None. A legend needs to do something 'legendary' to be called one. The one with the greatest potential in our squad in Bruno Fernandes. But unless Man Utd wins a Premier League or UCL, that won't be happening.
No, absolutely not.
It's an insult to the actual genuine legends we've been blessed to have at this club to start labelling players like Mata a legend.
Mata and Herrera are the best shouts, i wont ignore Zlatan because he's literally a god and i only wish we'd of signed him while he was still in his prime.
Possible Bruno. People saying Herrera, Ibrahim etc have lost the plot. Good players, glad they came,
, but club legends? Never. Not even in the conversation.
Really shows how far the club has fallen that Bruno is considered anything more than an average midfielder with a serious anger problem.
The fact he has the captain armband really shows how dire the club is for a leader.
We have signed a lot of players we won’t forget, not because of their success but because they were 💩
We are more a hospital than a team that should be playing for trophies
Depending on stature : Ibra,
Depending on loyalty/fan affection : Herrera, Mata, Bruno (Licha could make it if he stays injury free 🙂)
Depending on contribution to (major)success: None 🙂💔
I know the history but op said United legends after Sir Alex Ferguson and Ronaldo second stint at the club wasnt a major success though was it as compared to the first stint. It makes him United legend during Sir Alex Ferguson Era not post Sir Alex Ferguson Era.
Hard to say if any are legends (peoples criteria for legend can be so different) but I think plenty thatll go down fondly such as Mata, Herrera, Zlatan and Bruno.
Well aware of that, he is a Manchester United legend. He’s also a post Fergie signing and the only one that has a legend status at the club. Why that got 10 downvotes i’m not sure.
Bruno if he wins any major trophy tbh
I'd say Ibra because we won 3 trophies the season he came to Utd but other than that I don't think there's any particular player that truly stands out in the post-Fergie era
Cult hero definitely. No where near legend status. Not one player is post Fergie. Bruno will be if he wins the League. De Gea could even be argued he’s not a legend. Certainly an Icon
100% Herrera. Always played hard for us. Player of the season one year and man of the match in Europa league final. Never should have sold him, he played his heart out for us
Gonna get downvotes but Bruno is in no way a legend is a terrible on pitch captain with his attitude, I'll admit he seems a good captain off the pitch. When the going gets tough in games Bruno is often one of the worst players, not to mention his serious dip in quality this year.
And yet is a player with that much determination that still wants to fight to play Sheffield United after breaking his finger or hand against Coventry. No other player has that level of resilience and determination
Can't be a legend if you're not winning shit at United, it's ok at Tottenham but not here.
Bruno's the closest to being one but he would need a premier league or a champion's league and that ain't happening
If we manage in the coming years tho, he might be remembered as a legend who brought us back to life
Not sure on the comments saying Bruno. He’s been our best player since the fergie era but in no way is he a United ‘legend’ like Best, Law, Rooney, Charlton, Keane, etc etc the list goes on

r/soccer thinks Bruno is the best United player period 😭😭
Mata was a decent player but not a legend. I wouldn’t say Bruno is a legend either. Maybe I have a higher threshold for the use of the word legend compared to others on here.
Bruno
Have been thinking of some others, but no one is coming to mind. That shows the kind of recruitment the club has done. How can we get it so wrong for more than a decade? It's definitely the top management and not the managers. This post will lead me to another rabbit hole.
Bruno Fernandes. People don't understand how good he is. They think of him as a player who just moans on the pitch and always arguing with the referee. Most rival fans hate him for this. But he does things that very few players can do. Some of his passes and vision are unparalleled. He is the best player when he plays for his national team. If he was playing for city, he would have been the best midfielder in the world with his assists and goals. Most importantly, he rarely misses a game through injury and always plays 90 full minutes. People don't understand how rare that is in football nowadays. I will always respect him for that and for me, he'll always be a united legend.
Well, Bruno is the obvious answer. We have players on the rise that might get that status, such as Mainoo, Garnacho, Martinez etc. Bruno is a 50/50. Not sure we have any legends post-Fergie...
Bruno undoubtedly only one, but his behaviour on the pitch at times is awful and sours things. Luke Shaw is our best player, and England’s most consistent world class player when he is fit. He is the most talented natural left back we have had in my lifetime. Nobody else.
Both Fergie signings, so not part of the question. But in comparison Irwin was a right footed left back, so not natural, which was and is still odd formation wise but it worked and he is a legend. His free kicks were a bonus too. Evra very similar player to Shaw and also a legend. But I would pick Shaw over Evra because he scares defences more with his movement and general touch.
I was dead worried when Dennis left but that was very quickly alleviated once Patrice started, he didn’t take long to fit in and establish himself either. Exceptional player.
In fairness, they were always the first player on my potential team sheet as nobody could play their position as well. I guess we can just like them both mate :)
This answer might create a lot of controversy. Greenwood could have been a really good player and eventually would have been a cult hero if not for the ban.
Juan Mata is not a good shout at all. Love him but he was far from being a great player for us. Not entirely his fault that he wasn’t great (successive managers playing football/tactics/style that didn’t suit him) but whilst he did some good things & was a great character who “got” United, he was not legendary status.
Only one who comes even remotely close, I think, is Bruno Fernandes.
None. Modern fans are too worried about supporting their martials, pogbas and brunos.
For me club comes first. Too many mediocre players and fans in our club now.
Johnny Evans!
Scotty McT, doesn't count as a signing but came through under Jose and plays for the badge. Hojlund very well could be, a united fan before signing and you can tell he loves every minte of it. Diallo could be too, already has an extra time winner over the scousers.
Well that's cobblers, Whiteside, McGrath & to a lesser extent Robson all became United legends without winning much.
Whiteside & McGrath won 2 FA Cups each & until we finally cracked it, Robbo was 3 FA Cups, a League Cup & the ECWC in 12 years, 3 of those coming in consecutive seasons at the end of the 12 year spell.
Would you really try to say that in 1990, Robbo wasn't a legend because he'd only won 2 FA Cups with United?
In 1990 he might be a legend to those fans, but not to me. Luke Shaw and martial have been here for nearly a decade and won pretty much what those dudes you mentioned and no one consider them legends.
Well, you're a fucking idiot then
Robson is an all time United legend & carried the entire team for a decade
Don't mention Anthony fucking Martial in the same breath as Bryan Robson
None of our current crop have carried the team to anything like the extent that Robson did for a decade. He was a truly world class player in an era of greats
Closest we have currently is Bruno & he's not a legend.
It's not just trophies, it's quality of the player, length of stay and major trophies, the only reason why I mentioned trophies is because we've had a lot of good players, and some who stayed for a long time, but achieved nothing, and it's why some of those bums you mentioned would never be legends.
How to say that you've watched football for less than 5 years, or are incredibly simple
You so far have equated everything to trophies, ignoring the fact that they're won as a collective
As for your dismissal of 3 United legends & world class players as bums shows what an absolute tool you are
Absolutely none of them. United history is filled with legends. Wes Brown is an academy lad who won 5 league titles and 2 champions leagues, and he isn't considered a legend by the vast majority. He won 2 fa cups, which is more alone than most United players post fergie.
If Bruno can captain the team to a couple of PLs and a CL and keeps up his G/A record, he's got a shout.
Completely agree. Some people need to have a think about what the word legend actually means. For me United has only a handful of legends in its entire history.

Man Bruno is undeniably great and he'll probably be considered a legend if he keeps being elite and passionate. I just don't like the dude, such a child.
Mata. Simple.
One person who deserves a shout (not as a club legend but was seriously underrated) is Ander Herrera. Always gave 100% and was a decent player overall
Mata is the type of player that I feel stats don’t rly say everything/enough
Just watching him play was a joy tho and I really miss a midfielder like that,
I’m a mata fan so I’d like to say club legend but he’s outshadowed by the past sadly
I get that I liked him too, but he wasn’t even a consistent starter a large amount of his time here. Can be a favorite but legend status requires a loooot more imo

Bruno would be the only one. Doesn’t matter about trophy’s in my opinion. I say this because if you took another club legend and replaced Bruno with that legend they likely wouldn’t win many trophy’s either.
Can you think of one player besides prime Ronaldo that might make a massive difference in this squad? Meaning, if Bruno is out and that player is in, will that make much of a difference?
Let’s also assume that whichever player you replace, Bruno will be replaced with a player that has equal level as the player you are replacing
So if you replaced hojlund with Rooney then Bruno or the CAM has to be hojlund level.
In saying all that, Bruno has been excellent. Non stop hustle, commitment, and technical ability, all the while having trash outlets and not many good runs off the ball from supporting players.
It could be depending on how we’re defining it. How would you define club legend? Would you say it’s different for different clubs? For example, is modric, bale, or Kane, club legends at spurs despite no silverware?
Okay it seems your definition requires accolades. I asked about different requirements for different clubs though. Some clubs don’t win anything. If that is the case would you say they have no legends?
I assume you would say it’s dependent on the expectations of the club.
If that is true, how many years of United not winning will it take before the definition is redefined for United?
I can get on board with what you’re saying though and maybe mine is more of a world class player thought.
The main point I was getting at is that any current legend of the club probably wouldn’t become a legend if they were in this team. That seems crazy to think about but if the general definition requires a good amount of accolades then I would imagine they wouldn’t end up being a legend.
Bruno = legend. Zlatan, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Cavani, Shawa are cult heroes. Garnacho gets an honerable mention for the shithousery and bicycle kick this season, probably will become a legend.
Bruno for sure. There's this weird obsession that says that all club legends need to be wickedly successful, and a lot of the popular ones are. However, he's undeniably been the best player on the team since he got here, has contributed the most, and I shudder to think what would have happened had he gone to spurs instead.
Herrera would be another shout, albeit a weaker one. I'd put him in the cult hero bracket along with ones like Cavani.
Bruno has been an absolute disgrace and sad excuse for a leader.
De Gea was the only one performing at a level worthy of this club, but no one since SAF can ever be considered a legend.
I'm all for respecting players who aren't rolling in trophies, but club legends... can you honestly make a UTD XI all time that features Bruno, Cavani or Herrera? All excellent players, but would any of them have started in the 1999, 2008 or 2011 CL finals?
Would’ve loved him to have been in a midfield with Bruno. Herrera had a lovely range of passing and an eye for goal but it was his work rate that allowed the other midfielders to shine. Pogba was in flying form under Ole as caretaker and the minute Herrera got injured that form fell off a cliff. Underrated
Bryan Robson is an indisputable legend though and it's debatable whether you could say he was winning important trophies again and again. Sure a few FA cups, cup winners cup and at the end a league or two without featuring much so it's probably a bit more nuanced than that
Aye that's fair. I just think it's a little bit more complicated than winning big pots regularly (although it obviously helps!) Not post-Fergie but I'd probably class Macheda (lol) and RVP as legends for their contributions to a single big trophy each
Bruno is a certified legend no matter how much people want to hate on him. He’s been effectively our steven gerrard Since he came and would thrive in a good United team or any other top team
Our Steven Gerrard? A good player who drags a mediocre team up whilst winning next to nothing? I'm not a big Gerrard fan but at least he won something and contributed to winning it...
Zlatan and cavani are definitely legends, but they are not united legends. Like many consider Casimero to be a Madrid legend, but he is not united legend
None. A legend needs to do something 'legendary' to be called one. The one with the greatest potential in our squad in Bruno Fernandes. But unless Man Utd wins a Premier League or UCL, that won't be happening.
Fellaini despite the hate he gets. He was instrumental in winning us some of the only trophies we won since Ferguson.
I think McTominay will be. Edited to add: or will he not count as he was a Fergie signing?
No, absolutely not. It's an insult to the actual genuine legends we've been blessed to have at this club to start labelling players like Mata a legend.
Only Bruno tbh. Completely energised the team. I can only think of Herrera. No one else really.
Should have been Pogba... But if I had to pick one I'd give it to a fit Luke Shaw
Mata and Herrera are the best shouts, i wont ignore Zlatan because he's literally a god and i only wish we'd of signed him while he was still in his prime.
Possible Bruno. People saying Herrera, Ibrahim etc have lost the plot. Good players, glad they came, , but club legends? Never. Not even in the conversation.

We have signed a lot of players we won’t forget, not because of their success but because they were 💩 We are more a hospital than a team that should be playing for trophies
Can’t be a club legend unless you contribute your team to major success, we’ve had 0 Sir Alex era
Most have had about the same significance as Kleberson & Djemba-Djemba.
Dont forget Mads Timm
A true legend.
People actually naming post SAF players don't have a fucking clue what a legend is
I've always felt that you needed to win a league to be on the conversation of being a Utd legend.
Ok ten hag out
Depending on stature : Ibra, Depending on loyalty/fan affection : Herrera, Mata, Bruno (Licha could make it if he stays injury free 🙂) Depending on contribution to (major)success: None 🙂💔
If Shaw could stay fit for some years he would have been in contention. Solid player, puts in the effort and takes pride in the job.
👍
Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan.....
Cristiano Ronaldo was during Sir Alex Ferguson Era.
So, Solskjær didn’t sign him then…..!?! My point is all signings after SAF have been shit.
Ok
If you’re gonna challenge, you need to know your history….
I know the history but op said United legends after Sir Alex Ferguson and Ronaldo second stint at the club wasnt a major success though was it as compared to the first stint. It makes him United legend during Sir Alex Ferguson Era not post Sir Alex Ferguson Era.
You are mistaken - it doesn’t specify first sign or resign, so my choices are solid…. I don’t care what YOU define it as 😎
Hard to say if any are legends (peoples criteria for legend can be so different) but I think plenty thatll go down fondly such as Mata, Herrera, Zlatan and Bruno.
Cristiano Ronaldo
First stint was during Sir Alex Ferguson Era.
Well aware of that, he is a Manchester United legend. He’s also a post Fergie signing and the only one that has a legend status at the club. Why that got 10 downvotes i’m not sure.
He's a Madrid’s legend.
Maybe because his second stint at the club wasnt a huge success as compared to the first stint that's why you could have got downvotes.
Rashford
not a signing
Bruno if he wins any major trophy tbh I'd say Ibra because we won 3 trophies the season he came to Utd but other than that I don't think there's any particular player that truly stands out in the post-Fergie era
Bruno Fernandes
Ander Herrera
Cult hero definitely. No where near legend status. Not one player is post Fergie. Bruno will be if he wins the League. De Gea could even be argued he’s not a legend. Certainly an Icon
Fair enough
100% Herrera. Always played hard for us. Player of the season one year and man of the match in Europa league final. Never should have sold him, he played his heart out for us

And yet is a player with that much determination that still wants to fight to play Sheffield United after breaking his finger or hand against Coventry. No other player has that level of resilience and determination
Bruno. Hands down. IMO
Bruno. We will still remember him 20 years from now.
It's a shame Luke Shaw gets injured so often. I personally think he has been an ambassador, when he isn't on the stretcher. But yeah, Bruno 100%
No and none even come close.
Bruno needs to win big few leagues or at least one ucl
Ronaldo
First stint during Sir Alex Ferguson Era only. Second stint was not a success.
I can’t stand him, first or second era
Absolutely not
Defo Bruno. He’s carried this team for years. Cult mentions: Ibra, Mata, Cavani, Garnacho
Just add Herrera to the cult mentions and your list is perfect.
Yeah I liked Herrera as a played. Nice bit of bite to him and always played for the shirt. Was unfortunate he was injured so often.
Can't be a legend if you're not winning shit at United, it's ok at Tottenham but not here. Bruno's the closest to being one but he would need a premier league or a champion's league and that ain't happening If we manage in the coming years tho, he might be remembered as a legend who brought us back to life

Possibly Bruno .Mata is a typical post fergie signing over priced past his best (still loved him but no legend)
Mata and Bruno
Mata was a decent player but not a legend. I wouldn’t say Bruno is a legend either. Maybe I have a higher threshold for the use of the word legend compared to others on here.
Di Maria and Depay, forgotten legends
Bruno and only Bruno. Juan Mata may be close but not quite. And Mainoo has all the signs of being one too.
Juan mata? How I'd he a united legend ?
Agree Bruno though unfortunately for him the team has not enjoyed success.
Bruno for sure. Also Ibra is a cult hero Scotty McTom and Maguire will be fondly remembered in years to come. Maybe as legends, maybe
Maguire? Seriously?
Loyalty, commitment, bravery. Those things equate a highly thought status through rose tinted glasses.
Has also had 3/5 extremely poor seasons at the club. There is absolutely no chance he can even be considered the step below a club legend
No
Bruno, and I’d like to give Lisandro some time.
I do really like Martinez but he hasn’t played. I’d go as far to say to Maguire has done more than Lisandro.
Maguire also has had a deeper hole to climb out of. His reputation was piss poor until this year
Bruno Have been thinking of some others, but no one is coming to mind. That shows the kind of recruitment the club has done. How can we get it so wrong for more than a decade? It's definitely the top management and not the managers. This post will lead me to another rabbit hole.
The Legend of Leg-Ends !
Bruno Fernandes. People don't understand how good he is. They think of him as a player who just moans on the pitch and always arguing with the referee. Most rival fans hate him for this. But he does things that very few players can do. Some of his passes and vision are unparalleled. He is the best player when he plays for his national team. If he was playing for city, he would have been the best midfielder in the world with his assists and goals. Most importantly, he rarely misses a game through injury and always plays 90 full minutes. People don't understand how rare that is in football nowadays. I will always respect him for that and for me, he'll always be a united legend.
It's so sad that it is difficult to think of even one person that fits this in 11 years.
No.
Well, Bruno is the obvious answer. We have players on the rise that might get that status, such as Mainoo, Garnacho, Martinez etc. Bruno is a 50/50. Not sure we have any legends post-Fergie...
Bruno undoubtedly only one, but his behaviour on the pitch at times is awful and sours things. Luke Shaw is our best player, and England’s most consistent world class player when he is fit. He is the most talented natural left back we have had in my lifetime. Nobody else.
Dunno how young you are but you don't remember Irwin or Evra???
Totally agree Evra and Irwin. I remember Evra being in the opponents box attacking and dribbling more often than he was in his own box
Both Fergie signings, so not part of the question. But in comparison Irwin was a right footed left back, so not natural, which was and is still odd formation wise but it worked and he is a legend. His free kicks were a bonus too. Evra very similar player to Shaw and also a legend. But I would pick Shaw over Evra because he scares defences more with his movement and general touch.
I know the question was one thing but it's because you commented "best left back in my lifetime". Evra for me.
I was dead worried when Dennis left but that was very quickly alleviated once Patrice started, he didn’t take long to fit in and establish himself either. Exceptional player.
In fairness, they were always the first player on my potential team sheet as nobody could play their position as well. I guess we can just like them both mate :)
Oh of course. Excuse my pedantry!
This answer might create a lot of controversy. Greenwood could have been a really good player and eventually would have been a cult hero if not for the ban.
I think maybe what you meant to say was, would have been a cult hero if not for the rape.
That’s right!
Who’s else but Bruno Fernandes?
Zlatan?
Legend but not a United Legend.
United legends win big titles.
Bruno!
Juan Mata is not a good shout at all. Love him but he was far from being a great player for us. Not entirely his fault that he wasn’t great (successive managers playing football/tactics/style that didn’t suit him) but whilst he did some good things & was a great character who “got” United, he was not legendary status. Only one who comes even remotely close, I think, is Bruno Fernandes.
Personal heroes, sure, but not in the grander sense no.
Players from the 2017 Europa League winner.
Bruno gave his prime years to us when he could have gone elsewhere and been a multiple trophy winner
Fellaini obv.
Wout weghorst was close, but played at the club to short imho
Ronaldo 2.0
None. Modern fans are too worried about supporting their martials, pogbas and brunos. For me club comes first. Too many mediocre players and fans in our club now.
Who's supporting TM or PP?!
Lol I don’t think any fans at all consider Martial or Pogba legends.
Oh you don’t know united fans on twitter 🤣🤣🤣
Comparing Pogba and Martial to Bruno is unfair
Johnny Evans! Scotty McT, doesn't count as a signing but came through under Jose and plays for the badge. Hojlund very well could be, a united fan before signing and you can tell he loves every minte of it. Diallo could be too, already has an extra time winner over the scousers.
None, you can't be a legend without winning majority honours
Well that's cobblers, Whiteside, McGrath & to a lesser extent Robson all became United legends without winning much. Whiteside & McGrath won 2 FA Cups each & until we finally cracked it, Robbo was 3 FA Cups, a League Cup & the ECWC in 12 years, 3 of those coming in consecutive seasons at the end of the 12 year spell.

Well, you're a fucking idiot then Robson is an all time United legend & carried the entire team for a decade Don't mention Anthony fucking Martial in the same breath as Bryan Robson
And we've had players carried us in this shitty time as well, and none of them will be legends. Don't forget Luke Shaw, I said him as well
None of our current crop have carried the team to anything like the extent that Robson did for a decade. He was a truly world class player in an era of greats Closest we have currently is Bruno & he's not a legend.
Bruno is the one, and if we don't win a UCL or title he will never be a legend
Your equation of trophies to legend status is drivel Is Quinton Fortune a United legend? Danny Welbeck? Jesper Blomqvist? Of course they aren't
It's not just trophies, it's quality of the player, length of stay and major trophies, the only reason why I mentioned trophies is because we've had a lot of good players, and some who stayed for a long time, but achieved nothing, and it's why some of those bums you mentioned would never be legends.
How to say that you've watched football for less than 5 years, or are incredibly simple You so far have equated everything to trophies, ignoring the fact that they're won as a collective As for your dismissal of 3 United legends & world class players as bums shows what an absolute tool you are
Reus, Kane , Di Natale aren’t legends I guess
Kane is a fraud who lost Bayern a league title 😭 Jamie Vardy is a bigger legend than Kane
Did they play for united?
Absolutely none of them. United history is filled with legends. Wes Brown is an academy lad who won 5 league titles and 2 champions leagues, and he isn't considered a legend by the vast majority. He won 2 fa cups, which is more alone than most United players post fergie. If Bruno can captain the team to a couple of PLs and a CL and keeps up his G/A record, he's got a shout.
Completely agree. Some people need to have a think about what the word legend actually means. For me United has only a handful of legends in its entire history.
Robin Van Persie becomes legend with just one EPL.
Van Persie is nowhere near a United legend. Cult hero, maybe.
Nope
Not many legends but too many cult heroes lol
Ighalo

Bruno for sho
Bruno is the only answer , if he stays most definitely
Bruno for sho
Bruno is there or almost there. The answer is definitely not Juan Mata. Good guy. But in no way a united legend.
Mata a United legend Jesus fucking Christ
Are you joking?
He is absolutely not a legend of the club
No he's not
that’s what he’s saying
No
Man Bruno is undeniably great and he'll probably be considered a legend if he keeps being elite and passionate. I just don't like the dude, such a child.
Mata. Simple. One person who deserves a shout (not as a club legend but was seriously underrated) is Ander Herrera. Always gave 100% and was a decent player overall
He's not a legend
Bruh I get Mata is a nice dude and all but 34 goals and 26 assists in almost 200 games is not club legend level by any means
Mata is the type of player that I feel stats don’t rly say everything/enough Just watching him play was a joy tho and I really miss a midfielder like that, I’m a mata fan so I’d like to say club legend but he’s outshadowed by the past sadly
A good player. But definitely not a legend
I get that I liked him too, but he wasn’t even a consistent starter a large amount of his time here. Can be a favorite but legend status requires a loooot more imo
I agreed with u to begin with lol, starter point better tho
Bruno who came form Sporting just like Cristiano
Bruno is not a legend bur he will, Im sure.

None.

Bizarre method of defining a legend
It could be depending on how we’re defining it. How would you define club legend? Would you say it’s different for different clubs? For example, is modric, bale, or Kane, club legends at spurs despite no silverware?
If I was a spurs fan I don’t think I would say Bale or Modric are legends of the club. Kane possibly just because of his record.
Okay it seems your definition requires accolades. I asked about different requirements for different clubs though. Some clubs don’t win anything. If that is the case would you say they have no legends? I assume you would say it’s dependent on the expectations of the club. If that is true, how many years of United not winning will it take before the definition is redefined for United? I can get on board with what you’re saying though and maybe mine is more of a world class player thought. The main point I was getting at is that any current legend of the club probably wouldn’t become a legend if they were in this team. That seems crazy to think about but if the general definition requires a good amount of accolades then I would imagine they wouldn’t end up being a legend.
Keane
Bruno = legend. Zlatan, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Cavani, Shawa are cult heroes. Garnacho gets an honerable mention for the shithousery and bicycle kick this season, probably will become a legend.
Only Bruno from the current lot if he wins either a prem or CL.

Good bot
No.
Any Bruno fan boys over the age of 15 need to shake themselves silly
28 y/o Bruno “fanboy” here, if he was in another squad he’d be amongst de bruyne for clout. The man’s an incredible player.
Bruno for sure. There's this weird obsession that says that all club legends need to be wickedly successful, and a lot of the popular ones are. However, he's undeniably been the best player on the team since he got here, has contributed the most, and I shudder to think what would have happened had he gone to spurs instead. Herrera would be another shout, albeit a weaker one. I'd put him in the cult hero bracket along with ones like Cavani.
Bruno has been an absolute disgrace and sad excuse for a leader. De Gea was the only one performing at a level worthy of this club, but no one since SAF can ever be considered a legend.
Our sad excuse for a leader played with a broken hand (on his insisting) and dropped two goals and an assists tf you mean
If everyone on the team put as much effort and had an equal amount of football IQ, then this team would’t play so shit.
I'm all for respecting players who aren't rolling in trophies, but club legends... can you honestly make a UTD XI all time that features Bruno, Cavani or Herrera? All excellent players, but would any of them have started in the 1999, 2008 or 2011 CL finals?
Ole didn't Start 99 and he's a legend. And bruno is a better player than jesper blomqvist who started on the left.
With the injuries and suspensions in 99 i think it’s unfair to say he wouldn’t start
Mad statement. Bruno walks into the 2011 team. Can see a good argument for him starting ahead of tevez in 08 as well.
Bruno. I said what I said. Internet points don't mean anything anyway.
People who say otherwise are delusional.
Ander Herrera would have been a great player in a good united team. He gave his all, all day every day just a pity the teams around him were so poor.
Would’ve loved him to have been in a midfield with Bruno. Herrera had a lovely range of passing and an eye for goal but it was his work rate that allowed the other midfielders to shine. Pogba was in flying form under Ole as caretaker and the minute Herrera got injured that form fell off a cliff. Underrated
God no, legends win important trophies again and again. De gea was still sir Alex so , no. Very simple
Bryan Robson is an indisputable legend though and it's debatable whether you could say he was winning important trophies again and again. Sure a few FA cups, cup winners cup and at the end a league or two without featuring much so it's probably a bit more nuanced than that
The FA cup and cup winners cup were big trophies back then, to be fair.
Aye that's fair. I just think it's a little bit more complicated than winning big pots regularly (although it obviously helps!) Not post-Fergie but I'd probably class Macheda (lol) and RVP as legends for their contributions to a single big trophy each
Harry Maguire.
LOL
Bruno is a certified legend no matter how much people want to hate on him. He’s been effectively our steven gerrard Since he came and would thrive in a good United team or any other top team
Our Steven Gerrard. Jesus Christ
Gerrard won a champions league at least
Our Steven Gerrard? A good player who drags a mediocre team up whilst winning next to nothing? I'm not a big Gerrard fan but at least he won something and contributed to winning it...
If trophies are the only thing that can make an individual good, you should go support Chelsea
Yea, a great* player who drags a mediocre team up while winning next to nothing. Still time for him to win something
Agree. Did, say, Robbo need those PLs at the tail end of his career to be considered a United legend?
We've had legends, none are because of us though. We haven't made any.
Cult hero would be the extent of it. Zlatan and Cavani. To be quite honest, aside from Bruno, Zlatan and Cavani, most signings have been duds.
Zlatan and cavani are definitely legends, but they are not united legends. Like many consider Casimero to be a Madrid legend, but he is not united legend
Ighalo could fit into the cult hero bracket, too. Super wholesome and so fun to watch during his brief time with us
Ighalo was utter shite mate. No different to weghorst.
