    Do you think Hojlund is able to do what Kane did?

    Do you think that Hojlund will ever be able to do what Kane did?
    No. Another overpriced overhyped talent that we've been happy to take. I've said all along. You save the Onana money, keep De Gea and add that to the Hojlund money to get Kane. But are a big fat zero of a team.

    Why is it relevant? Nobody is claiming that Højlund is or will ever be as good as Kane.

    Do you actually believe that Levy would've sold him to us for anything less than £200 million? Please stop pretending we could've just bought Kane instead of Højlund, move on, and stop these fecking Harry Kane comments.
    That is rubbish. Do you actually believe that Levy would refuse 120 mil offer? Refuse to earn 20 million euros more than he did?

    Damage was done long before this game, Varane should have been playing, ETH has signed his own P45 , he has no idea how to play attacking football, no idea how to manage an elite squad with multiple personalities.

    I said a few months ago, how many games does ETH have to lose before those on the fence change their mind hopefully now all United fans agree ETH must go tonight !
    We won't know until he actually manages one.

    Bayern are not trying you mean, because it’s clear to see they didn’t even have to
    Of course, they went in with full strength team but they are not trying, sure mate. :lol: Of course they didn't have to, but you can clearly see Tuchel wants the win here badly after the embarrassing defeat in the league.

    They went up a gear and immediately scored. We are definitely the worst team in the group.

    It is relevant. Because if you want to be a top team, you need world class players. And if you spend 80 million on a player, you expect a world class player, or near that.
    What does Kane have to do with Højlund?

    We can agree that £80 million is too much for Højlund, but we were never able to sign Kane. We did not choose Højlund over Kane. You might as well compare him with Mbappe or Haaland with that stupid logic.

    Sometimes I wish we could just say feck being Man United the money machine and just go back to basics. Get rid of all players contracts and re negotiate for much lower amounts but just slightly over the middle of the pack. Get the players who really want to be here because this will be as high as they can ever hope to go. The amount of money wasted in salaries and transfer fees is pretty historical.

    We were never getting Kane. Levy told PL clubs that he wasn't going to sell him to a rival.

    Hojlund seems a bit of passenger a d it seems he is becoming a ghost in matches. Not getting many chances in a match and perhaps confidence is low?

    We need so e Glazer OUT chants!

    What if I told you were equally as shite, if not, worst, before McTominay came into the team?

    Before, we were all saying Rashford.

    Fact is, it's more than one player and some of the players are just not good enough. Is McTominay one of them? That's subjective. However, without his goals in the league, we'd be fecked.
    McT is a last 10 mins player if we are losing. He couldn't pass the salt at a dinner table. Stop pretending for 80 mins he makes us better.

    Just play the kids the rest of the season. Eth will probably get sacked after the Liverpool game

    So we start with Gore, Hannibal, Pellistri and Hugill?
    These two (and Mainoo) are no worse than the aforementioned players. You don't need to start them, just use your fecking bench. It's not rocket science.

    Onana, terrible keeper. Pretty much knocked us out the UCL on his own.

    Terrible positioning for their goal tonight too.
    Onana has played his part in knocking United out of Europe however tonight I'd be looking more at the woeful effort of the midfielders trying to tackle in the build up and Wan Bissaka playing the goal scorer onside.

    Exactly.

    Unfortunately, Kane did not have the same agent as Ten Hag.

    Amrabat and Evans must be our slowest defence of all time

    And what difference Kane would do for this team? Look at the players in our team. There is no pattern of play, no build-ups, no attacking sequences. Every action is just a random pile of shit. Accidental, luck, moments. It is what it is, and Kane wouldn't be able to change anything.

    So now Ten Hag brings on Mainoo, feck this guy annoys the hell out of me.

    Plays well and looks like our only proper midfielder only to be dropped, let’s be honest here I think Ten Hag‘s player management is just about worst then every other post Ferguson manager.
