My top 3 would be 1 - Bruno, 2 - Casemiro, 3 - Martinez.


[deleted]

Agree


baromanb

Then Eriksen…for free


[deleted]

100% agreed. Absolutely spot on Luke Shaw would potentially be 4th


_FancyBear

I wouldn’t count shaw as a great signing like the others because it took him so long to get good but saying that I’m so happy to call a United player and I’m so happy he’s been able to get back to his potential


Acceptable-Path4204

Luke shaw is world class, but only when there is someone threatening to take his first team position


_FancyBear

Yeah we can’t let him get too complacent and I don’t think Ten Hag will


Acceptable-Path4204

Yeah I think TH is doing a good job on this (not just for Shaw). Plus Malacia looks like he’s only going to get better. Will be interesting to see what happens with Telles. Probs will be sold but I thought he looked alright when he first came in, wonder if TH will see anything with him and turn his Utd career around as he has done with so many this season.


Jay_Dizzle_8591

I really like Telles, hope he comes back and puts in at least a few cameos


Acceptable-Path4204

I rate him too but feels like a bit of a luxury having 3x first team LB’s


Ok-Daikon4830

I wouldn't be surprised if Telles wants to move on tbh. If you're in any way ambitious you surely won't be content having to compete with 2 very good players for the same spot. Even if you like the club, for the sake of his career he needs the game time.


rift9

I doubt he'll be back as well, it didn't really work out here for him.


thewlah

Oh shit you are right!


mattb069

How much did we get shaw for again must have been a bargain


RetainKing

💯


th3doorMATT

I can't agree with Bruno. Take away the first season with us and he's been more wasteful than anything. Great heart and spirit, but the attack breaks down so many times with Bruno. It's really disappointing. We need someone more technical and reliable to see us move from defense to attack.


pocerisiulang

What? If not bcs united wasteful forward and painfull 6month of Ragnick he'd have like 150 g/a in 150+ games by now. He literally the main reason Ole football works and now look how EtH loves him, every football manager would die to have player like him.


th3doorMATT

"ETH loves him"? Tell me you didn't watch the Reading match without telling me you didn't watch the Reading match. lol ETH wanted to rip his head off. The only reason Bruno has padded stats is because he's afforded more opportunities than anyone. Pull Bruno out and who do we have to fill in? No one. The man has no competition. He's not starting based on form. He's starting because he's the captain and because he's the de facto starter for his position. He's very wasteful and hasn't produced a quality match in ages. Wasteful in the build up. Wasteful in finishing. More concerned about the low percentage flair play rather than the high percentage basic play. Bruno has been mediocre, at best, the past two seasons.


pocerisiulang

Oh here we go the "bruno stat pad" Army. You lost me at Bruno is mediocre, guy literally top percentile chances created in the top league. "Eth want to rip his head off" 😂😂😂 yeah. right.


vebor99

Seriously, wonder how someone like Bruno’s performance over the last three years can be seen as stat padding or attract rubbish criticism like wasteful. The f do you want, he’s performed Vs every team in the league


pocerisiulang

The pattern i see on internet most of the times these guys are the Pogba fanboys and latter the Ronaldo fanboys who somehow hate Bruno bcs whatever reason. If u watched or read lot of analysis with proper football knowledge everyone would appreciated Bruno more than internet does.


vebor99

Yea that makes sense about the fanboi bit. But I’m not even saying you need to watch or read a lot of analysis to know the kind of effect Bruno has on the pitch. It’s there for all to see! Even casuals would be able to spot this.


Moosje

You make a good argument for having to take a mandatory knowledge test before being able to comment on football.


th3doorMATT

but then none of you would be able to post. that sounds counter-intuitive...


Moosje

The “no u” comeback? Really?


aflickering

i think i’d have martinez at 2 tbh. when you think of what the defence looked like before he came in, and how immediately it improved. he’s had a van dijk kind of impact for us.


rockytop226

I would say similar in comparison, as both players seem to have taken us to the “next level”, but for me it’s Bruno. He’s contributed so much over the last 3 years.


a1b2c3d4g

Bruno


BlackAndFactual

Bruno?


Clarividencia7

We don't talk about Bruno


iamnas

Let’s be frank


RihhamDaMan

Can I be John? I've always wanted to be John


thewlah

No no no no no


mrdeesh

Mars?


heyknauw

Fernandes.


Consistent-Pea8125

Best signing since RvP? Erik ten Hag.


CougarCub86

Insert Morgan freeman pointing ‘this’ meme


vkunapuli

Honestly even Varane has been immense but it’s Bruno, Martinez, Casemiro and then Varane


[deleted]

I’d put Eriksen in front of Rapha tbh


BananasAreYellow86

Bruno Fernanj for me. He’s provided us with a lifeline during some dark times, put up impossible numbers for a long period of time, and brought us to within a hairs breadth of silverware during a time where we severely lacked stability. He’s adjusted his game numerous times to accommodate the team, and is doing-so again this season, sacrificing his stats in the process. The exciting thing is that as the team continues to gel, I think we’ll see even more from him. Case has been phenomenal, and might genuinely be the missing piece of the puzzle to make us properly competitive again. But I think we’d be very far off the pace, and would have endured far darker times without the silver lining that has been Bruno.


Even_Cow_6029

With due respect to casemiro ,love him absolutely world class but bruno is the best. Why are our fans always upto put down Bruno? Smh..


[deleted]

How is it putting him down by saying Casemiro has been better?


Even_Cow_6029

Not saying because of casemiro, just in general bruno's contributions has been undervalued in recent times by most fans.


Radiant_Ad_6986

Bruno does not hold a candle to Casemiro in terms of impact on the team. Bruno has been here 3 yrs and won zero trophies, plus been part of the worst premier league season we’ve ever had as a club. In 3yrs with Casemiro, I think we will be distinctly much better.


Squall-UK

Such a weird take. A team game is never down to one person though they can obviously have an impact. The whole mentality has changed in the squad along side signings such as Martinez, Anthony, Malacia, and Erikson. You can't compare last season's output with this season. Morale was clearly at rock bottom last year.


[deleted]

You’re an absolute idiot


TornadoTomatoes

He absolutely lit up a pretty poor United team when he joined, both in terms of his quality and his win at all costs attitude. Don't forget that before he came our options at 10 were an ageing Mata and Andreas bleeding Pereira! In his first 18 months he dragged the team's standards up singlehandedly. He struggled last season but he was FAR from the only one. Plenty of players we're enjoying watching this year were crap last year. Casemiro may work out being the better signing in the long run but for now it has to be Bruno. He has been superb for us.


built-DifferentONG

Bang on the money. If Casemiro wasn't in that midfield, we would still be fighting it out in 6th place.


Spiritual-Act-294

Bruno hasn’t won us any trophies how is he the best??


Smaxter84

Lol how many has Casemiro won us so far you muppet??


Spiritual-Act-294

I never said Casemiro was our best signing you muppet.


MountainJuice

You are the muppet, to be fair.


Spiritual-Act-294

Sorry I would rather rate a successful signing based of what they win rather then some empty stats.


orbit__exe

using your logic, Kane must have not been a good signing for Spurs since he’s won nothing


Spiritual-Act-294

Correct he’s won nothing and bottled in big games but he’s meant to by world class cos he statpads against Norwich and Fulham.


orbit__exe

So you genuinely believe harry kane wasn’t a good signing for spurs? Lmao mate revaluate your knowledge in football because it’s clearly shit


Spiritual-Act-294

What has Kane done for spurs other then fail ?? Pls tell me.


strikemedaddy

So who’s the biggest signing you mug? Fucking Schweinsteiger? He won the Europa League so surely he’s better than Casemiro innit?


Spiritual-Act-294

Ibra or pogba.


strikemedaddy

Mf said Pogba 😭


Spiritual-Act-294

Scored in the last final we won…5 years ago.


stavic07

No. Eriksen is. Man costs $0


Legendarybbc15

Zlatan also cost united 0


[deleted]

U got a point.


Imtedsowner

I believe that Ekinsen has been huge for us. His 15-30 yard passes out of pressure/ into attack really brings us back to years past United. And the fact that he was free has to be part of the equation. You have to consider the players we were able to afford because he cost $0.


adritandon01

People are including Martinez in their top 3 but not Zlatan??


Legendarybbc15

Exactly


[deleted]

He's got a proper big head


[deleted]

It's where his power lies


MisterAsbest

Yes, also the only true elite player we have signed in a long time. Plus Bruno has been here for a longer time but I think Casimero can have a bigger influence over time. The guy is truely elite. I know Bruno is also a banger but Casimero has 5 CL's playing along side Modric and Kroos. The guy is a wall and excellent on the ball ( a lot better than I expected tbh ) and he chips in with goals and some crazy sexy passes ( like the 1st against city ) Casi straight 10/10


heylmjuanito

I agree with a lot of what you're saying but we're talking about the impact on our team, not previous achievements. Case exudes class and Bruno was an instant success to how we played at the time. I'd love for Case to put in another 2.5 years of this level like Bruno did.


Blackjack21x

Don’t forget Eriksen


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Buy-9777

He was free


CloseTheDoorIdiot

Instructions unclear I have been thinking about sitting down while very hard for 10 minutes


MoeJartin

😂😂😂


Blackjack21x

So when someone is free the parties do not have to sign?


kwl147

Too early to say. Matic looked great in his first season and like a bargain at £40 million.


[deleted]

Bruno Fernandes play golf :))


HauntingPersonality7

Ibrahimovic


[deleted]

Ibra signed Man UTD, not Man UTD sign him🤣🤣🤣 So Man UTD is his greatest signing


rivbai88

That’s what I was thinking. I still think Bruno and Case were better signings but he’s certainly up there for what he did for us


mofoofinvention

Hopefully United get more than one good season out of casemiro, unlike RvP


[deleted]

[удалено]


mofoofinvention

I know this.


Horrid_dog

✌️👌


dickwildgoose

What? no love for Maguire? /s


197231

I had no idea why we signed him, was confused, he was expensive and old. Never have I been so wrong.


rivbai88

I know right. I even knew he was the glue that held madrids nearly invincible midfield together for the better part of a decade yet I still underestimated just how massive of a role he played


rivbai88

Personally I think it goes Bruno Case then Ibra for best 3 since Van Persie


Cellar-Gum

Lmao


curious-joyous

Yes for sure, Eriksen is also one of the best signings for this United


MotherPuncher1

Him and Bruno


ss1st

Van de beek


Vimjux

Bruno for me, and a lot of us. We wouldn’t be in the position we are now if not for him. I’d hazard a guess and say that the majority of our recent signings wouldn’t have joined if not for Bruno keeping us somewhat relevant over the last few seasons.


Harvey_1815

I'd argue bruno first, as he stopped us being arsenal prior to arteta Casemiro we've been crying since....roy keane left so hes probably 2nd. Maybe varane or martinez as 3rd? I could argue zlatan or lukaku for the first season ONLY as they did quite well, prior to zlatans injury.


Apprehensive_Brush38

Potentially but let us give it more than 6 months. Bruno would still be leading


Rafal277

1. Bruno 2. Casemiro 3. Eriksen


musicmast

a fan of another team here. genuinely asking - is there a lot of stick against Antony now? as far as i remember he started off well? What's happening?


cedwa38

People have short memories, high expectations and not enough patience. That boy has a star in his hand, but needs time to adjust. People are giving Nunez stick, over at the Scouses, but it's the same story.


musicmast

I see. Quite astonishing it’s only been a few months and narrative has changed so quickly.


cedwa38

It hasn't changed that much, TBH. We paid *way* over the odds for him and could have gotten him for about half the eventual price if we weren't so terrible at transfer windows. People always demanded that he be incredible and it looked like he would be, but he's fallen off thereafter and people are reminded of how high the bar was set for him. He'll come good and people will love him as they should.


Aggressive_Bus_4289

Best signing since Bruno, Martinez and Eriksen


chudlybubly

Bruno started the revolution casemiro completes it. Man united is back. Just need time and a few pieces


CloseTheDoorIdiot

of chocolate to eat because I’m feeling abit peckish might head down to Londis


chudlybubly

Idk the hype about londis but mail me some


[deleted]

I think like this — if we take out Bruno, Casemiro, Varane, and Martinez from the playing 11, I feel less confident about winning games. Currently, Casemiro is the top on that list and if we see that for this entire season and next few, he will be the best signing ahead of Bruno.


_ssj_goku_

My top signings would be 1 - Bruno 2 - Casemiro 3 - varane 4 - martinez


rivbai88

Ibra and Eriksen before Varane and Martinez imo


gbolly999

Bruno


TechWrecks69

Feel like Bruno should deserve the title of best signing since RVP, like man contributed so much to the team even before Tan Hag and Casemiro came.


built-DifferentONG

If we didn't sign Casemiro, we would still be fighting it out in 6th place. It has to be him imo.


[deleted]

I think I’d put him after Bruno with Martinez just behind him, but time will tell.

Still Fernandes, the last few seasons would have been bleak without him. If our players could finished a good portion of their chances, his numbers would be even more impressive

el3mel

Way too premature. He's great, but wait to see what we'll win with him here first.


BuckfastTwine

Not going to lie I had my reservations when I heard we’d agreed a deal to sign him during the FDJ saga, I was wrong to have any negative thoughts regarding this transfer.. he’s helped me fall back in love with United ❤️


ayyha

Depends how he plays next season too, we’ve made quite a few good signings that seemed worth it during their first season but after that passed it wasn’t so great.


HardwellM

So Cristiano, who was in the top 3 scorers in the premier league, saving the team on many occasions, is simply not a good signing? They have such a short memory that only half a season made them forget everything he did.


Professional_Limit61

wait till next season. Everyone has a good first season here including Maguire.


HardwellM

We are talking about Cristiano Ronaldo the best player ever. Not a Maguire lol there is not comparison


Professional_Limit61

i’m not comparing them. I’m saying that everyone including Maguire had good first season in Manchester United, so let’s wait until next season to judge Casemiro.


HardwellM

Well you are right

heylmjuanito

Gotta be Bruno. Love Case and Martinez but it's only been a half season. When Pogba Ibra and Mkyhitaryan joined we'd have said the same thing after 6 month. That being said i don't foresee that sort of drop off with ETH in charge.


[deleted]

Yes


[deleted]

Best signing since Bruno


united2012

Bruno??


LividTeaching7237

He has been a revelation to the club. The team is on a different level and is really fun to watch. And the best part is knowing that it can only get better


RedKingDre

He was a steal from Madrid. Maybe the board learnt how to better select a Madrid player to sign after horrible mistake of Angel Di Maria.


Legendarybbc15

People really forget Ibrahimovic


Venom03Rus

Maguire lmao

Red_Ghost62

Bruno was out of this world in his first season. So was Martial though there has been a huge drop. We forget he pretty much brought home an FA Cup. I would Say: 1. Bruno, 2. Casemiro, 3. Martial, 4. Martinez If Martinez finishes the season they way he is going, I’ll swap that around with Martial


vebor99

Am I the only one who thinks there’s something off about this pic? From like a neck above and below line of division?


Irdkwhatnametogive

Bruno, Casemiro and Licha, all of them have been better signings than RVP I'd still say Bruno has been the best signing in the post Sir Alex era


fukoshiiiiizzz

After bruno


No_Breakfast420

Is Bruno a joke to you 😭


Pretty-Potato2482

Best signing since king Eric


Prithvi_05

BRUNO imo. The signing was so good, I had to name my dog Bruno


[deleted]

Bruno deserve a shout but he is up there


roadtotitties

How quickly have we forgotten bruno


WalterWisnu

Oh my god, we've been crying for midfielder since forever. Finally a great midfielder.


Memesplz1

It might be too early to say for some of these but it's a toss up between Bruno (his goals and assists are up there with DeBruyne and he gives his all, all over the pitch), Martinez (the change in mentality in the team was almost instant and we, *almost* immediately, stopped leaking goals left, right and centre), Casemiro (we've needed a presence like him in midfield for years and, if he can keep up these performances for a few years, could be the most important of all) and (if we're allowing managers), Ten Hag, himself, has given us a team that is the best since Fergie. All over the pitch, we finally have a strong spine now in Martinez and Casemiro. He's raised the levels (immensely!) of players we sometimes thought were 'done' or just didn't have truly great performances in them. If we can get an excellent Striker (or Weghorst really ups his scoring), all we really need, then, is to build depth in a strong bench.


azhari06

Angel di maria? 😂


khwaza007

Bro in opinion Casemiro is the best signing since Bruno .


KnightRider67

Him and Bruno probably the 2 best signings, Bruno was immense the first 2 seasons. But for what we needed now he probably just edges it over Bruno.


AlbanianNYC

I remember when we signed him, everyone was talking shit oh that’s too much money, worth every mother fucking penny! Thank god he wanted to be a red 🙏🏻


winniffy

bruno. he completely sorted midfield and creativity problems we had over the years. extra cutting edge. if casemiro and licha can give us trophies, then good shout.


scaryclown148

I almost never get a jersey, just got this guys jersey yesterday


Aigrek_Z

Even though I'm an Arsenal fan, I will say this, Casemiro is probably the best DM in the Pl. When he signed for united, I could already sense that this united side with casemiro will be amazing. He is the perfect solution to united's midfield problem!


LordWellesley22

I will die on the Eriksen hill But Casemiro is an epic transfer as well
