Bruno is simply different class.
Yup.

Good to see Greenwood on the scoresheet.

Even if I did replace him with Ings on FF this week...

Very good second half. Bruno is a huge improvement to the side and style of play. Special player.

If I had to find a negative, and I do of course, it would be that Ole insists on giving Chong game time when we must have better youngsters that deserve a chance.

All the ability in the world ,so frustrating to watch him saunter into the penalty area.

If Pogba decides to stay and give his all for the club then a midfield of him and Bruno could be very special. Bruno brings so much to the team and makes us tick like Scholes and Carrick did. Great confidence builder again for us now lets get on a run!!

See this is the thing, Pogba wants champions league etc but he won't put the work in to help the team get there, seems he wants to ride on the coat tails of the rest. If he really was a truly great player he would be driving them on from the pitch and helping get us there.

If he did that he would be a legend, as it is he is just a leech of a player both on and off the pitch.

I agree that he’s poisonous. But he’s almost always our best player when he plays. Hard to criticise his game given that he’s a class apart.

When I think of PP my first thought is “Give him time” he’s relatively new.

Then I realise he has been at United for THREE AND A HALF YEARS!!

If he were going to be a really good player (forget about a great) we’d have seen it delivered consistently.

He’s a product I’m afraid. An instagram influencer, a fashionista and a poster boy for many a young lad.

His application to his modus operandi has been, is, and will be poor.

I’d say sell him. He’d be no great loss.

Bruno will have a much bigger impact. Pogba needs to foxtrot off.

I don’t disagree. If we can hold onto Bruno, he’ll be a fantastic player for us.

He's got to really, the club can't afford another transfer faux pas. Fortunately he looks as though he can pull a few strings in that midfield.

Bruno does look good it's exciting to see, fingers crossed he adapts well

Good see McSauce back today.

If we can win next 3 games I'd say we should take at least 5th unless it all goes T}T5 up .. but dropping lingaard and perrera and McT back in squad we should only get stronger now.

All defenders look great. Shaw played superb today ...

I'd still be resting James tho and playing dalot ...

Ighalo nearly bagged himself one from an impossible angle. Did well to get it on target!!

Sancho in Summer please.

Sancho filling that much needed gap on our right wing would be huge for us this summer. He’s got to be our priority and getting Champions league footy will be a key part of it!

So if we get champions League.. we have the money. You think he wouldn't want to come to Manchester United?

Probably said same about Maguire and AWB. laugh

I'd agree we may not be favourites... But saying no chance is a comical uneducated reply.

Either way I have confidence in OLE's recruitment

The difference is that the two players you mention were never really linked with many other clubs ... and while being decent enough players, they're not really world beaters.

Sancho can have the pick of the clubs I would think. He may choose you of course, but currently, what would make you appeal to him above other clubs?
