I don't think Bruno will care. Until I see him visibly act disgruntled then I've seen nothing in him that suggests he'd be upset about this.
Good to have good takers in the team. People wrote off penalties as though they don't mean anyrhing but City have a pretty poor conversation rate and the season before last, we dropped multiple points because of missed pens.
We'll get plenty enough for both to fill their boots over the season.
Let them take 1 each per game.
This is where the refs can help out, they really need to up their game and give us MORE pens so we can share them out and keep both players happy
Not a lot to ask really is it?
With both Ronaldo and Bruno on the pitch we can easily win 2 pens per game, so there won't really be an argument, Ronaldo will take both.
Who takes them for Portugal ?

That's different though. Bruno is a club legend at United and Ronaldo is a new boy treading on his territory.
Bruno, of course. When he misses a couple it goes to Ronaldo until he misses a couple. And tell them in advance
Their might be a few handbags flying around the place !
What we need are penalties contentious enough that they over-analyze it on MOTD and take the focus away from the identity of the taker, but not so contentious so as to highlight the obvious ref bias towards us.
Bruno should remain our penalty taker. I know 1 or 2 were retaken but he’s converted 21 from 22 officially for us.
Its irrelevant who takes them for Portugal as Ronaldo was there before Bruno and they were hardly gonna take them off him.
Whoever is better at them, figure it out in training. I don’t think Bruno would throw a hissy like Richarlison tbh if it were Ronaldo taking it. Both very good penalty takers.
Whoever grabs the ball first
Ronaldo should be nowhere near the majority of free kicks either.
I know he’s scored some bangers but the reality is that most players with that amount of attempts will see the odd one fly in.
Most of his frees aren’t even close.
It's not that I think Bruno would be angry, it's more than I think Bruno should be taking them without a doubt.
If anything I would expect Cristiano to be the one having a problem if Bruno is taking the pens.

I agree but who should take our free kicks then?

Bruno if it’s close ish to the box. He’s scored a few already. From long range give Ronaldo or Rashford to odd pot but I’d be more in favour of getting the ball into the box for those.
I’d personally keep Bruno on pens as he’s been great so far but I can imagine Ronaldo expecting/demanding the role. Hope he doesn’t.
Ronaldo is to Portugal what Zeus was to the Ancient Greeks. One long stare from him will be enough to wither Bruno into submission.
Ronaldo is definitely going to take penalties. I don’t think Bruno will be too upset about it. He already knows Ronaldo, so doubt he is expecting to be the main penalty taker this season.
It’ll be interesting to see who will take free kicks. I think Bruno will take most of them. Unless Ronaldo get off to a flyer. Then he will take everything.
The real long range efforts we’d be better off working on some routines and crossing to the likes of Maguire, Varane, Ronaldo, Pogba and McT instead of letting Rashford or Ronaldo smash it at the wall or row z.
Short free kicks, Bruno’s had a few decent ones but hardly a specialist, Ronaldo can have a few from real close with power. Would like to see Greenwood get on some with either foot.
Bruno is a team player, he wants to win and he will be delighted Ronnie is joining.
