I watched one of his highlight reel things there, he looks workmanlike. Strong kid but I’d be surprised if he is a top player.
Yea but that was just another common or garden signing at the time. It’s not really an exaggeration to say the entire future of the club hinges on them getting this right.
He isn’t in the same class as Evan Ferguson I’d say. They should’ve bought Ferguson and Declan Rice, they’ve bought this lad and Mason Mount.
Garnacho, Greenwood, Rashford will have to bail them out.
Martial is so much more gifted than this kid, he’ll play a lot I’d say. ETH actually likes him but he isn’t available enough.
Yes it is.

Ferguson is far too one paced.
You couldn’t compare them, Ronaldo was in a completely different stratosohere technically. Watch the Sporting friendly and the debut at Old Trafford. Ronaldo was inevitable.
Doen’t stop Lewandowski, Kane, Benzema ain’t too quick any more either. The problem with this lad is that he doesn’t have it technically to lead the line and bring others into play. United have Rashford and Garnacho, they don’t neccessarily need more pace, they need a man to lead the line, and bring those lads into the game.
It’s crazy the way if every man United signing is scrutinised.
First they pump up the price.
Then they dismiss the player.
Anthony is an example. in Pretty much all man Uniteds good performances last year Anthony played.
You can tell very easily he’s going to be an excellent player yet you’ve people already claiming he’s a flop.
How many times have you seen him play?
Hojlund Will be rip roaring success. Look what ETH done with the likes of rashford and wan bissaka.
Could you ladybird that for me mate, rather than just constantly repeating it?
I saw a few Atalanta games last year and he didn’t stand out to me. I’ve watch a compilation there and he is cumbersome on the ball. He takes too many touches because his first touch isn’t good enough. He is going to struggle against better defenders.
Re Antony, he does need to step up. In the context of 86 million and where United want to go, more is needed. ETH has said this himself
Strengths: good diligent man to press and very press resistant. Lovely weight of pass and a real eye for a pass. Takes up very good goal scoring positions and big scope for improvement in finishing. He is a great striker of the ball.
Weaknesses: Extremely one paced for an EPL winger at a top club, his play can be predictable due to this as he has to cut in. Exacerbated by the fact he is quite one-footed and lacks the athleticism to make the back post for easy goals. Most top fullbacks fancy it with him due to this.

AWB started about 35% of games last season I’d say😂 ETH transformed the €50 million defender alright. I’m not sure how that relates to likelihood of an attacking player succeeding.

Will Garnacho start regularly? He could be a steal on FPL at 5.0

Garnacho Rashford Greenwood

Cunt rice can stay where he is.
He didn’t play until post World Cup. He’d issue with alcohol by all accounts.
He improved significantly technically which is exactly what people say he couldn’t do.
It’s almost like we’ve got a really good coach.
You’re picking a lad who isn’t even a part of the squad and hasn’t play football in 18 months.
Stick Rice in next to Casmimiro with Bruno pushing on, that is a very powerful, balanced midfield that would have United competitive. Especially going away in Champions League.
He is also a rapist apparently. He would need to get up to speed. I’d say with his ability, its inevitable he’ll be back.
