Apparently, the club has no intention of punishing Bruno for his comments.
Results and performances on the pitch have been embarrassing for a while now, but for players to come out and criticize the club's management in consecutive weeks only to be back in the starting lineup a few days later is beyond a joke and indicative of just how far standards have slipped over the past decade or so.
SAF would have dropped these players for their poor performances long before we ever got to this point, but if anyone ever pulled anything like this, they'd never play for the club again.

Terrible but also really does show the mess we are in that players are now coming out and publicly expressing opinions. Something is deeply wrong with the culture.

Carrick is a problem, but Bruno is also a huge problem.
I am personally tired of seeing Bruno, maguire and shaw season after season after season.
I feel we play better as a team without Bruno. And was personally happy carrick subbed him.
If I was carrick I'd sub Bruno at half time or 30 mins the next game. The guy always cries let him cry more.
I'd give carrick more time and stop playing Bruno if he knows better than the manager. I do not think lacey would be worse than our current forwards.
What is up with Cunha and Carrick?
Zirkzee as a striker looks miles better than our false 9s. I agree that he's not the best player out there, but I'd personally give the guy a run of 4-5 games to get into some rhythm or momentum.

I think Bruno has become a problem rather than always being one. The state of the club has broken him I feel and the perpetual promises of an improved team around him have finally taken their toll.
The problem is that the clear out has never really happened and now we are faced with shifting pretty much a whole team.
2028 is a pipe dream as were the many mentioned 2-3 year plans that people clung onto.
It's a cluster of the biggest variety.

People talk about the state of the club, but for me, the biggest problem is the dressing room culture.
Players are not prepared to fight for the badge. They don't run, and the second things start going against them they throw in the towel. Now, they're publicly blaming the management and owners rather than taking some accountability for their god awful performances.
Don't get me wrong, I know that the owners are leeches, and I don't think that Carrick has what it takes to be a top Premier League manager. But these players have no pride, no passion, and no hope in hell of winning anything unless there's a drastic attitude adjustment.
Carrick and the club need to be stronger. Allowing players to make comments like the ones we've heard over the past week or so is about as spineless as it gets. They may as well be agreeing with them.
If it were me, I'd get rid of the lot of them and play the under 21s instead. They might get us relegated, but at least they'd play for the badge.

Surely they have to punish him in some form?? They fined Martinez the week before for the same thing? Or does it only count when u call out Wilcox?!

I remember RvN last season at the club. Louis Saha was chosen to play over him, as the team played better with Saha up top, rather than RvN.
The team played better football, as opposed to directly playing to RvN, becoming predictable. The summer transfer window opened up, United sold RvN. I great player, but his time was up.
Every club need to make those difficult choices. Imagine if Bruno sold last summer. The club could have bought 2-3 new players.
