He has just come to form in the last 3 weeks. Plus his general play can be so frustrating, especially when he doesn't score a goal or provide an assist. The criticism has been justified for most of the season, it doesn't change just because he has hit good form.

He is not world class
Bruno Fernandes has immense talent,quality,the goal against Liverpool at Old Trafford was of the top drawer and the left footed strike against Sheffield Utd tonight was world class, but he can blow hot and cold,at times his performance dips and he cuts a sorry figure on the pitch
Bruno's antics are his weakness but there's no denying his talent, work rate and dedication. A player who's overplayed like him is bound to have bouts of poor form but he steps up when others don't. At his age I'd be looking at a move to win trophies and as a United fan I'd hate to see him go but I'd totally understand.

United fans we happy with the results but disappointed with the performance but again we had casemiro playing as centre back ten hag has been very good at adapting with the injuries no other manager would have survived with that current backline
I hate it when people say without this players goals the team would be so and so in the league. Like with no Bruno would Utd just play with 10 men 🤯
Yes, he's had bad games... sometimes gone missing in the big games but people forget that he's a high risk high reward type of player. It's no coincidence that he plays far much better for the Portugal national team... this is because Portugal national team has better players than United. Also, whenever he shines few talk about it especially the Press who are always kind of witch hunting United especially Ten Hag. Pochetino is having arguably a worst season than Ten Hag but the Press NEVER calls him out. I strongly believe that if United gets better players in the Summer, Bruno Fernandes will be far than what he is for United presently. He still tries to create chances but they are not converted and so many a time his quality is not noticed. He gives the ball away a couple of times because he's a high risk high reward player. Unfortunately only few understands this. No matter what anyone says Bruno Fernandes is a good player that gives his all when on the pitch. This is my opinion.

@@Chidori_stream if you take every set piece, and play every game, of course chances created are going to be high. Also, understand what stats people quantify as a chance. The last pass before any attempt at goal. Do you really watch United and believe he is creative, or do you just look at the stats. Against a highline, i give him that. Without doubt, we have one of the laziest football fan bases in football.
Bruno has ONE good game and all of a sudden the criticism is unfair? It's not about goals and assists, it's about his overall game. And his overall game has been below par for a very long time. But, I will praise people when they perform. Take away the goals and assist, he had a much better game than we normally get from him. Calmer on the ball, making better passes and not kicking it away as soon as he gets it. We need to be better in possession of the ball. Not having Rashford in the team, but also playing Eriksen helped alot with that.

Some sense amongst the nonsense. Well done Sir 👏 👍
He's class, has been since he joined.
Not addressing the VAR and ref decisions is the real disgrace
It is absolutely unfair and we ignore other players who do exactly the same thing on media darling teams with respect to the "moaning." He was villified so much at the time he threw his hands in the air against Liverpool that it's entirely ruined his reputation. He covers more ground than anyone else, creates more chances than anyone in the league, tries to drop back and do everything sometimes with teammates not on his level, and understandably gets frustrated when they aren't doing what they should be. Totally underprotected by refs when constantly fouled because he's apparently a "moaner," whereas serial divers beloved by the press get away with it time after time
At present we're only at least a couple of years behind the top 3 but we should be only 1 year or equal by now but due to EtH over spending & not bringing in the necessary players to give us the depth to deal with a 65 game season. This is what Ronaldo wanted the club to have a chance to succeed but EtH is the reason why we've lost so many games at the half way point cos he was hanging his players out to dry & he's at fault for 6 out of the 12 losses due to poor summer transfers where we want 6 players & only got 3, poor decisions making, poor preparations, poor assessment, poor team selection, poor squad usages & poor In-game management so his Job is definitely under review due to his underperformance as Manager of our Club. Conclusion We recruit EtH to come to our Club as an Approved Coach cos he definitely isn't a Manager in our books so he deserves the Sack so It's best for EtH & his team to pack their bags & go back to Ajax to reinvent himself & bring back Ole & his new management team (Ole & his 3 wise men)! Keep it in the family!

The best advice we're prepare to offer is EtH & his team should pack their bags & go back to Ajax to reinvent himself! Keep it in the family!
I have no arguments about his attitude he is the captain of our football club he expects the best of the players that he is the captain of he should have an attitude if his players are not playing the way he wants and he knows the way they can play

Bruno and the rest looked good against Sheffield United because they are a championship side. It's typical flat track bullying wen the season is done.
Premier league, apart from being the best league, is also one of the most demanding ones and Bruno has a huge weight over his shoulders, but he's not the one, who people have criticized. Think of Lio Messi when he got criticized by not winning with Argentina, nevertheless he had enough perseverance to get stronger and then he won Qatar world cup with Argentinian team. So, earning everyone's respect takes a little bit time.
Bruno's stats speak for themselves. OK, sometimes he moans a bit and throws his arms up, but that's down to him wanting to win and wants his team mates to want to win. Always puts 100% in for Man Utd , sometimes tries a worldy pass when a simple one would be better but overall invaluable to Utd and it would be nice if all United's players showed as much commitment. One or two haven't this year and everyone knows who they are !
You got to give it to him, the guy doesn’t miss any game even when he’s injured. His problem is he wants to be everywhere in the pitch and it’s not effective or possible. One of the reasons he tries every blade is because Rashford is like a missing player or 10 men.
Bruno is also Portugal top two key player

Not top two. Top one. I say this as a portuguese. He's been our best player since before the last WC.
People still here going at the man who actually creates the second most chances in Europe top 5 leagues. If we had better forwards his assists total would’ve been up by a lot. Yes he’ll misplace some passes but that’s due to the type of passes he plays which was known before he was signed. He gets more hate from the English media and people than Rashford who plays like crap due to not being from there.
Never once criticised his ability, but his attitude is not the best. He has improved last few games though, but needs to be more consistent
If he keeps scoring adn assisint ghte way he is, anything is forgivable. But jsut because you're scornig, doesng mean you can't improve as a leader. Better composure. Better discipline. Better emotional stability.
No one: Sky Sports: "Why is Bruno Fernandes being criticized?" Everyone: "None of us said anything" Sky Sports: "Does he deserve the criticism?"
All the stats about shots faced by MUFC, The True Stat should be Shots On Target. Bet its not high but the won't show that stat. Bruno is Out Performing his contemporaries in the Leagues and the media still try to make it about his attitude. Class is Class and the Media Lacks it
The criticism is...that he's so good, why not do it all the time, especially when it comes to his shooting! He can score from anywhere on the pitch, with either foot!

How come Sky doesn't talk about how poor Newcastle and Chelsea have been?
You wonder where UTD would be without him? What type of comments is this? He is paid to do exactly what he is doing. Where would be Liverpool without Salah or van Dijk?

What a coincidence! Rashford was not in the team. Please do not worship Rashford because he is an academy product. He has been very poor and the team has been better without him. Let’s not be emotional and be more realistic. Rashford needs to be on the bench and try to earn a starting spot rather than think he is the celebrity starter at united. A kick in the back bum and reality check is what these type of players needs. But the united hierarchy needs to step up and back the manager rather than being popular with the players and press.
