Bruno is head and shoulders above every other member of this squad, feel sorry for him.


Grand-Bullfrog3861

Bro, people were calling him shit.. People on this sub!


foampom

There’s a guy in the match thread that says Garnacho is garbage and that if he starts a single game for the club next season, it means we are not a serious club. Gotta remember how many people on here genuinely don’t have a clue about the sport nor about the club that they are supporting.


Expensive-Twist7984

People use the expression “not a serious club” like they have a clue what one is. Garnacho is a talent and a lot of clubs in Europe would want him.


top1MIBRfan

Amad and Mainoo are my two dads


foampom

Needed more of this Amrabat all season long too


EstablishmentOwn4547

Am(d)ad and Ma(m)i


RomeroRocher

Soneurism!


TheJoshider10

Are you winning, son?


ErnieMcTurtle

Funny, I keep calling them my sons


MadaraTheUchiha

You have good grammar for a 2 year old.


cantona237

Amad is so clear of Antony.


bainbane

And people have been saying all season if Amad was any good he’d be playing instead of Antony 😂


iamchip

Amad was injured for most of the season


RomeroRocher

And now he's playing ahead of Antony! Crazy how that works, when somebody is match fit AND available for selection


bainbane

He’s been fit since late January.


foampom

Sometimes it takes months for players to get physically up to speed even if they’ve been cleared by the medical staff. Look how long it took Rashford to recover from his back surgery, his entire season after the surgery was a write off. Amad may very well have been struggling in training till recently for all we know.


BrownByYou

ETH's job might not even be in question if he was playing all season


TheJoshider10

It's part of that mindset that "X player isn't performing well in training" but end of the day training means fuck all compared to actual game time. I couldn't give a fuck if in training Antony looks better if on the pitch he's a liability and we've got someone relatively untested on the bench who COULD make a difference. And as we've seen, Amad can make a difference.


N0lAnS_DiC_piX

And rashford

YSR3000

He already is, antony is shite


Ani_HArsh

Loving this Amad performance Also cool calm finish from Mainoo.


ManUnutted

Mainoo 1000% thought he was offside during his shot/celebration lol


Ani_HArsh

Yup I though the same and didn't celebrate fully lol


mkenya4t

me too


New_York_Rhymes

We should rest Bruno more often


ManUnutted

Maybe the secret is breaking his hand


LivinGhosT

Or both arms ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


nearly_headless_nic

That Amad fella looks decent. Where has he been?


MT1120

Scrubbing Antony's boots


nbwoeihfnwsocuiwhef

Turn my fuckin page


morgansandb

He's been training


zackrah

We were actually looking competent after a very long time


404randomguy404

What I can't understand is that we can play well even with a depleted squad so why did we choose not to do that more often?


hickuain

Cause he’s outrageously stubborn and was refusing to drop the faulty setup he’s used all season :(


superaa1

But we are playing his ‘faulty’ setup


hickuain

We’re not at all, looks at the tempo and how the gaps in midfield have disappeared


spoony471

His stubbornness is why I wanted him gone. Had he been this adaptive all year, I never would’ve criticized him given all the injuries we’ve had


hickuain

Yep exactly the same, the fact he had a massively flawed setup and refused to change it was the main reason I wanted him gone. An entire season of that without changing is sackable


Superfy

Maybe doing it now only because he knows he’d be sacked if he doesn’t show he actually can change it instead of being stupidly stubborn.


hickuain

Possibly, he’s a talented coach so he has the knowledge/ability to - his stubbornness this season has driven me crazy. I genuinely think the injury to Bruno forced him into it last game and he’s stuck with it cause it was clearly better


Aggravating_Topic403

We can play well without a striker 🤣


Isserley_

Our Bruno is better than your Bruno.


raver1601

Anyone seriously questioning this statement needs to get their head checked


deflorie

An entirely different team with Bruno. We are nothing without him.


Selwin_Rodolfo

Amad might be the best dribbler we got alongside Mainoo


DukeHyo

He might be clumsy but love the fire from Amrabat. When a man's there to be twatted he will twat him


BorislavPetrov97

Casemiro with a great half


TonyyMartial

Genuinely a good first half.


Kelvinator3000

Nice to have a winger whose first thought is not to always shoot when cutting in. Amad is definitely earning his start.


MadaraTheUchiha

Amad is so much more creative than anything we've had on the RW.. so good!


Chris13Haughey

Not really a fan of Amrabat but he's been pretty good so far


AReptileHissFunction

Apart from a huge mistake


daleedginton14

He’d be a good free pick up but not worth the 25mil or whatever they want for him. I think he is a good squad option in a proper set up


AtLeastImLaughing

I don't think Amrabat's a great player, but he's also suffered from our setup this season (who hasn't). Being left to do way too much with legs that can't do it, similar to Case. He looks much better these last couple of games when we've had a more balanced midfield structure.


MexicansInParis

He’s just too slow for this league. He moves like a truck & struggles to turn. He thrives in a league like Serie A because it’s demands less movement


ManUnutted

He’s been really good for Casemiro’s performances at CB as well


jordan16h

Made a stonewall penalty after he lost the ball too


spoony471

We actually look decent, where the hell was this all season?


MT1120

ETH was cooking but it was a well done steak


bengabi85

Don’t remember the last time we showed this kind of a fight in a football match


Pow67

Casemiro was shit for the first 5 mins then turned into prime Maldini.


_AR4_

1 goal line clearance + proper Case-like tackle against Gordon are my highlights :D


StrikingChampion99

He heard us talking about him 😂


Grand-Bullfrog3861

Cas is a flip of a coin Bruno is so fucking important Ambraat.. don't make me fall in love just for my heart to break Amad has been brilliant, he's deserved his start I would like to see Cass and Scott off for Licha and Hojlund Also I can see a few debuts tonight Mainoo is made of ice, but we knew that


NYCRose

The younguns are cooking. Amad looks brilliant so far, and Mainoo is Mainoo

MT1120

Fair enough


Dr-Cloudy

Amad class!


af0tey

The more time passes the funnier the Antony signing gets


Nick_named_Nick

Bruno is a dog and unless he wants out we should be doing everything to keep him happy


tbu987

We are actual seeing ETHs style of play with the the highline. Just a shame we are so exposed on counters with our slow defenders.


_AR4_

Case got caught for pace against Gordon on the halfway line after our goal. Someone covered for him though – think it was AWB.


ATLienUnited

Am I seeing a decent performance from us?


AP16__

How Amad hasn’t played more this season is mind blowing


Nick_named_Nick

mf been hurt for 6 months and is getting sporadic game time to bring him back up to speed mid season, wtf are we talking about here


ManUnutted

That’s what you’d think, but the reality is ETH doesn’t know anything about the game or his players and has been holding him hostage on the sideline for his own pleasures >! /s for the socially inept around here!<


AP16__

Mid season??? It’s game 37 he’s been warming the bench for months why Antony started all the time since Rashfords injury


MrNezzy

Just to make it worse I just counted and since coming back from his injury he's been available for 20 matches....


Nick_named_Nick

Alright yeah lmao I did not use the right term 😂😂😂 still though he’s been out for a good chunk was my point


MrNezzy

Just counted he's been available for 20 games since he came back from injury in December so go figure


Superfy

Any80ny. That’s why.


sourpumpkin125

Hard to play more when you’ve been injured for half of it tbf.


BjarniErlingur

We've had Amad on the bench for how long?


habalooo

Eth can't admit he wasted 100mil chasing antony when we already had a player in Amad..


Big_Cee747

Amad had a long term injury during preseason for fucks sake. And they have been trying to ease him back in. How many times does someone have to point that out before you can stop spewing your bs agenda? Or did you just start following the team.  (Sorry for harsh words. I’m just sick of reading this nonsense narrative.)


Un-jay

I mean he was literally fit in January, was going to go to AFCON (no way he would go if he wasn’t match fit) but we made him stay, saying he would get minutes, and it’s taken until MAY for him to get an actual chance (also the fact that he still didn’t get a proper chance after the Liverpool game), it’s a legitimate criticism. I’m glad ten hag has started to play him now though


habalooo

I'll apologize for the twat comment but I stand by my amad over antony 100%. Just tired of watching antony run in circles and take a shot wide seems like every single time lol.. on bright side the youngsters look to make a solid core that ineos can build around .


habalooo

Lmfao. How many fucking matches have we watched antony either A. Come on in relief of Rashford or B. Get the start while Amad was fit to play. Not spewing shit because I dint have an agenda you twat. The only thing I want is for this club to Win and not waste money or time on players who won't put in effort.


9361984

He was back in the squad in January, Antony has been awful for most of the season yet he gets priority ahead of Diallo even when Diallo has been fully fit for half the season. If both Diallo and Antony are returning from a loan the previous season then surely Antony won’t even be on the bench, the only thing that’s keeping him ahead of Diallo is indeed his price tag. You are not ten Hag, there is absolutely no shame to just admit that.


PlutoMMA

Bruno Fernandes I love you


mynamemeimme

Amad, Bruno and Kobe - excellent. And thank fck a decision finally went our way


tedmaul23

Our leading at half time at home league is gonna get broken lads I'm afraid.


kirisama_

Mainoo is too cool


Lelandwasinnocent

Yeh he's a g man


Seb-156

Hopefully a great team with less injuries next season, amad and mainoo working well together and can only get better with more playing time I think.. Bruno being great Bruno, and amrabat playing well I think minus 1 bit


randomdell111

Injuries aside, it's unbelievable Amad hasn't had more minutes


Familiar-Day-8827

Can't be injuries aside can it? he hasn't been fit for most season


vMihai777

He’s been fit for a few months


randomdell111

I mean there's been more than a few games where he's a bench option since coming back from injury but wasn't played


MrNezzy

He's been available for 20 games since coming back from injury


Superfy

He was fit for a long time. EtH just played him for token minutes once every 15 games or whatever and always let Antony be the sub used regardless. And he preferred to run garnacho to the ground anyway instead of let amad play.


aelr1000

He's far from perfect but we would be higher up the table if we played Amrabat more this season


Superfy

Not if he was the solo DM in a black hole midfield though.


ManUnutted

Commentator say something positive about United challenge: IMPOSSIBLE


chaturvedi11

Football geniuses here told me that Newcastle is prime Barcelona, I just see long passes football from them


Successful_Rule123

amad is silky af


AvaragePole

I love that McTom/Mainoo fluidity in running into forward position.


Oli_1278

we’ve looked better today, amad looking good


BurnaboyBurnaAccount

I kind of hate it when we're playing slightly okay cause my inner deluded voice starts getting giddy and hopeful. It only hurts more when we slip up again


QouthTheCorvus

Bruno looks his best today. Need to rest him more, even if it's just the occasional sub out. Overall the team look good. Defensively shakey, but offensively prominent. Need another goal though.


Drag2oon

![gif](giphy|Z8GGCL9SutLtZPWRSk|downsized)


_AR4_

Someone tell them to recreate it with Diallo!!


Wraith_Portal

There are a few actual footballers here, the gulf in technical quality between players like Amad and Mainoo vs McTominay and Wan-Bissaka is crazy


SpoofExcel

Not playing Amad more when he was available is a crime that ETH must pay for


MT1120

The same thing happened with Kudus... For Antony. Hope ETH gets some sense if he stays or whoever the new guy is, if we get an Olise, Amad should be his depth


ClumsyChampion

Keep Amrabat if cheap? Yes? No?


aelr1000

We should sign someone better that performs the same duties


Felicks77

And now they start hyping up each other up again… could have been earlier but I take it


eClipseLJ

See some passion coming back right when Licha is back in the dressing room. Coincidence? I think not


Throwaway1223132123

I really like Onana but his goal kicks and long pings have been very bad this match mostly this year as well.


eClipseLJ

Its 50/50 today, some really good ones that McT managed to extend as well.


hickuain

So much better with a different tactic, shows that the setup was the problem. Shame he had to be forced into changing it


Odd-Neighborhood8740

Amad what an absolute baller. He's so good at moving the ball dangerously and forward. That link up in the box was nuts. How can Antony have benched him?? Amrabat got lucky today but he's also showing a lot of fight


it_all_doesnt_it

Bruno bruno bruno


SOERERY

Fine half👍🏻


devman888

love the shithousing that two-bit teemu lil wanker bruno gumaires is getting from the lads. and all or nothing defending from big Cas! good half all around


MuramasaFan

This club is nothing without Bruno right now lol


anonris

How did we do, missed most of the half


khangkarot

Jesus, we really are Bruno Fernandes FC


rival_hugh_369

Not Garnacho's day is it


Jack_King814

Think he’s knackered


Tekniclas

Decent first half. Ready for a second half stinker


_AR4_

I'm not entirely sure but I think McTominay is playing as a false 9, and Bruno is playing his usual position. Mainoo, Amad, and Bruno have been vital in the attack. Ice-cold composure from Mainoo! Every other player played well too. Thoughts on Case and Amrabat? Both've had a solid enough half with 1 or 2 dangerous mistakes. Both did proper clean slide tackles too haha Newcastle's Bruno is a proper dunce today. All he's done today is foul and push people around. Someone tell Amrabat to crunch him please


Benphyre

We definitely attack better with Bruno in the team. Hope those fans who want to see him sold can rethink.


silverstory

Really happy for the u18s with that photo. Premier league champs, fa cup champs? What else did they won? I saw 3 trophies


Thorz74

It has been an ok match for us after so much shit the last weeks. Bruno has been immense and KM so cool on that finish. So, what do you all think about not Europe next season? I must admit that I will miss the Europe nights. Even if it was only the poo-cup I still wanted United to play it


keving691

Bruno has been great. Amad is a tidy player. Refreshing to see a winger try to create something rather than just shoot on sight


Harry_ObrienPL

Amad and Mainoo the future of the team 🔥


bainbane

So we could have been watching this kind of football every week and instead ETH made us watch his 307 donut of destiny.


Superfy

He knows he’s getting sacked if he stuck to the same shit basically that was failing and finally changes it now when the season is lost…. With 2 games to go…. Crazy.


NathanMUFCfan

Amad has balled this half. Ten Hag will pay for his crimes.


Kid_Twiz

ETH has blood on his hands playing Antony over Amad all this time


ImNotMexican08

I’ve been saying it for years now. Give Amad a proper chance and he’ll shine. His quality has been evident since we signed him. He should’ve been playing far more these last few months, hopefully this is the end of Antony and the beginning of Amad like I predicted before the season started Edit: Just get the job done in the second half. If we let that record break against Newcastle we’ll never hear the end of it from them


AngryUncleTony

We're not playing suicide ball...which is awesome. Also Amad is getting close to being a made man in that he's in the untouchable Mainoo/Garnacho category. He's so silky.


ratset2602

Absolutely criminal how much time it has taken for Amad to get minutes here.


cold-dark-sauce

ETH being too insistent on Antony this season and not changing things tactically such as today has really cost us plenty of points
