TheLequte:
Given that he featured in 35 games last season I’m tempted to say Tielemans will be the one to rotate with Santos. He just turned 29 too, so maybe we’ll get 3 years from him.

My concern is the defensive aspect of our midfield. None of the current profiles offers that solid defensive presence and shield. I’m only hoping their technicality will help us keep the ball for longer when we’re ahead so we don’t fall prey to undue pressure.

I agree we still need to buy a number 6 and a few other quality signings. Tielemans and Santos raises the floor but we’ve only just replaced two departures in Casemiro and Ugarte. There’s loads of games to play next season, the squad is still scanty.

I’m happy for the additions tho.

We need one more midfielder preferably a sitting 6. Although i can see that Carrick has successfully converted Mount to a CM.

afrodoc:
We should have bought him years ago. He is 29yrs old now but for the fee being reported it is not a bad deal in isolation. The issue is that we still need a no 6.

Mainoo has to sit up. The 2 new additions might be competing with him for minutes especially if we go on and get a proper no 6.

I believe the club knows this. They must have someone in mind that they want to buy even though the list of obvious options keeps shrinking by the day.

Excellent.

Although If we don’t get Another 6 Mainoo will play there, he was the 6 in the pivot with him and Case.

Carrick seem to like Mainoo though, he might request for another Hybrid MF.

But you see am very clearly na Sitting 6 we actually need now.

At this rate, All our remaining players for World cup should start coming back. This is a cursed World cup for us

Bombblacks:
You are completely contradicting yourself. You pointed out that United went eight years without a title before Bruno arrived as a way to excuse him so by that logic, how many trophies and World Cups did Portugal win before Ronaldo?

Bruno is not the GOAT, Ronaldo claimed he is

nitrogen:
Comrade, no problem. We Dey wait Bruno this season. He should not think that set piece assists will save him again. We gather dey wait.

And Martinez as well.

Even if Bruno like let him use nyash to assist e no concern me. Bruno delivered 21 assists last season which is actaually an all time record. If Lammens and the defence give us 21 clean sheets, and at least 2 of our strikers scored 21 goals each. We will win the league. Roy Keane won the things he won with us becuase Scheimichel was breaking clean sheet rexords, Jaap Stam, Bruce, Pallister, Irwin were there. And Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke and Van Nistelrooy were banging in goals. Let Brunos team mates do the same too then you can judge him. He fulfilled his own side of the bargain.

The last season that Ronaldo won the EPL Van der sar broke the all time Clean Sheet record and minutes without conceeding, he didnt have Onana leaking goals like Basket. The only UCL he won with us, he missed the crucial penalty in the Shoot out until Luck from Terry and Van der Sar bailed him out.

So next season Bruno will surely perform to his usual WC standards again. How he got his assists no really concern me

nitrogen:
You better calm down. Bruno sef no defend himself reach this level. He deactivated his instagram because he knows that the Portuguese midfield messed up big time, and the comments got to him.

Shey he is not the face of Portugal, he should go and win Euros and WC now. While he is at it, he must record good success at Utd. No excuses any more.

Roy Keane’s comments on Bruno actually make sense.

Yeah Portuguese fans threatening his family was thw reason he deactivated, or you endorse it?

That one concern you. Roy Keane wey don apologise to Bruno?

Nobody made bruno the face of portugal, person wey una say e no sabi how will he be the face? 😂😂😂


Man utd have not won any title 8 years before Bruno came after fergie retired. So the one he has won is what he can offer for now, if he wins another title or UCL good. When Ronaldo returned to Man utd without Fergie, what did he win?

While at that Ronaldo should present us his WC trophy

nitrogen:
That short boy called Martinez also needs to be called out. They give their all for their national teams but less to the club that pays them weekly.

Na that Martinez i dey wait for. Make him get small injury next season na Satan go pu.nish am. Gives everything for Argentina, comes back play for 2 weeks, drag people hair suspended for 3 weeks, return score own goal, thwn go for 9 months injury werey

Ellexy:
E say na sliver boot 👢
So for the record, the 1 time he won top scorer in a tournament was just 3 goals and in Nations league

💀💀💀💀

Lol.

Ellexy:
And how many times Ronaldo don assist Bruno? No be him mate Messi dey run play for his teammates in Argentina whenever the going gets tough? Instead this one go dey hide inside penalty box looking for tap in and who to blame...

Against Egypt messi was everywhere connwcting passes Scoring bangers and assisting goals. But Mr finished goat na to sit down for inside 18 yard box de wait for empty net to score.

obonujoker:
Sha, win trophy... You can't be here 6 years and win 1 carabao cup.

You forgot he also won FA cup.

Meanwhile when Ronaldo returned why didnt he win anything? Anything Ronado won for us was due to Fergie

obonujoker:
How many times your Bruno don assists Ronaldo since they started playing together... No be just 6 times?

So how did Bruno help Ronaldo... Ronaldo is already a GOAT.

Instead make you pray may Bruno play week this coming season, you dey cap here 😂😂😂

😂😂🤣GOAT without World Cup

Why will i pray for something that is sure, Bruno playing well for Man utd is as sure as anything.

Ellexy:
2 bold faced lies. Ronaldo fans brutalized Bruno Fernandes he had to lock his social media pages, they proceeded to attack his wife and wished he died instead of Jota. Is like you're living under a rock or maybe pretending to live under one but you can't deny the toxicity of Ronaldo fans.

Next, how can you say Bruno Fernandes is the fave of the Portugal team WHEN Ronaldo the captain and legend is there? Are you high or what? What sort of lie is that...well you guys are known to be insincere, I'm not even surprised.

Team don fail now, Bruno don become face, who was the faces of the previous failed WC attenpts by Ronaldo? 😂

obonujoker:
BigCee you were the ones saying Bruno is the new face of the team... So why don't y'all want him to take the criticism.

Or has Ronaldo not been criticised from 2006?? Was Messi not criticised till he ran away from the national team??

🤣🤣😂
Na you and who anoint Bruno face of the team. Pendu should first retire then we go know who be face. As una say Bruno no sabi, make una find another face of the team.

Ellexy:
6 World Cups
6 Euros
3 Nations league
1 Confederations Cup
2004 Olympics.

goat una.

And he didnt even win Player of the torunament in any of them. Even Okocha and Ekong don collect MVP for AFCON but GOAT no fit carry tournament MVP in about 20 international tournaments he participated in.

obonujoker:
Make we reach 1000 goals first...😂

Lols after stat padding with plumbers and farmers in Saudi league abi?
And begging Bruno andco to help him stat pad against Uzbekistan 😃😃😃😃. The one they helped him stat pad agaisnt the likes of Luxemburg, Andorra, Faroe Islands, Kosoko, San Marino and Luthiania don do, he should go and retire.

obonujoker:
Omo none is dragging Bruno for Ronaldo... Bruno is dragged because he's the Face of the team, and he didn't do his job properly.

Moreover, Bruno always had the propensity to undermine the club's legend.

Can you explain why Nuno Mendes would be creating more chances than Bruno?

Undermine club legend? Because he refused to asslick him and pass only to him? Bruno respects Ronaldo, but he wont worship and its good like that.

Bruno is the face of the team, but there are 2 back to back UCL winners in the same midfield with him 😃😃😃. When the team performs its Ronaldo but when they underperformed, Bruno becomes the face of the team 😃😃😃

Ellexy:
Is he the only one that underwhelmed? The whole team underwhelmed but so called United fans singled out their captain to troll because of one expired striker. The person they're dragging the club captain for is not even a United player.

41 year old finished Pendu, looking for who to blame.

The 3 world cups he played in before Bruno started playing for Portugal 🇵🇹
-2006 his only goal was a pity penalty against Iran in the group stage.
- 2010 his only goal came against North Korea 🇰🇵 in a 7-0 demolition.
- 2014- His only goal came against Ghana . And Portugal crashed out of the Group stages.

Infact apart from the goals against Spain in 2018 WC, and the pity Penalty he scored against Croatia this year. Ronaldo has not scored any goal against any European or SouthAmerican team in the WC. O yes but lets blame his teammates for his failure to perform in the WC

odizeey:
The GOAT is undisputed no matter what they say

.

Ofcourse anybody wey never win WC, make nobody bring GOAT talk near that person

odizeey:
You for talk say na Ronaldo matter carry you come here. No be to dey disguise say them dey curse Bruno and in essence using it to insult United fans.

You have been casted.

I am talking about Man United fans who insult Bruno because he could not help their GOAT match up to messi. Those are the man utd fans i am talking about.

obonujoker:
Winning Saudi League is nothing .. what about winning MLS?

This Bruno you dey support, show me any league title he has one....

And can you tell me how Ronaldo is dragging his team back?? Was he missing goals, did he miss chances etc as the top striker?

I really want to know

Nobody is here praising MLS. Messi has proven his still WC at the biggest stage. Ronaldo has shown he is finished. He is dragging his team back by standing like a statue in attack expecting others to supply only him.


Yes Bruno has not won a league title just like Gerrard. We know the quality he has been playing with. Only Ronaldo fans will ever bash Bruno because he didnt carry him to win WC forgetting that Ronaldo has ghosted in all the WCs he played in even before Bruno started playing for Portugal

Jamiuokolaa:
GOAT o, RAM o, that one na your business, nobody is interested.

We trust that our captain would put behind the disappointments of the WC behind him and continue from where he stopped last season.

Excellent and this is where i stand

odizeey:
Uzbekistan is a team ranked above Congo in FIFA rankings.

If you didn't watch the world cup then drop your phone.

There were many instances were Portuguese midfielders decided to pass back instead of passing to Ronaldo who was open.

If Ronaldo was missing chances and doing nonsense, that would have been a different case. That is why people are angry with those guys. Ronaldo even had to go defend some times to help the team.

I thought you were against people bashing Bruno. I no know say na Ronaldo own dey pain you.

I give no toss about whatever Portugal played in the world cup i am a proud Nigerian 🇳🇬 not a portuguese.

You are blaming others for not passing to Ronaldo lol. A 41 year old non mobile finished player? Someone that even the Cape verde GK Vozhina completed more successful dribble than? 😃😃😃😃. So why ddint Ronaldo pass to others to score?



I do not bloody care where Uzbeskistan is ranked by FIFA they keep donating points and goals to every team they played, just like other Asian teams like Iraq, Jordan and co. Imagine the useless team you want Ronaldo to stat pad against when his mates are scoring against proper teams. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃. Oga go and tell Ronaldo to retire he is finished he is never reaching Messi’s level

Jamiuokolaa:
Bruno Fernandes performed sub optimally at the WC. Whatever reasons you attribute it to is entirely your business. If you feel triggered about the truth, that's your cup of tea - nobody cares!

You are trying desperately to bring in a Ronaldo debate here and as you have observed, I am not interested.

Our captain should dust himself up and recharge his batteries after his disappointing WC campaign - We need the Bruno Fernandes of last season and not that of the WC!

Like i said, 41 year old finished GOAT and his toxic fan base are frustrated so are looking for who to blame for his inability to win or perform in the 6 world cup tournaments he played in. You can keep insulting Bruno all you want, he is Man utd captain and the real united fans has blbo business with what happened in Portugal 🇵🇹 the ones interested in that are Ronaldo fan biys that cant just admit that he is below Messi.

obonujoker:
You dey talk of Messi wey no win till FIFA help in 2022?

When Messi fans paralyse Higuain, where you dey??

Moreover, Ronaldo was never under Messi shadow for 20 years.... The same Ronaldo wey first Messi win international trophy?

Dey play.

Hopefully though Bruno steps us because he never win nada with UTd

Lol 😂 Fifa help Messi win World cup? 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 Same Fifa that awarded Mbappe 2 penalties in the final?
So na FIFA say make Morroco comot portugal abi?
First to win no mean anything, the issue is how many you win and which one you win. Where is Your Pendus world cup trophy first. He has been under Messi for as long as their competition started, its only you Ronaldo fans that cant see it


As for Bruno, he has stepped up and won the one his power reach to win. Football is a team sports if he played during fergies period just like Ronaldo he would have won more trophies 🏆. Leave him alone, he is not the reason why Messi is disgracing him for years now.

obonujoker:
This Bruno wey you dey support and castigate Ronaldo for, e don do half of wetin Cristiano do in this Man Utd?

Which Ronaldo? Before Ronaldo Man utd has been winning trophies back to back when he left under Fergie we continued winning and even made UCL final. So he is nothing special.

Same Ronaldo that immediately Fergie helped him to stardom, he started protesting about going to Madrid, he even said we are holding him like a slave. After many years of him and his greedy agent always using us to get bigger contracts he tried going to City until Woodward brought him back, he came back and destroyed the dressing room with his toxicity, Same Ronaldo that scored against us when he was at Juve and was showing us his 6 packs.

The small trophies Bruno helped us to win i am ok with it, he was there at our lowest point, and gave his all. When Ronaldo came back, why didn’t he win a trophy? Trophy wey Fergie don de gather tey tey you wan attribute am to your Pendu? Abeg go and sit down

obonujoker:
Please no be the same Martinez win Nations league last year with Ronaldo and everyone playing?

No be the same Ronaldo won the league with Al Nassr with other players?

Please how did Ronaldo stop other players from shining... Because when they played Uzbekistan, other players shined too...

But truly, as a coach I would have started Ronaldo from the bench, and truly Bruno flopped hard at this WC

If you didn’t see that Ronaldo is now past it my brother then i cant help it. Uzbeskistan is a shi.t team, even Zimbabwe will beat them. I think FIFA should reduce Asian slot at the world cup, they are the whipping boys of the tournament.

Winning Saudi league is nothing. Ronaldo is finished and he is dragging the team back

Jamiuokolaa:
He performed below his normally high UTD standards at the worldcup and it has been attributed to many reasons.

I really could care less about whatever happened to Portugal, as long as that his WC form isnt replicated at UTD by any stretch of imagination.

I expect that our WC players would be given extended breaks. He should use it judiciously to reset and recharge his batteries.

We need to build on last season's momentum and he is one of the players we are looking up to.

Ok sir keep speaking about it Ronaldo fan boy.

I quite understand why Ronaldo fans are throwing fit everywhere, for nearly 20 years now you guys have been constantly under the shadows of Messi and it’s painful, to top it off, he won the WC breaking several records and on course to win another one. Ronaldo just can’t keep up, the next thing is to pile on on teammates for not carrying him to win. I understand and sympathise with you guys. Ndo

odizeey:
When una dey insult Pogba because he barb hair and dab nobody come here begin curse United fans o.

I put it to you that people insulting Bruno are majorly from other clubs.

Dey call United fans stupid everytime when you are the stupid foooool. Thunder strike you.

I put it to you that you might be among the fans i am talking about. And you must also be a Ronaldo fan, so no surprise. Na so una de always talk. Nobody insult Pogba for what is going on in France

Jamiuokolaa:
Oga - no player is above scrutiny at the club.

Like I said, anybody that performs below par would be called out.

I dont care what he or any player has been doing in the last 30 years at the club.

Man utd is important than any player or manager.

Having said that, the prayer and hope is that he continues to perform brilliantly like we saw last season.

If he performs badly for Man utd he will be called out, But calling him out for portugal team failure becauase thw 41 year old finished "GOAT" cannkt win world cup is what i am talking about

obonujoker:
But to be frank, you means only James Rodriguez created 10 chances in the WC, while Bruno, Vitinha and Nerves created just 7..

And the assist Bruno got self na the 41 year old direct am how to make the pass?

Well it's well... I hope Man utd fans should stop criticising Bruno, and just imagine say KDB con win WC, shey e no go worse for Bruno so...

Its none of my business what Bruno did with portugal as far as he is balling for us. Same KDB wey dey substitute against Senegal match change for good, the coach now benched him completely agaisnt USA. This is what Martinez should have done to Ronaldo, bench him completely and free the team to shine.

afrodoc2:
This is better. I seriously did not know what you were talking about and whether you were in support or against the recent transfers and players. It is what it is. When you have a large fan base like ours and couple it with little or no success over the past decade you get all sorts of reactions and behaviors.

Honestly.
I do not have any issues with any of the transfers or completely endorse it as I am not a Nostrademus to know which transfer will work or not.

But fans already being toxic to players we are signing just because the board did not allow themselves to be scammed 85m and 250k/week wages for or 100m and 300k/week for certain players that we are not even sure they will suceed, is really baffling.

My main issue sef na Man utd fans bashing Bruno making him to deactivate his instagram and lock his comments on twitter because he didnt help Ronaldo win the WC. As in total madness.

Jamiuokolaa:
Haha

So God forbid he begin play rubbish, we shouldn’t call him out all because we need to be "considerate"..lol

Nobody is asking you to be Considerate oo, But just be ready to recieve whatever you dish out bomber to bomber and dont start crying oo. Bruno has spent 5 years at Man Utd, he hasbt played any rubbish at any point. So I dont know where this your "Playing Rubbish" is coming from.
