It’s a huge ask on his shoulders. Some fans write off players before they’ve played. As nice as it would be to see him come in and score 20-25 goals in the league in his first season there’s a chance he takes a while to settle. There’s no guarantee , it’s not like signing a Harry Kane or mbappe etc.

Either we manage to sign or loan another decent back up, or hope the likes of Antony, Mount etc chip in with goals. I hope Amad isn’t badly injured, I feel there are goals in him coming off the right wing (if ETH chooses to keep him)

Ultimately we need to sign Hojlund first. Then go after that CM. If we can manage that and it’s a big if, we should go after another striker. Even if it’s a striker on loan as back up (weghourst to really boil piss)

I just hope after 5 games Hojlund isn’t written off.

It's Onanas world....

Hojlund's a big fast £#%&!er who pins defenders for fun, and he seems to have an instinct for being in the right place at the right time.

Strikers need to have that 'i'd happily trample my grandmother for a goal' mindset.

It's more what he can become over what he is now. I approve. But i cannot approve of his skincare routine.

seems unlikely.

ok imagine this is a new forumistas asking this question

I’ve seen that few have said we need a midfielder. Don’t be pedantic but basically a player to play more DMF more than anything. To slot in with casimero right?
Ok so if we signed that player this summer early on and played him and casimero with Bruno on the 10 position just infront of them

Would anyone be saying we need Mason mount as well?
Because if we need another midfielder and that midfielder starts….
It would be new midfielder , casimero and Bruno.

So what about mount?



Just asking

Slots into Antonys position.

We needed a forward thinking midfielder to replace Fred and offer an alternative to Eriksen.

We also need a replacement for The Scottish Player and alternative to Casemiro.

Could do with one more too, imo.

Ftr, I’d say we need 2 strikers, but only if we can shift Martial.

Regardless of what has been spent so far, we couldn’t afford Osimhen, Kane is looking like £100m and probably a premium on top of that for us, and we’d have to sell to achieve that. Sad fact is the budget has had to be spread thinly and if we get Hojlund they’ll have done what they can imo.

Do you think we’re going to play the same 11 for every game?

You’re fond of comparing us to City, so let’s use them as an example. They did pretty well last year. Did they have a set starting XI that they rigidly stuck to when everyone was available, or did they in fact have a pool of players all capable of starting, depending on the particular needs of any specific fixture?

we’ll surely have to cut our coat according to our size

we spend our reported 100m + players sales wisely

It seems we have spent half our budget on a midfielder that doesn’t really improve our midfield exponentially and if anything ruins our dynamic.
also a player that had a year left that no one was really in for…

But I’m obviously wrong

According to you..

You are making statements as if they’re facts, they’re not, they’re your opinion.

By all accounts everyone in the Country wanted Mount..

Yes but we have other area in dire need of players.

Rashford for example blows hot and cold and we are £#%&!ed if he is our one or even one of two genuine goal threats in our whole squad.

City have a squad yes you are no doubt right about that but why improve our squad when we need actually forwards.

Ok in midfield , we have vdb coming back, eriksen.
Why buy competition for that place when we have not even one competitor striker.

Furthermore why buy a player that’s able to speak to other clubs in 4 and a half months? Given we have to be prudent

The nerve on me expressing my opinion on an internet forum that i subscribe to. Mad ting!

vdB will be going out one way or another and Eriksen has got 60 minutes in his locker at best, Fred is leaving and The Scottish Player might: we were desperate for a couple of midfielders, minimum..

Can quantify that please

Just a few links etc

He’s able to speak to foreign clubs in January not domestic. There’s a risk to wait for him at the end of the season. But If the manager wants him now then the manager wants him now. Of course you would like a striker to be signed by now but this is uniteds recruitment . They should be signing Hojlund and Amrabat so we should still be fine by the first game of the season

Express your opinion all you like pal, just don’t present it as a fact and then get upset when people point out and often prove you wrong

Ultimately only time will tell and you are entitled to your opinion. I suspect you are wrong as well, try not to get too upset about it x

If the board/ETH didn't think they will get Kane/Osimen and likely other striking options will be sub £60M and Mount would add to the squad I can perfectly see the logic in that.

Also - Liverpool were in for Mount.
