[@travisbicklefeels8780]

I like bruno but what about when he's rolling around on the floor after diving, I don't think that's captainly, he would need to cut that stuff out in my opinion

[@deangreen2567]

@@travisbicklefeels8780 It’s the modern game unfortunately mate. Ronaldo does it and he’s a captain, Sergio Ramos wasn’t any different, Busquets is the Barca captain and a chronic cheat, same goes for lots of others.

[@Lawless411]

Great interview Adam, well worded questions and no interrupting the flow of Bruno’s awnsers. A passionate, determined player who just wants to win and also speaks very well

[@b.alexanderjohnstone9774]

Well said Patrick. I hadn't even noticed that which says it all, as you say.

[@thesovereignmillennial]

Interviewer and Bruno both 200 IQ, loved it. Not a second wasted, clean crisp interview.

[@Rithan4]

You can see the emotion when the talked about Ole. Sad to imagine him having the worst day of his life at Man United 😔😔

[@thetrappedchatterbox7941]

Did he know the camera was on? Haven't seen that open and honest an interview with an active player in a very long time. That's the type of chat you get with someone whose years retired. Great man

[@linuxjodi4311]

I know right, the honesty and how well he expressed himself thru words, emotions, that's a visionary leader innate in him.. Kudos for the Athletic for making this happen..

[@adelekedeboye1518]

I think the calm demeanor of the interviewer played a great part in that too. He left him to express himself as much as he would like.

[@NvFranco]

Bruno is a journalists dream, ask one question, get five answers! Lol love his passion for football

[@quattrobajeena8623]

Imagine if he had the same passion but responds to journalists like Kimi Raikonnen lmao

Fantastic interview great work by Adam and The Athletic.. How can you not like Bruno if You're a United fan.. he truly loves the club

[@zahirabbasmogul4660]

I am in love with bruno that ole bit was heart touching my respect for bruno has doubled

[@rg6982]

Some of these questions are asked extremely well... U can tell Bruno respected them, which is why he gave excellent answers!

[@TheIdleTown]

Adam is a top notch interviewer and Bruno is the REAL captain of MUFC.

[@Hornbillishere]

This is one of the best interviews from Bruno i have seen so far. The guy is a proper leader, and I especially liked how he set the record clear with Ole.

[@FA-ir6oo]

I suspect this video was meant to be 1 part but Bruno explains everything so passionately and Adam let him express himself fully, they had to make it 2 parts😄.Hoping U and the team improve on the pitch.Love you Bruno❤

[@mrsastre9404]

Small detail but he’s English is absolutely brilliant for a non native speaker. There’s some corrections but on the whole it’s very impressive. Great professional.

[@GeoFitzz]

As an Englishman it’s equally impressive as it is embarrassing for me when he speaks and understands English so well and I know maybe 10 Portuguese words.

[@linuxjodi4311]

He mentioned Tom Heaton.. ❤️❤️ Now that's a real leadership there..

[@brachialplexus100]

There we go, clear as day. Just like we all thought. Ten Hag bringing the discipline, stability and philosphy of play that we all know this club needed.

[@jowairyahelbadrawy]

You can't be a Man United fan and hate Bruno, a true leader on the pitch and a passionate fan for United off the pitch, always wants the best for the club, the players and the fans, should be our captain right away.

[@davidtuer5825]

You can't be a United fan (supporter) and hate any United player. Hate is a horrible word, look up what the word means. Here's a few others that should never be used in the context of supporting a club, vile, despicable, useless, rubbish. You are not the club, the players and the manager and the history define the club, especially the history. You are not the crowd in the Colosseum watching gladiators kill each other for an afternoon of pleasure, you are there because you love the club, its players, its manager and its history and you are there to support them.

[@markwaine2975]

What a charming chap Bruno is; we have an absolute gem. Great interview.

[@gershomtan5879]

Our best signing of the past decade. Our heart and soul on and off the pitch. Oh captain my captain.

[@imanafdar]

Yes best signing after Ronaldo

[@98jf5]

The difference between this interview and Maguire’s interview with Neville shows why Bruno should be permanent captain

[@chinmaypurohit3431]

He is incredibly honest and well spoken. I haven’t seen that even from the greats like Gerard Rio Scholes or Lampard, who were very diplomatic English Homegrown boys. Never this straightforward. I obviously hate him on the pitch but I love him for how much he cares about his club.

[@googlethis4225]

Brilliant interview this. I already liked Bruno but now I like him even more as our future captain.

[@alanb9504]

Very intelligent, measured, honest, and aware! Already a Man Utd legend! 👿

[@brianogorman7752]

Only with trophies. We are not West Ham.

[@ragecandy]

Bruno has the best or second best stats on literally everything in the whole team and people still claim he is a problem, the man has been playing for the whole team since he arrived...

[@In_fallible]

He's just so professional❤️

[@alankoh8143]

A true captain with or without armband. 🔥🥂✊

[@dk7mkd74]

If ever there is a Utd version of All Or Nothing, Bruno would be prominently featured!

[@gavinthegoliath]

I can't see united letting them, as much as I want to see it, I used to work in one of the hospitality suites and staff have a long, pretty low paid day, with a free sandwich. But its hard for us to get around the club. For some reason I can't see all or nothing going united, as much as I would love it

[@menace2cool]

I love how accountable he is

[@Account_CB]

This is why Bruno must be captain now & make Varane VC. Bruno spoke from the heart here...good & bad. Maguire just has no personality & would never do an interview like this, he would only sound robotic & he could never give the fans that insight into the ups & downs of being at the club... Easily one of the best interviews of a Utd player in a decade!! Bruno has done himself the world of good here...the passion he spoke with & that will to win came through & I don't think there is a Utd fan now who will not be 100% behind him - it was a vital interview for the club & ETH's vision. His attitude is first class. Let's hope ETH keeps Maguire & Shaw well out of the picture & creates a unity with the players that won against Liverpool & Arsenal. It will take this whole season & maybe another 6 months before ETH embeds his philosophy but with Bruno, now ETH has a leader on the pitch trying to get the players on the same page. I just want Bruno now to start scoring & creating & the confidence will go through the roof.

[@evaa4242]

👍

[@brianogorman7752]

The evidence is there. Team totally transformed since Shaw & Maguire dropped. Just need Varane to keep fit & hope Malacia can stay consistent all season.

[@kimbuoy1]

Hopefully, you will realize soon enough that you cannot win anything with only 11 players. You need a full squad playing at their best and highly motivated. The heart of your post (I assume it is United's success) is perfect but the Maguire slander was unnecessary and ironic. Support the TEAM. That is any and EVERY body that pulls on that Red Shirt and hope for each of them to be at their best.

[@Account_CB]

@@kimbuoy1 I understand the sentiment of your response, & i am very aware success is based on an entire squad. I have supported this club since 1992..I have lived the successes & the failures..(the biggest failure being last season's horror show) Not once in that time have I seen a 'captain' so inept at his role than Maguire - both playing & off the field captaincy. This is not slander, it is a sad fact. You only need to compare Bruno's passion, character & words to an interview Maguire did last season where he proclaimed he must be 'doing something right, as he has been picked to start by both managers'...EVERY interview he has given whether win, lose or draw has predominantly sounded the same '...we must do better, there are things to improve etc etc'...yet he will step onto the pitch & its like he has ignored his own advice!! No successful manager or team, throws a player like Maguire into the starting line up in the hope that he may have a good game & risk losing points/ultimately trophies - See what Klopp did with Gomez at halftime after his absent defending vs Napoli? & Pep will only ever play Ake if he has no alternative. Maguire is the only player i have seen at Utd in 3 decades who carries such a high profile & price tag but when chosen, brings such a nervousness to the whole team that to utilise him is so much more of a risk to morale & focus on the pitch than it is worth....case in point - 3 losses this season when he started - 7 goals conceded + captained the side vs 4 straight wins without him & with Bruno as captain & 2 goals conceded. I am not suggesting this statistic will continue all season however it is enough evidence (not even from my view point, but thankfully that of ETH), that Maguire represents too much instability to risk points. I would love Maguire, AWB & Shaw to be a success but there must come a point where given the chances they have had...that either time is up or they humble themselves, work hard, prove to ETH & the team they are competent & can be trusted. Maguire's performances are sufficient evidence he mustn't be anywhere near this team until he shows he can be trusted...same as Shaw. On the other hand, I & most Utd supporters have seen such improvement in McTominay that he at least is proving he can learn & i admire his character & focus given his & the team's poor prior season. Fans will always support a player if they see on & off the pitch, that they can improve through hard work & concentration. Maguire should be looking at McTominay's attitude & learning that is how he can earn the fans respect...but by feeding his family & friends this idea that he is being unjustly targeted is yet another indication of his poor judgement & a huge indictment on his decision making as 'official' club captain. Having a squad of 25 players is necessary for success I agree but if there are players in that squad who are clearly not upto the task & have a detrimental effect on the squad's morale, it would be nonsense to suggest using them just on the basis of rotation.

[@evaa4242]

[@yusufabas6169]

That's what we call class professionalism and putting yourself in normal fans shoes when answering questions while maintaining the dignity of others,acknowledging others unseen effort in the dressing room like Tom Heaton,this is the same guy who introduced Anthony Elanga's brilliance to the fans before he even started playing in the first team,he was just training with the first team at that moment,and Bruno Clearly said"it doesn't matter who I play with as no.9,be it ronny,rashy,sometimes Mata and even Antony who is a young brilliant lad" put a like in this comment so that I'll remember this interview for decades to come🤌

I find it astounding that Maguire is still the captain. United has Ronaldo, Bruno, DDG, Varane and Casemiro and I cannot imagine how it must feel to be captained my someone with 4 relegations to his name and now he cannot even get into the starting line up.

[@evaa4242]

Honestly. The reason I really don't sympathize with OLE much. He brought the Maguire rubbish on the Club. Who decides to make a Maguire captain while there is De Gea in the club? When Ten Haag maintained Maguire, I was NOT happy cos I felt that will guarantee his starts just cos he is a Captain. Remember what Maguire said that if he was playing well, the 2 coaches will not be featuring him in games. What guts! Anyways, I still blame OLE for the Horns that Maguire especially and Luke Shaw have grown in that Club.

[@evaa4242]

If he was NOT playing well***

[@aniketvagha7081]

Best explanation of Ralf Rangnick's reign. It was probably naive of him to think a beaten up set of players would take to geggenpressing right off the bat! The team probably needed a more adaptive coaching, going back to basics, becoming hard to beat. Things that ETH did after Brentford. Ralf missed an opportunity there IMHO.

[@Muslimoftheuniverse]
