At this point, Bruno can retire/leave the Premier League as one of the best offensive midfielders in 21st Century. There are loads of stats as him creating more chances than anyone else (including Kevin De Bruyne who’s also an amazing chance creator).

I really don’t get the excuses of Hojlund having ‘shit service’ in the Premier League given who’s playing next to, but Hojlund is suddenly a lethal goalscorer in the UCL.

    Hard agree with the PL/CL observation, we all know that teams like Fulham, palace, and Brentford are going to sit deep and play low block football Vs United. I know you mentioned that Hojlund missed many big chances in the Prem but I personally don’t think you can play both Hojlund and Rashford upfront, I don’t think Rashford has shown that he is capable of getting the ball to Hojlund on a consistent basis.

      Utd forwards have seemed really selfish, like Chelsea’s, in the highlights I’ve seen. So often the team mate is crying out for a sideways pass and it never comes.
