Bruno leaving their full-back (Young?) on his arse as he skinned him in the first half in front of the Stretford End.

He did something similar in a home game in front of the North Stand.

His technique is so good he can leave defenders on their arse as he skips on by.

Anyone else shout ‘do your turn’ to Gross just before he did it to leave Young on his arse? Everyone knows Gross lives the slow-mo cruyff but it works every ****ing time. Amazing technique that lad

Bruno is a class act, I'm glad we have him, he shows what can be done at an age if you look after yourself.
Plus the nimbleness is all down to his gluten free 'diet' IMO

Gross's Cruyff turn early second half. Lovely commentary by WA having just watched the highlights on Player.

Yeah, exactly that! He's done it 10 or so times this season and it's worked a charm every time

I thought Ashley Young looked incredibly suspect yesterday, but the MOTD experts were creaming over him.

I am the same age as Bruno. I have a gluten free diet. I played a match today*. I can now barely walk. I am not a class act.





Admittedly my first in 14 months.

It was incredibly lazy punditry. Let’s focus on someone, it has to be the big team who won, but they were not very good so let’s focus on the goalscorer. Pathetic.

If anything they could have spent five minutes talking about Dunk Duffy. How many centre halves run the length of the pitch, play a one two with their striker and get a shot at goal. They should have been creaming themselves over that. Especially an away player at Old Trafford. It was incredible.

And Dunk did this twice. What a player he has become.

I thought, watching it on TV that he was by far MOM and a constant threat to us tearing Bruno and AK to pieces on our right hand side.

Young was their biggest threat going forward but an absolute liability defending. He's no full back.
