I donβt watch much football aside from United. Id appreciate comments from anyone that follows football more than me re: how Sporting play. His role in the team. Did he play off someone? If so it may explain why Ole played him deep on his debut as we have no one to play him off.

There are United fans on here who - because he’s got a reputation for scoring goals and getting assists - will tell you he is a number 10. These people are wrong. He’s a number 8.

Ssshhhh
The last thing we need is Bruno at 8 with Lingard or Pereira still at 10.

Neither Fred or McT are DM’s, they are box to box midfielders. I rate them as better players than Matic but for the sake of balance, I’d use the Serbian, because he’s the only guy who naturally slots in at DM. He’s actually been in decent form recently as well.
.....Pogba.............Fernandes
...................Matic
Buy Ndidi in the summer to replace Matic, keep Pogba and we have a midfield which can potentially compete with any team in the world.

π. Right now we don’t. With McGuire we can’t rely on Matic.

And Ole doesn't want to play 3 in midfield for whatever reason.

Thank you. I feel slightly patronised watching it but only because I don’t know it. When I was 14 I enjoyed match and shoot and knew the first team and subs of the 92, how tall they were and how much they weighed (sticker books don’t compare nowadays). It’s hard to admit I’m not a football fan anymore. Such is circumstance. I remain a Red x

Yeah wish he’d think about doing so. Pogba is wasted anywhere else (not that he’s brilliant there either) but you want to get the best from him and that’s how you’d do it.

I don't watch as much football these days either, especially European matches. So I also didn't know much about him.

No need to feel like that - I think you’ll find very few United fans who had seen Bruno play more than a couple of times before he signed.
The video is pretty spot on in its analysis if that’s any help.
