Hirving Lozano

[Class of 63]

Been following the lads career since before his dad was born, we must get him at all costs.

 

[Igor Drefljak]

Likes to dribble, likes to cross? Get his agent on the phone!

Edit: Completed more crosses last season than Martial, Lingard, Sanchez, Rashford and Mata... combined.

Defensive contribution - Weak

Zip back up boys

 

[Nate Dogg]

Not good enough, I don't think he will get into the West Ham side.

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

I saw an article from TMW last day about the same.
For 35 million, I'll love to have him
Can he play as RW?

Yes, but he plays far more as a LW and has always been more effective there when I've seen him. I watch a bit of Mexican football and liked him a lot before he joined PSV. I don't think he'd be a great signing though, personally. I do like Pulisic better and consider him to have a much higher ceiling and more mature head on his shoulders. I'd rather monitor him for a year or two and get him and have someone else like a Willian (or even just play Alexis on the right and Martial on the left) fill the position for now.

 

[reddevil702]

Not good enough at the moment. Decision making is very suspect and I don't think he would translate well to the PL. Can see him moving to a mid table team in Germany or Spain in a 1 - 2 years.

 

[starman]

Am I imagining things, but didnt we try signing him 4 or 5 years agos but there was a work permit problem or was that another Mexico or South American player?

EDIT: was thinking of Angelo Henriquez

I simply do not understand why we don't do this.

Now that Douglas Costa has signed for Juve, I think Pulisic is the next best thing for our RW.
Not sure why we arent in for him... or play Sanchez on the right.

Sanchez was fantastic on the RW for Udinese and Barca

We were linked with him 2 seasons ago tbf.

I think the best thing for Pulisic is to stay at Dortmund for now. He's only 19 and I am not sure jumping in at one of the big English clubs is great for his development. He could either be rotated too much or not settle as a starter soon enough.

Of course we should be keeping close tabs on him and may have to strike a deal a little earlier than is ideal since I'm sure others will be monitoring him and will want to beat us to the deal.

 

[TheFlagStaysDown]

can he play a LB?

 

[Amar__]

So we are signing players now based on their WC performances? I thought Ed revolutionised our scouting system, or something.

 

[JohnLocke]

My mate supports Barca and said they had been looking at him before the World Cup started.

Sign him up!!

Liked the look of him during the WC but never seen or heard of him before that though.

 

[GiddyUp]

I'd actually prefer playing Sanchez on the right and Martial on the left. Good wide players should be able to play on either side imo and I think this combination would produce the greater good for us. It feels like Jose's issues with Martial are personal though.

Or maybe Martial doing the same thing over and over and over with the same results, losing the ball. Personally i would prefer Martial as our second striker option. Unfortunately it seems he wants it all without the hard graft to achieve it.

 

[TheFlagStaysDown]

good talent but he should choose a stepping stone team for his own good, something like Everton/Westham or even Wolves. We need more established player, think Chong will explode next season and will have a good preseason too, looks top talent could do the same work as Lozano

 

[rojinegroz]

EDIT: was thinking of Angelo Henriquez

Bit of a tangent here but I'm surprised this fellow got anywhere the United team. I follow the team he played with this last season and he was brutal to watch. Missing a few sitters and just bad all around play. He had a bit of a good spell where he managed to grab a goal but he strikes me as the type of player that's all effort and little talent.

 

[ivaldo]

I've seen him play over 4 times now, and let me tell you, this lad Lazarro is the real deal.

We actually signed him and he got a few appearances for us.

 

[luke511]

I'd love him here, Mourinho's track record with young wingers makes me feel a bit pessimistic though.

 

[Aloysius's Back 3]

Does he track back to defence every time he does not face the goal?

 

[GM K]

Isn't he another right footed player who prefers playing on the left a la Sanchez? That said he looks a player from what I've seen during this World Cup.

He can play on the left, right and center.

95 pace, get him signed!

 

[rojinegroz]

I had no idea who he was but since I found a pic of him and Sir Alex I was pretty excited when Atlas signed him. We had Angelo and Ravel Morrison so I started dreaming of a team full of ex-United disappointing youths.

 

[Ace]

We did sign him, however he did not make an appearance for us.

 

[mad1max954]

35million really isn’t much for a top ranked attacking wide player who is well thought of. Not in this market.

Worst case he gets loaned out a couple of times / we make a small (10mil) loss. Best case, turns into a hazard.

Arguing that he should go to an Everton doesn’t make sense for me because you are basically saying that if he does work out we can buy him in a couple of years for like 80 mils.

This is exactly the type of signing we should be making. Young progressive who could be somebody with minimal risk/ exposure.

 

[Nick7]

Could have sworn he played a couple of league cup matches.

 

[ivaldo]

Yes.

 

[Ferguson]

If he lacks defensive discipline, then Mourinho won't be happy

I agree with this , 35M in these times might be worth taking a punt on

I agree with your sentiments. However, we have signed young promising wingers over the last few years. The issue is young players these days want game time, and clubs want instant success. We have signed Zaha, Depay, and Martial but neither the club or the players had patience. Mourinho also signed Salah and De Bruyne as young wingers but had to sell.

 

[Ban]

Is this on?

Not really

It is a fair point well made, but that comes down to the club and how we manage that. It’s a good problem to have after all. If you are good enough you will still come through.

Times like this you really appreciate Sir Alex and what he did for the kids. Hopefully Jose can follow suit but time will tell.

 

[Hanky panky]

Impressed me in world cup. I would take him with that price. Pacey and and can dribble. Mexico's best player in tournament.

 

[Infra-red]

Defensive contribution - Weak

True, but his discipline is "Very Weak" aka he's a snide bastard. José will love him.

 

[Ali Dia]

I think he’d be a cracking signing. Free scoring and plays right across the front. Gets goals from the left or right. Decent price/age/profile

 

[Zoo]

Raiola is his agent.

 

[SammyUnited_83]

Are we basing this from an article in the Express ?!

 

[GM K]

I'd love him here, Mourinho's track record with young wingers makes me feel a bit pessimistic though.

Arjen Roben, Callejon, Di Maria, Jese, Joe Cole,...?

 

[Hanky panky]

Raiola is his agent.

Then we will get this done if we want.
