Romelu Lukaku

Never been shy about spending or fighting with his club for more money.

We need much more Rashford, Pogba, Miki, Mata, Martial. It is why I am not convinced by Lukaku, his all round game is flawed, if he or Zlat/Ruud, any dominant scorer hits 30 but inhibits the play of others that total is far less valuable than it looks. Mou is too smart to take him out of his comfort zone though, have to wait to see how it works out.

Agreed again. Essentially, don't doubt his individual ability to score goals, but will he improve the team?

Let see!

Stages

SAF did the same. Dixon Dublin, Micky, Donaghy etc.... A platform to build and improve upon. We all know Jose hasn't been a stayer so far. Hardly surprising at Madrid and Chelsea but hopefully, has learned and matured. Can't believe he wouldn't have done. Loads of experience and early days, yet. Reckon he'll want a lasting effort as much as we do.

Am convinced he'll play for Utd. There'd be such great camaraderie in our team if he does.

Don't think he quite fits the mould of a Mourinho shit on a stick merchant tbh. He's far too slight in physique and too skillful.

He'd be better off staying in Spain where everyone else United couldn't sign is staying IMO. They appreciate skill over muscle there.

It's a serious change in players. Griezmann, Morata, Lukaku. It's a decrease in skill and an increase in muscle as you go down the list

I gave the bloke a year, unlike you who got on his back straight away but it looks like you and siders were right from the start.

Clearly his promises to have United 'play a different way' to how his chelsea side played was a load of balls. New contract for bogbrush only a matter of time and Dier or Matic will just about finish me off tbh.

Shall we maybe see how the team develops under him before condemning the tactics he hasn't yet deployed, using players we haven't signed?

United just need to score more goals, it really is that simple. This whole "playing the right way" is a load of old codswallop.

Fair point.

That video with Pogba is cringe
