Bruno Fernandes was never good at anything except diving. The change at the start of last season where more contact was allowed has crippled his entire strategy.

All he does now is throw his hands up at his team-mates and cry to the referee. Never defends, doesn't fit into a system. He's far more of a problem than anyone else in that team.

Oh so assists come from diving? I know stats isnt everything but criticising one of the best stat producers of your team isnt really the solution..

Wow a little bit of an over reaction there no?

His first 6 months and then the start of the next season were great...he was by far the team's best player.

Then they brought Ronaldo and he turned into the national team's version of Bruno Fernandes....which is a lot more like what you describe, as he spends his time only looking to pass to cronaldo regardless of the situation and crying and arguing with refs. Kind of a reverse of what vitinha did to mbappe.

Poor kid used his brain and now the player/owner throws a tantrum and the kid is dead in that club.

That is a bit much, he can be good and he still is no Sterling.

Ya Fernandes was arguably KDB level his first one and a half season. He dropped an absurd amount since they signed Ronaldo - but he was downright fantastic before that.

He had 15 goals/assist in 14 games the first season, 30 goals/assist in 37 games the second. Those numbers, for a midfielder playing for a team totaling 73 goals that season, even with 13 of goals being penalties (even this changed after Ronaldo came - Fernandes had 13 goals and 1 miss before Ronaldo came, 0 goals 2 misses after) are really top notch. I watched a lot of United during that period and a lot of the goals were real class and with better teammates (but apparently not Ronaldo) he'd have more assists too.

Fernandes is a David Ginola (Tottenham) and Laurent Robert (Newcastle). Can show moments of brilliance, but not enough consistency to really be in a title-contender team. He is not at the same level as KDB, Salah or Jorginho.

Yes, he had a ridiculous streak of goals, assists and pimpest plays. But that was a one-off patch that has never been replicated at club or international level.

He'll fit in well at Tottenham or Newcatle, though. And when on form, a must have on any fantasy football team...

The 'Vardy to United'-rumour is the weirdest i've heard in a while, even worse than Arnautovic. So a coach that likes to field a squad that plays possession and builds up from the back gets Vardy, who is primarily good when he can run at defenders and play with depth? What?

Are they expecting Cronaldo to still make a last-minute move, Martial isn't good enough and they don't want to be strikerless for the season?

Yeah think lots of these rumours for Yanited are just wrong and fake news shall we say.

Hope they give ten hag some time as i like the bloke for who he is and what he brings to football, he has come across well in the documentary stuff they have put out of him so far this season.

The very weak present of Manchester United is summed up in one fact.

Since signing a contract in July 2021, Jadon Sancho has had more managers (Solsjkaer-Carrick-Rangnick-Ten Hag) than goals scored (3) in the Premier League. 🤦‍♂️

And don't forget that the Red Devils paid 85 MILLION EUROS! for him

Just in, wolves bought matheus nunes for 45+5.

He is very good internally and has done well for the national team but i'm not sure how will he fare vs stronger physical competition.

Guardiola praised him a lot last year after Sporting's games vs city but im not sure how well you guys know him still.

So with a win next monday vs Liverpool we'd actually be ahead of them in the table, which would be kinda funny at this point. Now, how likely it is that we somehow manage to play even passable football...

If they fire Ten Hag already they're more incompetent than I thought. Like I said before he always struggles at the start at a new club. The first few games of the season were usually pretty average as well. He needs some time to find out where the players properly fit. This is no secret. If they didn't know it they really didn't do their due diligence.
