes to United, he has to be aware that the tempo in the PL is even faster than La Liga.
