Three reasons Man United should sign Bruma who Jose Mourinho waxed lyrical about

Galatasaray star Bruma has been in the best form of his career this season and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Premier League giants Man United are among several clubs interested in the former Sporting Lisbon star.

Bruma also caught the attention of Man United boss Jose Mourinho.

“Mourinho told me he was impressed with my performance and that if I continue I will get back into the Portugal national team.” Bruma told O Jogo.

“Of course it was amazing to hear this from Mourinho and he said he will keep an eye on how I do this season.”

We take a look at three reasons why Man United should snap up the Portuguese winger.

1) Dynamism

Jose Mourinho has always favoured pace on the wings. He had Robben and Duff during his first spell at Chelsea, Eto’o at Inter and Ronaldo at Real Madrid.

Mou’s current United squad lacks pace on the wings which has lead the Portuguese tactician to fielding strikers Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford out wide.

The inclusion of Bruma will add pace to either wing. The Portguese star can also dribble at pace which always helps to break down the oppositions defense.

Bruma is renowned for his dribbling ability.

The Galatasaray ace averages 4.8 successful dribbles per-game which is higher than Messi, Eden Hazard and his idol Ronaldo.

2) Final ball

Bruma not only possess impressive pace and dribbling skills, but also has an end delivery.

The former Sporting man is equally adept at crossing from the byline as he is cutting in from the wing to strike on goal. Bruma has eight assists and eight goals for Galatasaray so far this season.

The stats appear all the more impressive seeing that Galatasaray are struggling in the league this season.

Bruma has been one of the Istanbul giants bright sparks this season and would be languishing in a mid-table spot if not for the 22-year-old.

3) Potential

Despite being just 22, Bruma already ready has experience playing top tier Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish and Champions League football.

If he keeps up his progression his value is going to continue sky rocketing.

Furthermore, under the stewardship of his compatriot Jose Mourinho, who knows how great the Portuguese youngster could become.
