Unbelievable Jeff. Shouldn’t have waited until Jan. It has cost you the league this season, by the looks of it.
The guy is absolutely class and he seems to have a great attitude as well.
He's made a huge difference great buy by United.

yep, the guys a winner and it seems infectious. i don't think man utd will challenge next year but they'll be a lot closer.
He's made a difference no doubt but a lot of his goals have been pens so can't give too much credit for that. Also it is your defensive stats that stand out most there and I don't think he can get too much credit there either. The break and just having a bit of form have resulted in your improvement imo.
That said I am gutted you've got him and you won't be as bad next year at least in part due to him.

It does play a part though, when teams are scared of your attack, the defence gets an easier time
Actually, it's the positive impact he's had on the players that has been more impressive than his individual performances for me.
I can see why the top teams were skeptical to buy him despite his affordable price. His pass completion % is somewhat low and very erratic. I have my doubts as to whether he's good enough right now to play for a genuine CL contender but hey, the guy is only 25 so can still improve. His positives definitely outweigh his negatives that's for sure
Hes not exactly the type of player who will have anyone on the edge of their seat watching, but definitely improves united.
His all round play simply isn't that special to be honest.

true, id swap him in a heartbeat for Henderson or Fabinho or wijnaldum or keita.
he has been amazing
one thing that often gets overlooked is that his form is reminiscent of pogba's form when ole first took over and we were scintillating. Pogba played higher up the pitch combining briliantly with our attackers.
The problem imo started when we lost players (herrera especially) due to injury and pogba was tasked with playing a deeper role. With the likes of mata/pereira/lingard told to play the #10.
We solved the cm issue by playing pogba (a #10) as cm and created a problem in #10 which has now been solved by bruno.
We have two players who are excellent in #10 in pogba and bruno. We still do not have an excellent cm even though pogba can play the role well against most teams.

Fair assessment.
if he played the safe pass his % would be far higher.
instead he plays risky through balls or creative dinks. when they come off we usually score but id rather he try that 10 times and give it away 9 given we will score with the other 1.
the fact he got 7 assists in 1/3 of the league games is crazy.
KDB dominated with 20 in 35, then its TAA with 13 in 38.

This. I'd say the change to culture and confidence is as important as anything else. The forwards look sharper. Other players are pinging first time balls more often than they were (in my subjective perception).
He is a talented player “no doubt about that” as Fergie would say. He takes a mean pen.
Bruno has been a breath of fresh air.
He's not world class, but he's very good.
In saying that, he's easily the biggest impact player in the league this season. Sometimes, your presence is strong enough to infect others to achieve better themselves.
Pleased that he listened to the advice from Ronaldo.
to put things in perspective these are utd stats when pogba played higher up the pitch before being moved to a deeper role to help us gain a foothold in cm.
Played: 16 (all competition)
W: 13 -- D: 2 -- L: 1 (psg 1st leg)
GF: 36 -- GA: 12
my point is, our real problem started with having to move pogba from his favoured role as #10 to cm where he is decent but also left a hole in #10 lingard/pereira/mata could not fill until bruno arrived.
if we get a top cm, we will be able to push pogba into #10 if/when needed, and also keep bruno on his toes knowing while he is the prefered #10 if his standard drops pogba can easily play that role instead.
He's got a great weight of pass and can split a defense open, having pace in front of him helps his game too.
It'll be interesting to see if the players start getting frustrated with his over eagerness to play the killer ball all the time when we next hit a blip or when he hits a bad patch of form.
At the moment, I'd say one in four of his final balls come off, certainly in the last few games. When the initial awe surrounding Bruno begins to wear off, I can see how that might irritate the other players.
KDB is the benchmark for aspiring advanced playmakers. He gets tons of asssits yet also manages to complete 8/10 of his passes every game
He’s been a revelation. Up until a few weeks ago he was probably the best player in the PL since he signed.
He tired towards the end and it showed but even then he always has a goal contribution in him.
Even yesterday he wasn’t good and some will say he only scored a pen but it was still his quality pass to put Martial through to win the pen.

Sums up United in one!
Useless, and insipid and not a top 4 side.
Reliance on one player who made the diff . Though suspect pens have their roles too!
