Bruno Fernandes.. penalty taker..

I think he’s the best I’ve ever seen for united. I never for a second think he will miss. His career conversion is 91 percent. Has netted 53 out of 58 pens in his career and 29 out of 33 for united. Quite impressive.

Last nights penalty was brilliant. The keeper made a fair attempt at getting to it.

Cantona only missed one didn't he. If my memory serves me correct, he sent the keeper the wrong way every time.

He missed two. One v Leeds and one v Blackburn. Both in his final season.

Bruno has taken a lot more pens than Cantona.

Cantona was the best pen taker. He might not have taken as many as others but his were quality. Scored 2 pens in the FA Cup Final once. And made a bet with Dennis Wise that he wouldnt miss them, on the pitch, just before he took them. Fair play, Wise apparently coughed up later.

Is 2 really 'a lot' more?

Assuming the stats above are correct of course, I'm happy for you to provide others.

I wouldn't say 2, over the course of years, is 'a lot more'.

He's a fantastic penalty taker, regardless.

I never said he wasn’t. All I said was Eric would push him close.
