Honestly, the moaning is insane here sometimes.He’s got a slight injury, he’s not lost a leg, and you’re the first person to call our pursuit of him a rush

is there a chance that the arrival of an injury player was the reason for Hojlund delay in being unveiled and that the deal had to be adjusted in some matter as a result ?I have to question why we were in such a rush to bring him in if he was injured. Could have saved money and prioritized Amrabat
Good point.
Nope. They never signed him to play second fiddle. They signed him to be first teamer. He got benched because he ended up being shit.Liverpool - Nunez
Whether people like it or not I genuinely think Greenwood will play for us this season.
Why is it happening that way - I’ve no idea as to why hes benched.Can't believe we're benching him for weeks to cover up Murtough and Arnold's incompetence.

I think it might be longer than a few weeks even if you're correct. A long time playing no competitive football. It's everything, physical fitness, mental fitness and dealing with whatever furore it would create, in match technical sharpness. I honestly don't think Christmas would be too conservative in estimating a timeframe before he's actually useful.Whether people like it or not I genuinely think Greenwood will play for us this season.
The fact Utd are leaving it this late to make an announcement about his situation suggests we want to keep him and utilise him. If he was going out on loan he would have gone by now and there would be no official announcement. There would be more noise around clubs being interested too. The fact we are going to release a statement or announcement suggests he’s staying. So yes I think he will be one of the options but not for the first few weeks until he gets match fitness.
This is it, if we were loaning him there would be no announcement and if he was getting jettisoned the announcement would have been way sooner.Whether people like it or not I genuinely think Greenwood will play for us this season.

Really hope he doesn't, It will be impossible for me to cheer him on or even be happy if he scores. Really a persona non grata for me that little cnut.Whether people like it or not I genuinely think Greenwood will play for us this season.

Yeah we should have got a cheap experience backup striker because Rashford is better wide and Martial is a sicknoteA backup striker would be nice but it's not the end of the world.
This fella is being relied upon and that's all there is to it. ETH isn't viewing him as a young, inexperienced striker he needs to baby. Look at his words. You don't say he is the one we've been waiting for just to put him on easy street. He didn't take the pressure off with that statement, he made clear how he views him, if the fee wasn't already obvious enough. Apart from when he's talking about transfers ETH is very direct and straight forward, so take it for what it is.
For the backup role we still have a combination of Martial and shifting Rashford into the role and playing Garnacho who is extremely talented and needs game time. Sancho is a real desperation choice, I don't like that. But I guess at a push.
He's also not even injured anymore - it's a question of he picked up something slight with Atalanta before meaning he just isn't match fit currently . The articles already said he'd still be trainingHe’s got a slight injury, he’s not lost a leg, and you’re the first person to call our pursuit of him a rush
FFSPromising payer, but not worth the fee. Scored nine goals in leauge last season out of Atalanta’s 66. For ten million more we could have got Kane.
A few weeks to get match fit, not to get over an injury.They say few weeks. I'd expect him to make his debut off the bench in the Forest game.
And levy has just gone on holiday to Miami for 3 weeks!No chance Levy would have accepted £80m. Bayern have offered more than that and it hasn't been accepted yet
If he doesn't score in his first game, he's Lukaku v.2.I give it three weeks before RedCafe deem him a waste of money!!
I give it 3 hoursI give it three weeks before RedCafe deem him a waste of money!!
You don't get match fit from training.Why does he need several weeks to get match fit, if he is already training?
It’ll be announced on Friday 11th. Mark my words.Kind of crazy we are a week from the new season and they haven't announced if MG is coming back, being sold or being loaned out.
Because hes injuredWhy does he need several weeks to get match fit, if he is already training?
Yep, with his reintegration it was going to be announced at a time we can bury the feck out of it, I imagined it would come tacked on to a signing announcement and have him start games in America to take the heat away from the squad but this strategy is the next best option they have.It’ll be announced on Friday 11th. Mark my words.
All managers will be having their press conferences ahead of the first game. Media will be running around busy trying to cover it all. Team news etc
United will announce on Friday afternoon, after ETH has finished his press, that Greenwood is being integrated back into the academy to commence training.
It will get some attention of course, then everyone will be busy over the weekend following all the games. Burnley are playing City on Friday night, so that will take the initial heat off on Friday night, then a busy weekend full of first games.
United play on Monday night, so we can avoid the first wave of attention. Sure ETH will likely be asked a few questions on Monday night, but everyone is busy getting home from work etc and Monday night coverage just isn’t the same as weekends.
Yeah, this sounds extremely plausible. I think MG/his team will accompany it with some kind of individual statement though, maybe over the first round weekend..It’ll be announced on Friday 11th. Mark my words.

United will briefly announce on the website on Friday afternoon, after ETH has finished his press and disappeared, that Greenwood is being integrated back into the academy to commence training.

Actually you do.You don't get match fit from training.
Actually, they're more likely in this together with Ten Hag to force the Glazers to realize that United desperately need a back-up striker. They might even make the team lose a game or two on purpose during Højlund's absence just for that. Trying hard with the conspiracy theory here.Can't believe we're benching him for weeks to cover up Murtough and Arnold's incompetence.

Being "match fit" is not just about being physically fit. Matches are played at a different intensity to training in that they're not planned out in terms of when you are at high intensity and when you take your breaks.Actually you do.
All of the intense cardiovascular work in all sports, like football, the NFL, etc, is done in pre-season training. It's called 'match fit' not because you get fit during the match but because you arrive at the requisite level of cardiovascular development to be counted match fit when the match arrives.
This is why, in pre-seasons, so much emphasis is placed upon high-intensity short sprint intervals immediately upon returning to training, because it is the best and quickest way to reach a point of being able to play for a full 90 minutes. It's not the playing of the matches that gets you physically ready to play matches; it's the high intensity cardio work with elite level personal trainers in training get you 'match fit'.
This is also heavily emphasised in the Hard Knocks series about NFL training camps. The work you do with the PT's are the main work of arriving at match fitness. Matches are more about tactical cohesion, team fluidity. Elements of mental and intellectual coherence.
Well, if he's not available for a few weeks, that's hardly 'slight'.He’s got a slight injury, he’s not lost a leg, and you’re the first person to call our pursuit of him a rush
Still hoping we get a cheap one but think the odds are virtually zero of it happeningActually, they're more likely in this together with Ten Hag to force the Glazers to realize that United desperately need a back-up striker.

We could / should have announced it today, 30 mins before announcing Hojlund.Whether people like it or not I genuinely think Greenwood will play for us this season.

Surely they have made a decision by nowWe could / should have announced it today, 30 mins before announcing Hojlund.
Only 1 week left before season starts.
Makes senseIt’ll be announced on Friday 11th. Mark my words.

HIIT (Sprint interval training) is designed to replicate match intensity sprints and endurance in repeated blocks of training sessions. It's the training that brings the athlete to the match ready to engage in match sprint intervals.Being "match fit" is not just about being physically fit. Matches are played at a different intensity to training in that they're not planned out in terms of when you are at high intensity and when you take your breaks.
Anyone who's played football will tell you training is not the same as playing a game. Personally, I need about three-four games before I can really play a full game without having to seriously think about when I'm running and when I'm not.
