"-I talked to Ferguson. He didnt want me to go out on loan abroad again. Molde was the club in question, because I already have a great relationship with Ole and he knows how to get the best out of me in practice. I have a great amount of respect for him.

-However, Fergie wants me to stay in England. Maybe I'll end up playing for Ole at some point later in my career. Hull is just one hour away from Manchester, they're currently 6th in the Championship and it's already 5 other United-players there. Things arent clear quite yet, but I think it'll end up with me going on loan to Hull. As soon as I feel fit enough, I'm going. I dont really care where I play right now, as long as I get some gametime on the highest level possible for me."

Hull would be a good opportunity for him to get back on track. Hopefully he'll stay fit for the rest of the season, and if so happens, I think he will have a good chance to get some game time for Hull.

Hull would be ideal I think. I think sometimes people are sentimental, a loan to molde would be a waste of a year (with all due respect to them). He's wasted enough time.

Hull would be great for King.

Would be a good move. He would already know plenty of players (Evans, Brady, Chester, Stewart)

Poor sod, his loan move has completely distorted his awareness of distance.I hope he doesn't travel for an hour then stop

Nick Barmby hopes to get 15 goals out of King during his spell. Seems like quite some expectations concidering how much football he's played so far this season.

He is a natural finisher, Burrow, so it could happen. He should thank Robby Brady for the glowing recommendation that help land him this gig.

If he is fit and plays in a team that arent rubbish and dont have any of the ball, he will do well.

Think he'll do well if he stays fit. Not necessarily in terms of scoring massively heavily, don't think he is a natural finisher to be honest, but he's got all the attributes to be a real threat.

Hows he doing for Hull? Had high hopes for him but not hearing a lot nowadays. Seems a long time ago he was making cameo appearances for us in the cup games.

King scored a cracker for Hull and assisted another at the weekend. Good to see him do well. I wouldn't mind seeing him get a few games here next season.

I think he might get his chance next season when Berba and Owen depart.

As a striker, he is miles ahead of Michael Keane.
I hope he goes out on loan again.. Some place where he will get games. He wont get much game time at United next season.

Michael's a full back, but still

When King busted through a couple years back, I really thought he'd make it here. Had all the attributes to be a top striker, but then he kind of disappeared off on obscure loans that didn't seem to work out.

The same thing seems to have happened with our best youth striker from last season - John Cofie.

Will Keane looks very solid, but he's definitely not ready next season. It'll be loan time for him.

So yeah, will be interesting if King comes back to United, or if he signs for a smaller club. Does he still have his speed? I know he was lightening a couple years ago, but has had some injuries.

I know you mean Will Keane, but surely he'll be looking for a loan next season. King has already had a couple of loans (albeit with mixed success) and is a yr older so i'd expect him to be higher in the pecking order.

Ah feic off im only back from holidays, mush like brain! I meant Will...

King could easy end up going down the Frazier Campbell/Blake route. Keane has a bit more about him imo...

Will Keane was better than Cofie last season. Will scored a hat-trick in the youth cup semi's vs chelsea as well as being the tournaments top scorer and John Cofie struggled to get in the side ahead of him. Although John was scoring for fun in the league and did pick up a couple of injuries.

Keane has always been the more talented of the two though, and has even more potential than King imo. Out of all the young strikers at the club Will Keane is definitely the most highly rated and has the best chance of making it here.

I prefer King myself. You've got to be very special to make it here as a striker without good speed and power. Even Berbatov came up short. Let's not forget that Berbatov's agent said we're looking to add more speed into attack. I just don't think Keane will ever fit in, though he is a decent player.

I wouldn't be surprised if Will Keane did a Scholes and ended up in midfield long term.

I think King has a lot more to offer than Campbell or Ebanks-Blake ever did. Also I'm pretty sure Mr MUJAC rates him highly as well. The main thing stopping me from saying King should be 4th choice or thereabouts for us next season is that he constantly gets injured.

I would be...

When has he ever played in midfield for our youth/reserve teams? And, what is the obsession with turning players into central midfielders at this club instead of just buying one? He is too good a finisher to be dropped back into midfield

agree 100% with 68-99-08. his finishing is far too good for him to drop back into midfield. i hate drawing comparisons with young players, but think of him as a Sheringham MK II...

That's exactly what I've been thinking for a while now.

I think he's a bit quicker across the ground though. Which isn't hard, to be fair.

Shit, I had such high hopes for King. I can't remember the last time I was so excited about an attacker from our reserves (I thought he'd be better than Welbeck at one point). Injuries have really stunted King's progress so far, but there's still time yet. Someone of his dribbling ability and pace is always going to have the potential to be dangerous...I just hope injury hasn't damaged his pace already.

Judging by his goal at the weekend and a few other bits of his play, id say the pace is still there.
