Following the weekend’s 2-0 win over Watford, take a closer look at the magical midfield performance of Ruben Neves! The Portuguese international made the most tackles, touches, completed the most passes and created some great chances during a tireless display.

  1. Bruno seems to have given Ruben a free role, you can imagine Bruno saying to him 'go and do your own thing'. He seems a different player from last season and we are thankful to him.

  2. Please letโ€™s not get carried away heโ€™s a very good player,and played well last game but first 2 games he was piss poor his passing was terrible and it was his fault that led to Spurs goal ,letโ€™s hope he carries on from the Watford game now ,and his shooting gets better,when was last time he scored a free kick ?just saying ,but hopefully his form comes back to what it was

  3. United havent had a midfielder who can run the midfield from Scholes & Carrick, Neves is the man, donny van beek, Pogba, are lazy players and dont have the defense work to run the midfield

  4. There was a Focus on Ruben by Liam keen from E&S, highlighting how Ruben's role has been simplified by Bruno. Courtesy of a heat map that clearly shows Ruben is being asked to cover that inside right position only, box to box vertically. Last season he covered a deeper role with horizontal movement, left to right and was probably exhausted to venture forward too often. The emergence of kilman being able to play between the lines comfortably and bring the ball forward, has allowed Ruben more offensive freedom. It's not a coincidence. It's the little things, tactical tweaks implemented by Bruno

  5. The thing with wolves is,every player is equally important,even if u take a single player out like Traore,trincao,Neves,moutinho,coady,etc the whole balance and spirit will be destroyed

  6. I hope to see him and Aurelien Tchouameni at Utd next season. We will have both strong with vision midfields that we never got from Mc&Fred.
