    As a United supporter who watches him week in week out it’s really weird seeing so many people who think he’s consistently good. There’s a not-insignificant amount of United supporters who don’t really rate him that highly

    There’s a reason there’s a big thread on RedCafe called We will never win the league with Bruno Fernandes in the team

    It was regularly bumped last season because he’s not been anywhere as good as a lot of you seem to think he’s been. He’s been shockingly bad this season

      I’m sorry but how can you say he’s not one of our best players? His biggest problem is that Ten Hag is convinced that he can play on the right wing instead of through the middle. I also think that it’s possible Ten Hag puts Bruno on the right because Bruno is always looking to play a progressive or optimistic pass, and those don’t have the best success rate. Ten Hag wants to play a possession dominant style, and while we’re no where near that right now, I think he believes that having Bruno out wide means he will get the ball in more dangerous areas, and he won’t be giving away possession in the middle of the pitch. It’s really the only reason I can see for his continued push out wide, when he’s so very obviously more effective through the middle.
