Loads of teams could have bought him but hesitated.
Man u pulled the trigger and he fits them well. Can't see a flood of teams wanting him on the back of what he has done because he would cost silly money (as under a huge contract and already cost more than anyone else was prepared to pay)
At a bigger/click team he cannot be as wasteful or take as many high risks but at United he fits perfectly, as they have a shortage of them players.
I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but Bruno seems to have a good mentality.
New club, new league, new country, thrown into the mix straight away. Plays well most games with contributions and then has 1 average/poor (by his standards) against Norwich. Then next game - he regains his quality and scores twice.
I've known about his captain style mentality, but this guy is really having a positive impact for us.
His pairing with Pogba is proving to be successful. Pogba showing positive signs that he wants to play, and more importantly he is enjoying playing in this team again.
It's also a bonus that both these players are similar ages and will enter their 'peak years' soon - hopefully together with us.
With bog-average journeyfolk like Gashford and Coco in front of/behind them, I'm just grateful the likes of Fernandes, Pogba and Mata haven't just walked away already.
Not a sign of an aspirational club........

Do you not think (just being realistic) that both of these players, in their peak years, will want to compete and win things?? If that isn't at United are you not worried they'll both go.

So many other clubs looked at him and thought naa but hes proving them wrong. Lets see how he does when the new season starts. At the moment he is playing against teams who are on the beach.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brighton might need to get back from the beach if they get any closer to the relegation zone, don't you think?
Fack me.

To be honest mate it'll just be the same with you lot and Sadio Mane soon. I see Salah has come out on BBC saying he wants to stay for a long time, but mark my words, Mane will be off to Madrid in 12 months or so.

Proof?
I think at clubs like United and Liverpool, assuming they're competitive, there's rarely a long held desire to leave and it more comes down to specific events or situations.
Apart from Ronaldo, I can't think of many players that have wanted to leave - and that was to fulfil his boyhood dream.
Liverpool are successful at the moment and there's no reason for players to want away, but that doesn't mean a big bid from Real, Barca etc. wouldn't turn a player's head.

Yeah recently we've had the likes of Coutinho, Suarez and Mascherano leave due to that affection for Barcelona in South American players. Plus Torres leaving due to us being $hit and Alonso due to the way he was treated. I think our big players will be here for a while yet unless we want to move them on or we turn to $hit.

I think you're moving into a period as a club that you haven't seen for over 30 years - even the players above left before you'd really hit any heights.
Players might still fancy a move. Playing in Spain for Barca or Real is massive.
It could happen, I just don't think there's any reason to be unhappy at Liverpool at present, so it makes it less likely.
As for United - obviously if we crash and burn then players might angle for a move but Bruno has only just arrived! No chance he'll be thinking about anything other than United for at least 2 years.
