Bruno Fernandes: Manchester United Player

Judging by everything I have read about him, he's exactly the type of character we need.

Welcome Bruno.
 
No “It’s a dream come true because I’ve always dreamt of playing for Manchester United since I was kid” ??

No “They are the biggest club in the world” ??

No “They are the best team, I’m so delighted to be part of these exciting projects” ??

No “I’ve been always United fans from my childhood” ??

Get Bruno out!!
 
It's just semantics. I meant Ole's preferred system is 1 defensively minded CM (matic / mctominay), 1 ball carrier types (Pogba / Fred), #10 (Bruno, Pereira). Obviously each one can do a different role - Pereira played at CM with a #10 infront sometimes, Fred was asked to be the DM some games and Pogba can play #8 or #10 equally well.



I think it'll be Pogba / Fred for RCM. McTominay / Matic LCM.

Bruno will be #10, he won't play the Mata role from the right.
I've no doubt Bruno was signed to be our long term CAM but I have seen him assist quite a few goals from the right side so he must be comfortable there also. We probably won't be signing a top class RW this window so I think the lineup I suggested is definitely the way to go for the remainder of this season as all our other mid/att options are a massive downgrade.

I mean, he was 9 when Ronaldo joined and said he watched him at United. So yeah, fan since childhood :p
 
With Matic on a red card does it mean Fernandes goes straight into the side?
 
Can't wait to see him on Saturday. Hopefully he has a real impact between now and May.
 
On the plus side he doesn't lose it anywhere near as much as Pereira or Lingard, so that's a bonus.

Oh I know, but I'm just hoping we show some patience.

Imagine the pressure of taking the number of one of the greatest legends at this club. I hope Bruno is as good servant as Ashley Young was for us.

Haaaaaaaahahaha

What you did there, I see it.
 
Can we please fix the title of this thread? Sporting is not and has never been “Sporting Lisbon” Lisbon is not even in our name....... can we at least get the name of the club right please?

Sporting Clube De Portugal OR Sporting CP OR just Sporting.

We are not “Sporting Lisbon”.

That is such a Sporting Benfica Lisbon thing to post. Have a rest mate

I wonder why people doubt when a foreign player says he was a childhood united fan,am a nigerian and am a childhood united fan, i've watched united my entire life,the club is bigger than some people think it is u know
 
Last night he had the strangest dream
He sailed away to Old Trafford
In a little row boat to Rashford
 
I watched all his goals and assists from last season and the first thing that struck me was how poor the Portuguese goal keepers are.

Looks a playernthough glad to have him

Welcome to the biggest football club in the world Bruno
 
Wow we have actually managed to complete a signing!!!

Good luck Bruno!

Wonder where we would have been if we had signed him in the summer/ earlier in the window! Did we actually manage to get his price down or did we end up paying asking price in the end?

Does he speak English? I haven't had a chance to watch any of his interviews yet as just got in?

We paid less than they asked in summer, with the add ons it will probably be around 65mil

We are building a new culture when it comes to signing players and unveiling them. It’s a process and it takes time. We should all be patient. We need to build the walls before we can change the roof.
 
Welcome Bruno Fernandes:drool:
I think he will be a great signing.

Cant wait to see him play,hope he goes straight into the starting line up.
 
Dont think reds in the league cup carry over to the league?

Edit: or maybe that got changed. No idea.
Aye, red cards count across all competitions, yellow only only count in the competition you take part in for 5 yellows equals a red.

Love hearing things like this from our world wide fans. Makes you appriciate how much bigger than a football club we are to touch so many people.
 
Poor bastard doesn't know what he's got himself in for!

Hope he smashes it.
