Bring him and Hwang in
I mean, we'd be 2nd or third in the league now if we could convert penalties
Penling.
It's exactly what we do need.
His pressing is very impressive. Workhorse.
I’m starting to believe the hype. Bring him to OT.

7 goals in 3 and a half CL games with 3 against Napoli and 1 against Pool that is serious for a 19 year old will finish the season with 50+ at this rate
Only taken 8 penalties in his senior career but has scored every one so far.
One goal every 38th minute in CL this season.
Also, add to his tally that he has given away many penalties to team mates. He could have had more goals this season if not. Also he has had an injury and been sick so he has recently missed some matches.
Anyways, he is young and nobody knows the future. But he has a skillset and physical attributes that is seriously rare. I believe.

I can't believe some of these posts calling him a "penalty merchant". Yes, he scores penalties (something we seem to have a hard time doing), but he does a lot more than that. The kid has now scored 7 goals in 4 Champions League matches, not to mention his 12 goals in 11 games in his domestic league this year. Of course, many will point out it's a subpar league but of course those same people will completely ignore his scoring record so far vs Liverpool and Napoli. Haters gonna hate...
We were both kidding with the pen comments. Huge fan myself.
it was in jest obviously
Which was made so blantantly clear by your use of emoji's and other indicators people use when they are being sarcastic...
At this rate we might not be able to sign him by end of season. Top Europeans clubs will start a bidding war for him.
Rashford takes our penalties, we don’t need him.
They stole your post on Bluemoon.
I think they don't even have enough posters on that forum.
It's a certainty that top European clubs are after him.
We'd have a good chance if we're interested. Of course so would other top European teams. I don't think it would be easy for him to be automatic starter for Barcelona (Suarez/Griezmann), Bayern (Lewandwski) or Madrid (Benzema/Jovic). Were the one big club whose number 9 is not really sorted. Martial is scoring at a good rate this season but Haaland being part of a two pronged strikeforce is ideal for both club and the players.

We really, really, need to buy him.
Personally I'd throw 60m at them in January, maybe even come back with a second bid with heaps of performance add ons too. Proper turn his head and let him know, football men and money men here want him.
Even if they don't accept, he'll play the rest of the season knowing where he's going in the summer and no other club will be able to poach him away.

He has scored 26 penalties in a row. Has only missed 1, at U16 level.
1 season at United and he'll get that success rate down to 50%

It seems there is an increasing number of posters with a sense of humour bypass who do not understand sarcasm at all.
A little harsh there chief. There are a lot of stupid posts on this forum, some exactly like the ones we were parodying, that’s what makes it amusing, no?
Seems decent from what I've seen. If the fee is €60m, that could turn out to be a bargain as we could have him here for 10 years. Hope the fact that he has played under Ole could sway it in our favour.
I like 9 and 13. Sheer determination, the ball simply has to cross the line one way or another.
Huge potential and won't come cheap especially with the hype surrounding him and with all the supposedly big clubs after him, clubs that are currently more successful than us should I say, we will definitely have to pay top money for him.
Is a gamble as it's not guarantee to work out like most of our signings post Sir Alex Ferguson but it will be a risk worth taking considering his potential. Would hate to see him tear it apart for another top club
If the interest in him is genuine surely we are doing work behind the scenes to obtain either in January or in the summer? Would the fact that Ole is Norwegian and has already coached him be a factor in him wanting to join us over other clubs?

Or hype
£86m
Much of it written by you
This is more of the big swinging dicks school of football which brought us Maguire for £80m. Remember him? The player we were told would score us 6 goals/season from corners.
Meanwhile - away from masturbation fantasies - back to the stats - Haaland makes just 19 passes per game with a pass completion rate of just 61% - which will get worse in the PL. He wins just ½ an arial per game despite his massive height of 195cm. He doesn't really tackle nor intercept - so no defending from the front.
Would help if we could actually put in a decent ball. Our corners and crossing in general is piss poor.
You know it’s bad when Pereira puts in a couple of good corners in one game and gets huge praise for it.
My worry is that in his goals video he gets put into some real good positions to have a crack on goal. We barely create 2 chances in this team... :/
Hwang actually reminds me of Firmino a lot!
They want 60? Give them 100!
I guess that includes yourself considering I even used emoji's to show my sarcasm
Fred cost us 50m from Russian League. And so does AWB from Crystal Palace with one season at PL. Also if I were him, I wouldn't come to United at this moment. The manager could change, the owner could change, the team is in shamble. All we have to offer is a gigantic wage, maybe close to Rashy and Martial, who many aren't satisfied with them now.
And we have too many "prospects" on the book already. I'd like us to go back to the Fergie era, where we have one or two established older strikers (in terms of maturity with stable performance). Then have one or two prospects, allow them room to breath and slowly learn their trait with senior strikers are still there. Just like when we had Rooney and Ronaldo, with Ruud, Saha, and Smith as seniors.
But maybe it's too much to ask from the current management under Ed.
He has now scored 26 penalties in a row. The last penalty he missed was at U16 level.
Not a surprise, his penalty run up isn't obvious and his shooting is confident.
Take his penalty last night, he ran up, did a fake to shoot in the left and then swapped to the right. The keeper went with the fake.
Compare it to how Rashford takes his. He looks, starts his run up, looks again, does a shuffle then shoots in the same corner. By that point the keeper is already moving and ready.
Yeah, he's definitely found a technique that he's very confident in executing. Norwegian media interviewed the goalie who saved his pen back in the day, who said that he went up to Håland, said which way he was going to dive and asked him which way he was going to shoot. What happened was that Håland slipped and the ball trickled easily towards the goalie

psyched him out clearly. That'll be a story for the grand children!Yeah, he plays in the Norwegian third division, so this'll definitely be a career highlight for that goalie
