Agreed, though night games and games in certain areas of Eurpoe will be far cooler than others (it is not red hot everywhere)?

Yeah, kudos to him for facing up to that. Not sure I would in his position. He's also answered emails from fans too.
Saw it this morning. Poor form from the fans tbh.

What story is this about?
A group of supporters planned a protest outside his house so he went and met with them in a local pub. He discussed how much Utd had spent and wasted on transfers, spoke about investment this summer and the need for investment into the club if they're to do work on the stadium/training ground. One of the supporters sneakily filmed it and put the video up on twitter.
A 10 second twitter search will find the video - he uses some colourful language so I can't link to it here.
Arnold went down the pub to talk to fans because they were going to protest outside his house (hes only been in the job a few weeks)
He spoke to the fans and one of them decided it was OK to film him. Based on how ******* obvious I imagine the phone was he probably knew he was being filmed but its still super scummy.
Just for clarity, the fans met at the pub , as a staging area before going to his house. Think the pub landlord tipped him off so he came down, bought them beer and talked to them. Good move, who knows how genuine he was. One of the supporters mentioned his “security” in the car park…not sure that changes my opinion on his bravery - he could’ve still been injured even with security.

Not sure why they'd mind, he came across pretty well. If anything that fans came out worse.
Not sure really. Lets be honest, he wasn't fantastically critical of the Glazers and the Glazers aren't completely stupid, they know they have ****** money up the wall and got very little for it. I assume thats part of the reason for the changing of the guard recently. In some hope of a better outcome for the club.
I think he means the Glazers being annoyed at what he suggested about them. He came across really well and for sure came out better than the fans.

He was more critical of Woodward than the Glazers really.
I thought he came across well, though it's not a surprise really, you don't get to that sort of level without being intelligent and personable. We can only hope he's more successful than Woodward.
These 'fans' who want to harass people at their home are stupid. For starters, the Glazers won't care. If you want to hurt the Glazers, you need large scale match boycotts - which won't happen. Secondly, it's fairly threatening behaviour and they've likely had a fair bit to drink - which often causes other issues.
In this instance I'd say it's generated some positive PR for the club.

Kinda expected it to be the other way around...I guess this could be Bruno's humour? If you're at a huge club (don't lol) like Man Utd then there will be media interviews etc.

'You are here to play football!': Fernandes fumes at Fred and Telles
The Brazilian duo were filming outside of the United training ground when the Portuguese international calls over to them and tells them to stop filming and start training.

According to Portuguese/Brazillians on Reddit, the reddevils sub, all that was, was banter. The way they are shouting and the tone, says joking around according to the native tongue.Kinda expected it to be the other way around...I guess this could be Bruno's humour?
