Thanks for letting me know!It has before. Anderson was loaned to Fiorentina, and Mata took the 8. Anderson took 28 when he briefly returned.

Yet again you have absolutely nothing constructive to say. True to form, I see.True to form, I see.
To you? No, why would I? It's not like you do anything but piss and moan, so why should anyone waste time and energy by putting effort into a reply to you?Yet again you have absolutely nothing constructive to say. True to form, I see.
Imagine how hard they worked on it
Surely this counts as a crime. It's similar to writing the wrong name on a birthday cake.
So stop quoting me, weirdo.To you? No, why would I? It's not like you do anything but piss and moan, so why should anyone waste time and energy by putting effort into a reply to you?
Unforgiveable in the internet age. Reminds me of that episode in the Simpsons where they turn up with ‘Moo’ instead of ‘Moe’ on body paint.

It's pretty normal for most top clubs to scout players from a very young age. United's scouting at youth level works separately from the club's first teal scouting with youth scouts dedicated to scouting kids from a very young age. I actually mentioned in one of my posts last week about United following the player since he was playing in Denmark.Tweet

is anyone believing this tripe? 47 times - why so many?
United PR machine is so desperate to make it look like they have their house in order.
He was obviously precocious - maybe they tried to sign him for the academy a couple of times after encountering him playing against our age groups at different levels, and sent scouts to games in which he was playing to also scout other players on same/opposite at the same time (unlikely every visit was solely to see him, at least) , but his family preferred for him to stay at Birmingham. For better or worse, they seem pretty single-minded in directing his career and it's obviously worked well enough so far. Though 47 does sounds excessive - 20 or something sounds more plausible...Tweet

It's funny because I think it was Whitwell from Athletic who said that Hojlund wasn't on the list as highly and they pushed for Kolo Muani, but Ten Hag wanted him.Tweet

For 10 million more we still wouldn’t have got Kane. Wouldn’t even get his right foot for that. They wouldn’t sell to us for anything less than 150m. Bayern may get him for 90-100m.Promising 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.
Both can be true. Watched him loads cause there was potential but wasn't on the list thinking he wasn't ready for the first team?It's funny because I think it was Whitwell from Athletic who said that Hojlund wasn't on the list as highly and they pushed for Kolo Muani, but Ten Hag wanted him.
So athletic are basically saying we watched him loads and he still wasn't really that high up? nice PR spin attempt if so
Right but that doesn't really put a good PR on Hojlund. Basically saying the club didn't really think he was ready but Ten Hag pushedBoth can be true. Watched him loads cause there was potential but wasn't on the list thinking he wasn't ready for the first team?
Idk, I don't see it that way. It seems we saw the potential for a while but took Ten Hag to fastforward the move to get him signed for the first team. Isn't it how we see it as well? He has potential but its an experiment whether he's ready to lead the attack for United. Its an exciting one though.Right but that doesn't really put a good PR on Hojlund. Basically saying the club didn't really think he was ready but Ten Hag pushed
He actually says that Højlund wasn't mentioned in an earlier interview, but Ramos was, along with a couple of others. That doesn't mean he wasn't in the list, would be weird to name drop everyone they were looking into.It's funny because I think it was Whitwell from Athletic who said that Hojlund wasn't on the list as highly and they pushed for Kolo Muani, but Ten Hag wanted him.

To be fair, it that was a PR attempt it doesn’t doesn’t exactly make us look competent.He was obviously precocious - maybe they tried to sign him for the academy a couple of times after encountering him playing against our age groups at different levels, and sent scouts to games in which he was playing to also scout other players on same/opposite at the same time (unlikely every visit was solely to see him, at least) , but his family preferred for him to stay at Birmingham.

Who do you support?Poor mans Haaland.
A lot speculation is 17, so we need to move Fred on first before it's officially revealed.Which number will he wear?
Just ignore the daft tweets.You’ll hear pundits saying we overpaid massively but you didn’t hear that with Nunez who has the same amount of goals but started more games, or mudryk for Chelsea who I don’t even think has a goal does he?
Bit different though isn’t it tbf - Nunez was actually signed on the back of 26 goals in 28 games whereas Rasmus is being signed on the back of 9 goals.You’ll hear pundits saying we overpaid massively but you didn’t hear that with Nunez who has the same amount of goals but started more games, or mudryk for Chelsea who I don’t even think has a goal does he?
I can appreciate their effort. Given the 5 brain cells they have it could have been worse. Could have been WELL CUM HØJLUND theatrically in your dreams.

Ye but I’d say the Italian league is better than the Portuguese league. Also the same thing applies about the starts. Nunez started every game for Benfica, Hojlund was on the bench a lot. And Nunez played for a team that dominates their league, Hojlund played for like the 4th best team in their league.Bit different though isn’t it tbf - Nunez was actually signed on the back of 26 goals in 28 games whereas Rasmus is being signed on the back of 9 goals.
Not saying Rasmus will be worse or better than Darwin.
Fred with #17
Is it made of bacon and butter cookies?!The most Danish hair ever.
Youth scouting is closely related to senior though. I did a bit of work with United's senior scouting department a few years ago and they would routinely bring up 16-year-olds who would have been monitored for several seasons.It's pretty normal for most top clubs to scout players from a very young age. United's scouting at youth level works separately from the club's first teal scouting with youth scouts dedicated to scouting kids from a very young age. I actually mentioned in one of my posts last week about United following the player since he was playing in Denmark.
Agreed. He was always supposed to be the young prospect alongside an experienced player and now he has become the main man even though he wasn’t cheap. Hope he’s up to it.Frustrating we haven't signed an experienced 9 who could have filled in until he's ready
at least they were there supporting the club. Where were you, tenholes?

Cba trying to spell his surname. Rasmus it is.
What’s difficult about H-Ø-J-L-U-N-D? It’s seven letters for goodness sake!Yeah, I'm going to go with Rasmus too.
Here hereWe don't need this ridiculous comparison
He’s got 2 feet, and 6 inches….. allegedlyMost sources say 191cm and feck feet and inch.
Todd Kane from Charlton.For ten million more we could have got Kane
