Serious question here? Keen to know what's people's thoughts are should Bruno be left out of the starting lineup for a few games? he's been poor this season and his attitude hasn't been great in terms of how he's dealing with things on the pitch.
For me I'd leave him out, try to build a solid base for a few games and go from there. I know he's our best player but he isn't playing like it and sometimes Its addition by subtraction.

If you take Bruno out we might as well just give up, you don't take your best player out of any team, what to have Teilemans or Mount in, that's utter ridiculous rubbish.
No he ain't had a great start to the season but who has? Every player in this team been woeful including Carrick and the coaching team. Mbuemo been poor needs 6 goes for. 1 goal, Cunha what's he done 1 assist all season, Martinez made lots of mistakes, even Lammens made his fair share, midfield been non existent and we take our only truly great player out of the team! I heard it all now, but of course RedMan will agree with you.

For me yes. I never really liked him so much. I don't think its bad only now. He creates a lot of low probability chances, but if you always give the ball to attackers some of them balls will become goals.
Not big deal.
I think he is a liability. Part of the problem we are not very solid and lose the ball so much. It reminds me Gerrard, when his coach took him from the center because as great as he was he was tactically bad.

Heaven,
"If you always give the balls to attackers so lf them will become goals". I mean that's literally what an assist is. He hasn't been great so far this season (he often starts slowly) but to suggest he's always been bad is madness, he's been brilliant for us. If it's that easy to create chances I'm sure his assist record will be broken pretty soon.

That's not my point. Sometimes you see a pass or play a good pass. Bruno is trying to make things happen, to create chaos amd chance after chance even if each chance has low probability of scoring.
Throw this process you can have a lot of assists. I know very well that his chance creation last year was of low quality chances, yet he broke the record. Asist is a very overrated metric, means nothing a lot of times it depends on attackers to score the goal.
So if there is a period in which attackers scores even half chances then you will have a lot if assists.
Do you remember the "super creative" Pogba having 4 assists in one match (against Leeds;) and 6-7 in his first 4 games ; People think back then it means something, he is going to break the record. But It means nothing and guess how much assists he had overall the same season.

That's comedy gold right there.
18 Oct 2026 23:09:15
Think we're overlooking the fact Bruno isn't no where near fit Definetly carrying something yet still plays full 90 every week.
18 Oct 2026 23:11:18
Keefy you can just express your opinion. Its not like you own or know the only truth andf everyone else opinion is comedy. I told my arguments (reasonings) many times, if you want oppose them. If not scroll down if you may.
You know i am at exactly the opposite side, i don't understand people that watch United so many years and don't see that this headless chicken is part of the problem. But i try not to insult someone, try to do the same.

Last couple of games it seems that carrick has tweaked the system a bit and is trying to find a more solid midfield combo. As a result Bruno is being played out of position and is being shoehorned in just so he starts, just thought it might be wiser to leave him out a bit and start someone else in their preferred position.
If he's carrying a knock then there's even more reason to do that. Not saying I'm right was just an opinion and I get where others who disagree, are coming from.
18 Oct 2026 23:36:04
Insult? Okay.
Bruno whilst perhaps not ideal is the best thing we have had for a number of years. Chances created/attempted means goals. Of course it is a subjective metric but it's the people putting it in the net we have been lacking.
GDS hit the nail on the head.
Don't be so easily offended if someone disagrees or you will have a hard time of it on here!

He remians our best post-Fergie, which isn't in itself a reason to keep picking him, but I don't see anyone else with a shred of his creativity or ability to turn a game with one second. Until there's a better option or he's unable to walk I'd keep him in.
19 Oct 2026 12:53:52
Thats your opinion Keefy and i respect that. I completetly disagree ofcourse. While he is an excelent technically-wise footballer with great vision, he is better suited to street football.
I don't think he is good at pressing, not a smart presser. He doesn't make the team tick, like for example the great David Silva did. He is not effective in crowded places and very often, when against low blocks, instead of hold his position and make a small dribble to open the opponent defence, he goes wide to just make crosses.
Ofcourse he was always too slow to play for a high energy press team like Klops team of Peps.
The only argument is about numbers-i don't think numbers is only about ability. It is about role also. Put even Tielemans there, with the clear role to be our creator, and he will have similar numbers, maybe a little less, but with highest probability.

And don't get me started about his character. I can't understand how you like such a moaner. Yesterday alone he went 3 times in Referres ears without any reason.
19 Oct 2026 13:43:31
I agree that he has to play but he's a whinging person!
I can't bear his constant throwing his hands in the air antics and running over at the referee and constantly complaining.
It drives me insane, grow up and concentrate on the game!
19 Oct 2026 18:22:41
Rooney used to be forever running over and complaining to the referee, strange how people see things to there own narrative.
19 Oct 2026 18:50:59
Ofcourse you will say what you want Je Suis, but i had problem with Rooney too, although he was twice the player Bruno is and maybe the best teenager i have ever seen. I have problem with every player, even the ones i like, going like headless chickens at referres without reason.
I think its part of the problem with bad reffering, always pressuring them to give them something. Otherwise its not good for the team the constant moaning and nerves they bring.
19 Oct 2026 20:11:56
Only thing you said that makes sense is poor standard of refereeing
Messi did not stop in the referees ear too, it's football culture it's not right, but to not like a player because of it. Well means not many players you do like.
19 Oct 2026 22:38:27
At least i had one right. You have one too, i can't stant a lot of players, moaners mainly.
