patrickmuf: Bruno is a high risk high reward player. Man Utd knew what they were getting fully well before they signed him. If you are judging Bruno on ball retention or pass accuracy, you would miss the point because his first instinct when he receives the ball is to make a highly risky pass forward. This is why he’s the heart and soul of every attacking move we make. Bruno is in his 3rd season and he has not lost an away PL game at Man Utd. There is a reason for that. United need to give him an elite DM to cushion the effect of his low ball retention stats. 8 Likes 1 Share

melodyogonna: Look at the interception stats though. The metric that shows how well a DM reads the game to intercept instead of making a crushing tackle. Ndidi and Casemiro are up there. McFred are at the bottom. 3 Likes |

olabode89:Sancho may need more adaptation time but that game isn't where he should be judged. it's difficult place to start and the team didn't particularly play well. Ole need to give him four or five consecutive starts. I expected him to get his first start at Old Trafford. 3 Likes |

Illimitable:From what you saw yesterday with Fred chasing Trincao in one action and in another trying to dispossess Traore, do you really think all we need is a DM and all our problems will be solved? We need a DM, no doubt it but I don't see how even Makelele will fix the issues we have in the team. |

nitrogen:Fred was even taken off for an attacker. It wasn't a like for like sub. Some comments are just way off |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 12:47pm On Aug 30, 2021 |
nitrogen:That impatience is killing. That's why we will always fall short when it matters but I see many people are not ready for that discussion here |

patrickmuf: If we had an elite DM, Pogba and Bruno would be advanced midfielders - 5 players in the final third of Wolves. The game would have been easier to score unlike what we saw. I hate when Pogba is stuck next to Fred in a double pivot. Pogba is better offensively than defensively. 70% of Pogba’s output is lost when he plays as a DM. We are a much better side when he’s further up the pitch. I don’t understand how everyone sees this but Ole sees something different. 3 Likes |

Cavani withdrawn from Uruguay World Cup qualifier |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 12:56pm On Aug 30, 2021 |
Looking at the heat map, Pogba covered the right side of the midfield, Fred operated more at the center. I'm not sure who was supposed to cover the left side. I could guess Bruno but he's our striker |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Illimitable: 1:03pm On Aug 30, 2021 |
dammywapes: That’s good news. Cavani should stay back, train and refresh for those two weeks. 4 Likes |

Illimitable:Check when Pep plays KDB and Gundogan in front of Rodri...You hardly find that much space between the pair even when they attack. Rodri always has passing options either to the two CBs or their full backs or to either of Gundogan or KDB. When attacking, Gundogan will ghost into the box, KDB will be a little withdrawn with Rodri stationed in the opponents half whilst the 2 fullbacks supply the width and the CBs push up close to the Centre of the pitch. This makes the pitch small for the opponents as they're kind of crowded out thus City can easily recover possession with their press. It's a system that involves all the units functioning, each player must be well positioned for their press to be coordinated. It is not down to the superior defensive quality of Rodri but more to their system. A DM is important but in our present set up, Ndidi will look above average at best. I can't remember a game where I saw an opponent running at Rodri. Pep will never set up to allow the opponent attackers have a go at his defenders, it rarely does happen and when it does, most times City drop points because individually some of their defenders are suspect but as a unit, they're that good. We should learn how to keep the ball and progressively attack and defend as a unit... 1 Like |

melodyogonna:but stats suggest Bruno is one of the guys with the highest distance covered in the team. how do you reconcile this? |

The problem is not bruno, but the coach.. we don't have a system... its just vibes on the pitch... bruno is a hardworker, if the coach wants him to drop deep he'll drop deep.. we re just Counter attack and inshallah, the coach should produce a system that will help break opposition that sit back 5 Likes |

All this agenda una no deh tire eh Leeds is in advance talk's to sign Daniel James from man utd with personal terms underway confirmed by Romano Fabrizio ... I really think this is a good deal to make man utd use the money for a solid DM. Lingard is also on West Ham radar and they are thinking of making a possible deal now |

elrony:I can't find who is supposed to be there. I'm even confused if Pogba and Fred were supposed to cover that whole side why did Pogba now concentrate on the right and Fred at the middle. This team is confused |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 1:53pm On Aug 30, 2021 |
ChristineC:We had two CDMs in Fred and Tom. Yesterday, I wasn't sure Pogba offered much without the ball. Bruno had all that freedom to play the free role. But what happens when we don't have those two together? That's why I was talking about our players the other day when we were excited about our attacking options. This team will suffer if we think we can fit in all those attacking players into the field at the same time |
