Part of Bruno post match reported interview transcript. Can anyone confirm this is accurate?

Interviewer: "Do you, as a group, have confidence that you can work as a team and solve the problems that you need to out there? "
Bruno: "Of course you can, but it's the decision from the staff to not press man-to-man, and sometimes leave a little bit of space in behind and trying to get the ball in the first moment - to wait for them, to give them the ball.
But sometimes when you give too much the ball to these teams, they get confident, you know. They have so many bodies behind the ball that make you run a lot, make people get frustrated.
And then, obviously, when you recover the ball, the legs and the brain are much more difficult to make it work."
Interviewer: "On that, then, do you feel like tactically, it was wrong tonight? You made the decision not to press, and that's what hurt you in the end? "
Bruno: "That's on the manager and on the staff to see it, it's not on me."

That is possibly worse than Martinez.

It's called the truth.

Going to be a bit positive, midfield was better, play was better, defending was a bit better and the players worked all an improvement all be it from a very threshold. Maguire did well today, but that the back 3 system suiting his abilities. I though put bigger issue today was Bruno again, was ahead of Mbeumo trying to press their keeper alone, they had 3 options each time, then he is bye passed and left us exposed.

Baleba and Santos worked okay today too. We had some very good spells of play today but gave up a very poor goal from another set piece play. Bruno is a problem at the moment, not playing to his normal high standards. Tielmans is performing better than him currently l still don't think can facilitate both playing together. Only time will tell if Carrick get more time but the coming fixtures are all difficult.

I wonder what score we'll win today.

18 Oct 2026 17:03:18
Clearly not and if you watched the game today the quality was very poor and we come away happy with a Draw .

We seriously need a striker

Everyone moans about McGuire but he was probably how best player today, Baleba and Santos did not do much as ball went over there head back and forth

Going to be a long season if we make top 6 be good season that's what we have become.

18 Oct 2026 18:55:45
We didn't come away happy with a draw.

Compare the respective body language of the players at the end.

Leeds were delighted.

Oh leave off how many actual goal scoring chances were there for either side, Carrick could have gone for it on 60 mins but waited till 83rd minute to bring an attacker on, so clearly he was happy with a point.
Poor game, if you think that was good or anywhere near required standard well we have gone lower than a snakes belly.

Hilarious Kenneth 🤭.

Lisandro Martinez has been crap this season and at fault again tonight but if his after match quotes are real then he just called out the board and Wilcox for not backing carrick enough? Wow he's right but total meltdown. Clubs a shambles.

14 Oct 2026 08:04:32
I mean he called out the board but let's face it he's been terrible this season. Given away goals and has been on the physio table more than the pitch last few seasons.

13 Oct 2026 18:12:57
I fear for us tonight. Play anything like we have recently and Athletico will tear us a new one.

13 Oct 2026 20:14:43
Didn't take long did it. Dalot and Martinez are f******awful.

13 Oct 2026 20:50:14
CATW!

13 Oct 2026 13:27:49
Need an energetic team tonight, if bruno is carrying a knock leve him on the bench. Heaven in for Maguire. Baleba, Mount and Mainoo or Santos in a midfield 3, Cuhna, Zirkzee and Mbeumo.

13 Oct 2026 18:26:54
I'd go
Lammens,
Yoro, heaven, Martinez, amass,
Baleba, Santos,
Lacey, Bruno, Mbuemo,
Cunha.

13 Oct 2026 11:10:43
Teams for tonight, we need lots of energy on the pitch.

10 Oct 2026 19:36:05
So sick and tired of this team.

Never seen such a mentally weak bunch of players in my life. This is the 3rd or 4th time they've been unable to beat 10 men.

And the first 45 mins were a disgrace. Like watching a bunch of over-50s play walking football.

This isn't all based on tonight's game, but whoever thinks Lammens is the long-term answer in goal needs to give their head a wobble. He's a below average keeper, and only gets praise as he's better than onana.

Tielmans shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11. Lost count of the amount of times he's been caught sleeping on the ball this season.

Mainoo is good and cunha puts a shift in. But that's about it.

This bunch of empty shirts will get destroyed in midweek against Madrid and probably by Leeds too.

Very sad to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't pick up a win before the next international break.

10 Oct 2026 19:57:31
Disagree re Lammens.

10 Oct 2026 20:43:13
I know people will disagree on the keeper. But he's not top level and nowhere near it. He can't pass a ball to save his life. And he's the start of slowing everything down. Watch him over the next few games, he hardly ever makes a quick pass, it's always standing on the ball for what feels like an eternity until somebody finally closes him down at which point he passes to a centre back, and sometimes messes up that simple pass.

And he does seem to let a lot of goals in where he just stands there and watches it go in. I know he wouldn't save a lot of those goals, but I know he won't save any just by watching them.

12 Oct 2026 14:57:29
Lammens reminds me of kelleher a lot being Irish.
Are they both good keepers yes but I'm underwhelmed every time I see them.

10 Oct 2026 19:31:31
Bruno was a disgrace today.

Our best player and leader, but at the moment his head is else where. Two minutes to go he hits the ball in the air, it's still dropping within 5m of him and he is more interested in moaning and looking around, rather than winning the ball and driving the team forward.

For the Captain and our best player that is unacceptable, he needs to be dropped and sit on the bench until he decides to be a United player again.

Well, Baleba played for the first team today, a behind closed doors friendly against Lausanne-Sport (SJRs team from Switzerland).

Hopefully, all OK and we see him against Spurs next weekend.
