The price is steep but we are not getting Kane for a reasonable fee unless he goes on strike and he won't go on strike. So it's a moot point.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Really think we should walk away and not indulge Ten Hag on this one.
There's no way Levy will sell to us for that figure.
Yeah what we are doing is nonsensical.
Like just make a decision. Keep loan or sell. There's only 3 options and it's been well over half a year since the case closed.
Looks a bit amerturish that we still don't know what we are going to do
And have no striker again next season? That's just asking for trouble
I’m backing Ten Hag on this one.
Kane would be great but would be past his best in 2/3 years anyway.
This seems to fit more in with the longer term vision and while there might not be an immediate impact hopefully it pays dividends in the long term.

Victim in the body bag?One hand (or finger) on the zipper?
You have to look at the total cost during the contract, and Kane’s wages would be massivly higher
Same. PL is step up, if he scores around 8-12 goals in his first season it is fine. He brings more than just goals.
If the lad is decent, has a good attitude, and can stay fit, then with the state of strikers in the modern game he'll be worth every penny of £60m. He could be with us for 10 years+ and at this point any reliable striker option who isn't an absolute donkey / appalling prick has got to be valuable to us, even if he never makes the grade as our long term first choice.
I'm not sure what to think... on the one hand you have the caf experts who worry that their friends who support rival clubs will banter with them on Whatsapp if we pay 60 million and he doesn't score loads, and on the other, you have the best manager we've had since Ferguson retired who thinks this lad is the one he needs and presumably an analytics team who have done a proper check of the data and agreed.
Better stop thinking then
Here comes the Walk away crowd.
He's under instruction to sell from the owner though? If Spurs want money for him and he rejects Bayern move - which I expect he will, then Kane is an option. I think that would be the figure for a player turning 30 this season with 1 year on his contract.
Don’t understand why some would rather sign Kane who is old and will cost about 5 times as much.
Kane would cost £120m minimum, with an astronomical salary. Plus he has no resale value either.
We have freed up a lot of wages in the past year. Ronaldo, Cavani, DDG. The're would be wage budget and Kane makes us title contenders. I'm just not convinced by Hojlund, especially not for a huge fee.
Because Hojlund is technically very poor and far from prolific.
I see his situation similar to Osimhen when he moved from Lille. Hojlund's qualities and potential are obvious to me but the risk are also obvious especially at kind of fee. But I don't think that I prefer to wait for someone else or that it is smarter because the striker market lacks safe options and has lacked them for while.
He and Amrabat turning down PSG and Liverpool is so refreshing. Sure they're not world beaters, but it'll be really nice to continue to add players with that hunger to play for United.
What's the source for that? It's a straight choice between sell now and lose for free next summer. We can negotiate with Kane from January.
Awful, awful take. Seen a 2 minute clip of him failing to control the ball properly, so suddenly he is technically very poor
I think the owner has bigger problems at the moment.
Watched all of his touches from most big games he's played. I think it's you who has only watched his "best skillz and goalz".Awful, awful take. Seen a 2 minute clip of him failing to control the ball properly, so suddenly he is technically very poor
Watch his performances here and tell me honestly that you think he’s ready to lead the line for United:

Did you just lazily assume what someone is basing their take off? He is quite unpolished at times. If you watch his all touch videos and not stick to highlights you'd actually understand this.
If you think he is technically very poor, then you simply don't know the player, and it's quite obvious to everyone who do. Watching some of his touches in a YouTube compilation really says nothing.
The Mbappe circus proving to him that the PSG money isn't worth it.
Ever since someone posted that 2 min video of him not controlling the ball brilliantly, he's "technically very poor". He is absolutely unpolished, but technically very poor is simply objectively wrong. Watch his Denmark matches, for instance.

And the irony in you saying I assumed where his take was based from, and you follow up by doing the exact same
Spurs will drag the Kane saga out until the very last day of the transfer window. Only using us to panic Bayern into breaking their transfer record. Either way, we lose out.
Rasmus is within our control, we are in the driving seat. We are in charge of our own destiny. The way it should be.
Trust in Ten Hag, he hasn't let us down yet.
I think this lad is going to be special. He looks the real deal. Has much more to his game than a tap in merchant. He can hold the ball up, take people on, drive at defenders, drift out wide, play others in. Can shoot with his left or right and he is great in the air. He has that strikers instinct and anticipation in the six yard box. 20 years old, so lots of energy and hunger. Ten Hag and Benny McCarthy will make him better.
Am I missing something? He looks pretty good in that video?
Watch the Twitter thread that I posted. All touches in games he played last year.Ever since someone posted that 2 min video of him not controlling the ball brilliantly, he's "technically very poor".

There's a thread of about 10 performances there. I thought his first touch looked heavy throughout.
I'm genuinely confused. Is that supposed to be a fail compilation? He did very, very few things wrong?
Posting those videos as a gotcha moment is so funny He looks far from a disaster.
He looks far from a disaster.I think that you shared the wrong compilation.
We are slowly rebuilding a broken mismanaged club/squad not trying to buy the league this season. This signing fits perfectly with that ethos. We have so many anxious fans. We weren’t going to win the league this year with Kane and Oshimen either. Enjoy the journey. We are slowly improving and evolving.
70m euros for him is crazy. Between this guy, Antony and Sancho, and if Martial doesn't fix his injury issues, we're going to be relying on Rashford for goals again.
I'm starting to question whoever's in charge of our transfers because it's not been great.

All i have seen from Højlund is a young guy mad with football and a nose for goal. My only worry when the rumours came out about this transfer is lack of minutes, but it seems Ten Hag wants him as the main man, so i'm all for this transfer.
Him being a United fan is also a huge plus, and his attitude fits what TH is trying to build.

He didn't base it off the 2 minute video. He said that himself.Ever since someone posted that 2 min video of him not controlling the ball brilliantly, he's "technically very poor".

So yes you did assume.
