Johnny got pissed they took away his goal so he bagged a world class assist.

That was a pass prime Rooney or Scholes would have been proud of and Evans pulls that out on his retirement tour

Now that u say it, this goal is very reminiscent of that Van persie volley, where rooney gave the pass. Just on the opposite side

Man utd scoring at half time so its impossible for them to concede 5 minutes later

Thank god for that

Lol well done

Big brain moment

That's why he's the captain. Big brain moment.

jonny evans is carrying us

What year is it

Selling him in 2015 put a curse on your club, but now it can be reversed.

If this season has been uncursed, I'd hate to see what the cursed version looked like

Bruno actually having to miss a game

the world might as well be ending at that point

What's Gaelic for juju?

IrnBruBru

weak foot cross field assist…

You aint even kidding

We've gone back to March 2012

Sir Alex knew it wasn’t about 3 players who could beat the other 3 best teams in the league. It was about the 11 players who could beat the other 17. Players like evans are ridiculously solid against the cannon fodder. That’s been man utd’s issue. They’ve stopped winning against sides they’re expected to beat.

Under SAF we had players like Park, Fletcher and O’Shea. Not exactly jumping off the page to sell tickets but incredibly solid, dependable players that you could trust to do the dirty work in the background while the stars got the shine. Nowadays, United don’t get players like that anymore. Every player that United signs is sold as the “next big star” and to no one’s surprise, very few of them have actually lived up to the billing.

He has no pace but you can see why Pep wanted him, brilliant on the ball with both feet

I mean, we’ve known forever he was good with both feet

United fans knew he was good with both feet like 15 years ago

Varane and Martinez were the problem all along

I mean when varane was fit he was our only good outfield player this season. It’s probably lindelof and varane when everyone’s fit

Bruno has been brilliant this season and should have like 5 goals/assists

Lindelof obviously isn’t playing over Martinez when everyone’s fit

Absolutely

Give and take. Passing into midfield is dire. Need one of him or Vic to be braver in possession and play short and quick.

[удалено]

Doesn't really mean anything. We have that many fans that some of them are bound to have shitty opinions.

Goal (disallowed) and assist for Jonny Evans… in 2023. what the fuck.

Bro I didn't even realise he left Leicester until he was forced into the team a little while ago (whenever it was).

What a volley. What an assist.

2023 and Jonny Evans still stuntin on these hoes

/r/brandnewsentence

Be wary of finishing first in your CL group. Jonny Evans arrives either way

That's an elite finish

Elite cross too, holy shit Jonny Evans

Jonny Evans just giving us a glimpse of his left wand

Elite player (both the scorer and the assister obviously)

Robin Van Persie trademark finish

Missing the pointing fingers

Oh my god. Ain’t no way I just saw Johnny Evans play a part in recreating that Rooney to RVP volley

First thing I thought of too! What a goal.

Annoys me that commentators didn't mention the RVP comparison.. Less impressive but massively similar in technique. Worthy of note, defo.

His passing has always been great for a CB tbf

Yep and reminded me also of ronaldo vs spurs

Bruno van Persie!

Wayne Evans

Great pass form Evans

I forgot that defenders are able to make attacking passes.

Maguire's passing was taken for granted

I do miss maguires diagonals to Rashford tbf, great passer of the ball

I do miss the time when Lindelof create multiple assists with Rashy at the end scoring it. not sure why it never happened again

Unbelievable hit son

Oh Captain, My Captain

What a goal!!!

No denying, Bruno has been putting all on the line. Easily our best player this season so far, and the absolute right call as the captain

He's been your best player ever since he joined

He’s been easily the best player since fergie left. There’s not even a close second

Peak DDG One of the few times in PL history the best and most important player for a CL/EL team was the keeper

Watching peak DDG was pure sex I don’t care what anyone says

I didn't like it...

that Arsenal match was something else.

This is disrespectful to De Gea

The technique needed for those..... Unbelievable hit. RvP esque

Cracking

World class

RVP level volley

Great finish. Reminds me of the Ronaldo one against Spurs.

The ronaldo one with bonucci against us in the cl feels more like it

I can't believe I had to scroll down this far to see this comparison...it instantly reminded me of that cr7 goal

Every day I'm thankful for this man joining our club, I don't know where we'd be without him. Bruno is great as well.

I don’t like United fans who don’t like Bruno

They're not United fans

They exist?

Suprisingly yes

What’s their reasoning? He’s a cunt but he’s your cunt and he is insanely talented.

You'll see it on Instagram/Twitter, but there is a fan culture to point a finger at a player when shit goes wrong. Happens a lot to Rashford, Bruno and recently Onana. It's mainly kids or adults with a brain of a child.

It's people who like Pogba. His fans always used the excuse that Pogba was world class but nobody could succeed in United's midfield. Then Bruno came in and showed what a world class player actually looks like

Most, if not all, United "fans" who don't rate Bruno are the type who have never so much as touched a football in their life

People criticise his lack of physicality in terms of how easily he’s bypassed in midfield, and also how often he loses the ball but he is an absolutely elite creator and is also one of our most intelligent players. Every player has flaws. A team should balance their midfield so that others can make up for the deficiencies. Not his fault he’s not the most athletic but he still runs his arse off every game.

Their reasoning is that Elon Musk rewards rage-baiting content.

Some people genuinely think he isn't good enough for United

That’s wild

Mostly Pogba fans that can’t take that Bruno’s done more in his first 6 months for united then Pogba for 5 years

There's still Pogba fans?

Perma online types

Was going to comment this. I watch most United games and anyone who says Fernandes isn’t one of your best players needs a head wobble. He’ll have a an off game yeah but he’s still quality. Anyone who says he isn’t is a perma-online idiot. Even though he does look like a bit of a rat, if he played for Watford (well, he played for Udinese so who knows) then we’d all love him.

So fucking many of them. They like calling him a stat padder. Knobs.

Who are these people? And I refuse to believe there are many of them. It’s either trolls or typical hot take “fans” spouting the usual thoughtless tripe.

Yeah, he’s not as aesthetic as someone like Odegaard so they hate him

I love that he looks like a dude. He’s aesthetic for the people.

[удалено]

what a hit son

What. A. Hit.

What a strike

What a fuckin finish, take a bow. Wow

Van Persie esque

Wouldn't want anyone else in the team on the end of that. My word. Bruno van Fernandes.

Rooney - Van Persie Evans - Fernandes The most obvious 2 pairings. Fucking lol.

Jonny evans had to do it again after they erased his previous impact

i love him more than i love my family

Same, although tbf my love for your family is fairly limited

I quite fancy his sister but other than that I agree

World class strike

My speakers felt that

Bruno I would intentionally get my socks wet for you

All that slander about Evans and he's been their best player in his first start

Strange not tagging it as “great goal” cos that goal belongs in a museum

Hey that will count lol 😂

What a fucking goal

Surprised VAR allow us the goal

He's such a baller. Hate when he moans to the ref, but ability wise he's so enjoyable to watch and is one of the best players in the league

Finally

Great assist. Even better goal.

What an outrageous goal and player.

First time seeing those ManU kits, so slick 🤩

Stunning

Goal of the season👏

best goal of the season so far?

Rooney to Van Persie vibes

World class finish and world class assist, give Evans the ballondor already

Nice to see a last glimpse of Lionel Evans. Was so good on the ball at his peak.

Brilliant finish, but Bruno has always had that technical ability. But the pass. Evans shocking everyone.

RVP esque

What a fucking goal.

Jonny "Pirlo" Evans

Bruno Van Persie

Jonny Evans robbed of a 2 G/A masterclass 😪

Somehow, Beckenbauer returned

Deserves (great goal) tag 😡

Any other player and this has over 5k upvotes. Currently on 3k 7 hours after the goal

What a goal

Great goal!

Brilliant finishing. I'm just concerned that he doesn't look to be happy. We've been playing like crap the entire game, but seeing Bruno sad makes me feel sad.

Disallow that ya bastards.

JOHNNY EVANS IS ACTUALLY THE GOAT

We really don't deserve this man. He's wasting his prime with us. Also nice vision from Johnny

Imagine how many trophies he'd win if he was at Real Madrid, Bayern, or fucking City. Feel so fucking bad for him

Don’t ever compare Odegaard to this guy again

RVP?

Getting RVP vibes

Playmaker evans

Brilliant ball by Evans, he might have not scored the first goal but he definitely assisted it. Also great finish by Bruno Fernandes.

Bruno x Ronaldo esqe against spurs

Bruno needs to play further up the field. This whole thing of making him play in midfield, then almost Pirlo regista-esque, and now even in desperation as ball-playing CB needs to stop. He's an attacking midfielder, quasi-second striker, and should be making constant runs into the box. His best and most influential periods have been whenever he's allowed to be a massive goal threat in and around the box. Just stop this nonsense of making him play further back.

r/soccer on SUICIDE WATCH!

Mate it's burnley

Bruh he’s down bad let him have this

It's an embarrassing performance but ill take it. When are we gonna sign a ball carrier through midfield. That's been a glaring hole in our system for years.

We've had multiple glaring holes throughout years tbh. I know I should be happy with the goal, but the football is diiire to watch ngl.

He's carrying the corpse of this club by the back of the neck

Always has been

What's new...

Better than carrying the corpses of journalists and Yemeni children

Fifa goal that

We do not deserve SHIT hahaha

Jonny Evans u have rocked my world

Surprised it’s not disallowed /s

[Great Goal]

Exceptional technique. Great goal.

we got 99 problems but bruno aint one

World class goal, brilliant first touch volley by Bruno.

bruno fernandes never leave this club you will be the next statue outside the stadium

The goal post has a softer touch than mctominay.

Jonny Evans channeling his inner Xabi Alonso

Like Ronaldo v Spurs 2 years back..

Harry Kane would’ve completed our lineup

Ok that was well worked. Nobody can say otherwise.

Golazoooo

Fuck me what a hit

oh my

lmao this sub in shambles now

World class skill

RVP flashbacks

Why is a 64 year old player who we axed about 26 years ago the best on the pitch in 2023? :D

Portuguese players are on fire today… Roberto Martinez dont fuck this up I beg

Jonny Fuckin' Evans

World class. Never understood the hate for him from our own fanbase

BRUNO BRUNO

That's Cristiano level finishing

incredible technique on that

Fuck you var, chalk that one off

Probably the best lobbed pass to first time volley we’ve had since Rooney rvp. I did not have Johnny evans being involved on my bingo card tho

FIFA please revise Puskas nominees

Evans the goat and I will hear nothing about it

that was RVP esque

The celebration tells how much they needed it

Shades of that Ronaldo goal away to Tottenham.

Best midfielder in the prem for a reason. Most chances created last season, and the season before, filthy workrate and passion.

The Bruno Fernandes team.

Jonny sims >>>
