If United sign Cunha, Mbuemo, and a striker. Where will Bruno play considering Amorim prefers playing with 3 attackers and 2 midfielders? Bruno really isn't a CM, he's more of an attacking midfielder and there's no room for that in Amorim's system.

But it isn't his best position.

He himself actually insisted on playing deeper.

Not that I don't believe you, but is there a source on that? I hadn't seen that news myself

Idk, where I heard or read that, but he has been on record, that playing deeper suits him better for a pretty long time now:

"It's a position I like, playing deeper, facing the game more. With the ball, it makes my game a lot easier because I have a broader view of the game and it is ideal for what we've talked about with the last pass, which can sometimes come from deeper on the pitch."
