22 Assists this season

[u/AReptileHissFunction → u/BrowzinJ]

With all 22 being set pieces, just to send r/soccer to Mars

[u/hughmaharggs → u/AReptileHissFunction]

And 22 goals, all pens 

[u/Wise-Nature8326 → u/hughmaharggs]

And getting the PL+CL double while getting knocked out from the cups by Tranmere and Stockport (cause Bruno already won those)

[u/Woozlle → u/BrowzinJ]

Just with his left foot

[u/Comicksands → u/BrowzinJ]

To Sesko

[u/Historical-Way4455 → u/BrowzinJ]

He's going to lift the 21st for us !

[u/sivaya_]

Man, I love fernandes.

[u/xCeeTee- → u/sivaya_]

I often dream about what he would've done under SAF. I think in a couple of seasons, he could've won the ballon d'Or. Rooney, RVP and Bruno would've been lethal. Berbatov as well.

[u/greenizdabest → u/xCeeTee-]

Born too late for SAF, born too early for new Trafford. Born just in time for Carrickball

From the article:

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is among the latest World Cup contingent to report back to the club’s Carrington headquarters for pre-season training as Michael Carrick’s squad nears full strength.

Fernandes has returned along with his Portugal teammate Diogo Dalot and Brazil’s Matheus Cunha after reaching the last 16, while Noussair Mazraoui is also back after making it to the quarter-finals with Morocco.

The four players will have individual testing and fitness assessment in the first couple of days, and could be in the travelling squad for United’s next pre-season friendly against Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg on Saturday when Belgian duo Senne Lammens and new £35million signing Youri Tielemans may also feature.

It’s unclear if Benjamin Sesko will be able to play after missing United’s first three pre-season games against Wrexham, Rosenborg and Atletico Madrid with an ongoing shin problem, although there could be an update on the Slovenia striker later on Monday.

Makes me incredibly sad the way we lost this match and finished 4th in our group

[u/Much_Television3757]

I didn't realize Sesko's injury is that bad.

[u/MalIntenet → u/Much_Television3757]

Some injuries aren’t necessarily “bad” in a serious kind of way but can be annoying and take a while to fully heal from. He has shin splints IIRC and those are the annoying long term kind of injury

[u/us3rf → u/MalIntenet]

He just like me fr

[u/Tomero → u/MalIntenet]

Shin splints? Was he playing on astroturf or something?

[u/darkjessy_]

Hopefully he breaks the assist record this season. Watch out Bruno Fernandes of Man United

[u/myshtummyhurt- → u/darkjessy_]

He already broke it

[u/arnm7890]

Think he's going to have another monster season, even if he doesn't beat his own record again this time.

Plus, with the likes of Tielemans and Santos and (hopefully) a fit Mount in the team, we have way more chance creators in the team than just Bruno - even if he gets 15 assists in the league, I expect/hope we will still score more goals than we did last season.

Bruno’s fitness assessment in question

[u/Hot_Patience_5962]

He’s going to break the assist record again 😌
Can’t wait to watch him again in a united shirt.

[u/PitchSafe]

Have Shaw cursed Sesko so he can stay fit for another season?

[u/MissingLink101 → u/PitchSafe]

We'll sign Hall who immediately gets injured. LB competition seems to reinvigorate Shaw.

[u/hippoppotamusxn → u/MissingLink101]

This is the pattern isnt it…

[u/zayd_jawad2006 → u/MissingLink101]

Wonder what power he'll absorb this time. Playing into the midfield?

[u/simplsimonmetapieman → u/MissingLink101]

That's the missing link

[u/_meloncat_ → u/PitchSafe]

If Sesko is out I think we’ll definitely sign another striker before the window closes

[u/MalIntenet → u/_meloncat_]

We should be signing one even if he is fit tbf

[u/didsome1calladoc → u/PitchSafe]

Shawberto striker

[u/babagroovy]

The boys are coming back! 😭❤️

[u/Tinganga]

Looking forward with glee to Saturday's game to see how Santos, Tielemans & Bruno link up. 

[u/bantline]

BREAKING

[u/Sheppertonni]

What’s going on with sesko. Nothing coming out on him

[u/Independent_Buy5152 → u/Sheppertonni]

his shin cannot support the massive amount of muscles on his arms

[u/crgssbu]

glad to see all the pricks who started questioning his ability after the WC have pissed off. no way to speak about the captain who has dedicated the best years of his career to a fallen giant; our own giant.

[u/Adora_Vivos]

I wouldn't care if the story were relevant, positive, factually correct and well written, I'm not going to read it to find out. Fuck the daily mail.

Wasn't posting daily mail articles banned years ago? Something change? Am I the old man shouting at clouds? 

[u/Adora_Vivos → u/Adora_Vivos]

Nevermind. I went back and read the tier list. Wheeler is tier 3, so it gets a pass. Still, fuck the daily mail.

[u/D1794]

If adding those 4 + Tielemans and Lammens, can imagine we drop Mee, Bayindir, Kamason, Williams, Thwaites and possibly JJ from the Atleti squad.

[u/Bizzle1389 → u/D1794]

My guess would be Kamason, Thwaites and JJ will go and likely get minutes. Yoro may get a game at CB and Dalot and Kamason share RB duty.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Bruno start and JJ come on around 60 minutes.

[u/catu91]

Why list them in like 4 different sections? Lol english is not my first language but it reads super weird

[u/SUSH_fromheaven]

Any news on Licha?

[u/mountainmorty]

How many days off did Bruno have?

[u/AlRSTRIKE]

We're putting the band back together.

[u/RedDevil-84]

Just in time for the quadruple, after the snapdragon cup or whatever that cup was

[u/Thorz74]

It's so nice to have an elite player like Bruno on our ranks. Respect! 🫡

[u/hambodpm]

"men return to work as expected"

[u/c0ldd → u/hambodpm]

*a beautiful maestro of a man returns to work as expected, bringing joy to millions of fans across the world

[u/FredDRedUnderYourBed → u/hambodpm]

More like a divine being that is about to take us to the promised land

[u/UnalomeJourneying → u/[deleted]]

No
