Bruno does not even have a place in the current set-up; the left and right attacking midfielders behind the striker have to be players who are good on the ball and can take on the opponent without losing the ball at the slightest bit, only to begin complaining afterwards...

We should be looking for proper midfielders as Bruno has shown he can't play in a midfield two neither can he function as one of the inverted forwards cum AMFs...
The problem is getting £100m for Bruno would require spending equal or higher amount to replace his numbers..See how much Liverpool are paying for Wirtz.. Bruno's numbers are insane plus his constant availability, in the current market, we get that money, we'll need to spend it to replace his numbers..

And this recruitment thing is where the problem lies for this club, WE HAVE TO STOP BUYING PLAYERS FOR A MANAGER AND START BUYING FOR MANCHESTER UNITED..That's why our rebuilding is taking a lifetime to complete..Buy for Mourinho, Buy for Ole, Buy for ETH and now Buy for Amorim, wash, rinse and repeat.. Never ending black hole..

See me see question. Liverpool are close to signing Wirtz, Man City are pushing for Reijnders, deals are happening but when it comes to Man Utd, you begin to see fans ask this silly question...

and the player bought would be a huge gamble. With Eriksen gone, Case should do likewise and thus there's still need to get atleast a CM.

Whether you are buying for the manager or the club, it doesn't matter right now. The fee is important, for instance, Gyokeres will cost almost the same as Cunha for the same amount but we are close to signing Cunha...Gyokeres signing guarantees goals and assist, so getting a player like that is you replacing Bruno's contribution from midfield while having the opportunity to bring in an actual midfielder that does the job expected of a midfielder...

Away from stats, I don't think Bruno is suited to occupy one of the positions of a midfield two neither is he excellent as an inverted winger cum LAMF or RAMF...If the offer is right, he should be sold.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CrystalTiger(m): 12:10pm On May 31, 2025
Very soon it'll be the club couldn't compete in the market because Bruno refused to allow the club make £100m off him..

There are a lot of sh!t heads that should have been shown the door by now to raise money but the whole focus is on letting go of your best player who's the least of your worries..

Sancho, Antony, Shaw, Rashford, Hojlund, Onana, Bandydir, should all comfortably fetch the club that £100m ffs..

Seems this INEOS people are from frying pan to fire..

So if we don't sell Bruno, we can't afford Gyokeres?Of all the players to be sold this summer, Bruno should be the least on anyone's list..

All this plus and minus from our fans now is because of RatFace..Nigga is a broke billionaire because how's Chelsea buying Delap and still going for Ekihite?

Do you know how much Chelsea has spent in three years?

So indirectly, we are selling one of our best players simply because he doesnt fit into a particular style of play/formation

It is well

I don't understand why some people think Bruno is irreplaceable. In my opinion, players like Rodrygo, Eze, Cherki, and Lookman are better suited to right attacking midfielder (RAMF) than Bruno.

As a midfielder, we need players who can effectively keep the ball, be positionally aware, and maintain a high work rate. While Bruno does have a good work rate, he struggles to keep possession under pressure and cannot always be relied upon to maintain his position. His tendency to drift across the field may lead to a higher number of goals and assists, but it ultimately causes the team to suffer.

If we had a team full of world-class players, I would oppose selling him, but right now, we need players who better fit our needs.

Very huge gamble, this is the most scrutinized club in the league ffs..The pressure here can break players into pieces...

I had expected Casemiro to be gone too but RatFace is broke, Glaziers got the deal of a lifetime with RatFace..

Early days but if we can draw inference from what Amorim did at Sporting then, expect a huge clearout this summer.

You expect him o come out and say he wants Bruno to be sold?

The fact he moved Bruno from playing as one of the AMFs to midfield as part of the midfield two tells you that he thinks they're better options as AMFs and he is not satisfied with his option in that two-man midfield...We are close to signing Cunha for the RAMF position and we all know the LAMF spot belongs to Amad...In the long run, do you see Bruno as a reliable option for the two-man midfield? I don't...

The challenge here is replacing our best player. Given how the Glazers handled the CR7 situation, I doubt they'll reinvest the funds properly— which might require signing two CM. I’d suggest Baleba, but that seems unlikely.

With several attacking players e.g. Rashford, Antony, Sancho, and Garnacho possibly leaving, we’ll likely need to bring in at least two of the AM options you mentioned even without selling Bruno.

Cunha LAMF and Amad RAMF, not the other way round.

The truth is that players are available for the right price, everything is down to your negotiation skills...

Money is good if you know what to do with it.

There is a way we can sell Maguire, Casemiro, Bruno for big money, misspend the money , and be truly staring relegation in the face next season.

KDB doesn't have Bruno numbers in terms of goals but he is still considered the better midfielder. He doesn't have to be a midfielder who scores goals regularly, what we need is a potent striker and good midfielders to supply the assist regularly..
I love Bruno but he is 31years old and looks to be struggling in Amorim system, it would be crazy if the Club turn down #£100m bid.

How many clubs have shown interest in the players you mentioned? Chelshit can sign Scamcho for just £25m, but they are considering sending the fraud back for a fine fee. Trashford is available for £40m, but obviously didn't impress Aston Villa Management enough for them to sign him. Antony did very well in Spain, hopefully we see a bidding war to help push his fee up.
The remaining players on your list are also not attracting huge interest so far, so selling Bruno for £100m plus at this time is a good move for both Club and Player.

I understand your point but PSG did not sell Mbappe neither did Barcelona sell Messi...

I will also accept a bid in excess of 100m for Bruno...That money can get us Gyokeres and with more outgoings, we can comfortably replace Bruno and get in other quality replacements.
Thank you so much, the duo left on free transfer I get.

If he was talking about the wages we will free up if we sell those players on a cheap then, I'd understand but talking about generating 100m from those bumps is laughable.

How much did West Ham pay for Wan-Bissaka again, so isn't it 15m or thereabout...If we see 30m for Maguire, we shouldn't hesitate...

Onana for 20m will be a miracle...Shaw should have his contract terminated under a mutual agreement...

Martinez is returning from a long term injury, so I don't see any club looking his way. Rashford and Antony did reasonably well but Betis don't have 40m to pay, his performance in the Conference League final was very poor, so even if they nursed the thought, that performance was enough to have them change their mind while Villa will want to pay less than 40m for Rashford knowing too well that we want to offload him...

Only Bruno and Garnacho can generate a good fee at this point.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc(m): 3:08pm On May 31, 2025
When we had possibility of Champions League football that 100m seemed more attractive. Now that there is no European football it will be even more difficult to attract good players.

The crucial question should not be whether 100m for Bruno is a good deal, because it is. The crucial question is will the club use the Bruno money wisely, cos if we sell Bruno and buy Mount and VDB type flops we are finished.

All our players are sh!t and we wouldn't get decent money from them has always been the theory..It's no fan's fault that we're a bad selling club..

Heck one of our trash players who went for just £30m last summer, just won Serie A player of the season..
