Who will play up top? We wont get many bids for either players and who will we buy that wont want an absolute fortune on wages? Do we pool the money for them both into one player? What if he gets injured?

Thats the problem, the one who seems to be a bit better at the moment is likely to be the one sold.

But you can't think Hojlund and Zirkzee are the best goal threat Manchester United can possibly get.

I haven't got a list of names because I haven't got a scouting network available to me but I refuse to believe it.

It doesn't have to be all about the No.9 either. The two 10's have to be a goal threat.
 
Think he would be fantastic for a team that's not Amorim's.

Definitely keep until he fails under a manager that can use him as a False 9 - though I think the whole false 9 and inverted forward tactic has died down alot.
 
He really knows how to treat a football.

Wish he'd also violently kick it into a net at times, but he's a joy to watch.
 
Berbatov without the goals.

If the striker and other 10 can do the scoring he will be great as the other ten to bring the ball up the field.
 
I keep saying it that this guy is a proper baller.
Amazing skills and attitude.
I really like him
 
He's very likeable if he could add goals to his game and we'd be onto a winner.
 
So so good. Best performance so far. Him and Dorgu on the left is a great combination.
 
Berbatov without the goals.

If the striker and other 10 can do the scoring he will be great as the other ten to bring the ball up the field.
I’ve said it before if he can get 10 goals a season say and up his intensity a little bit he could be similar to Firmino in being the provider and unselfish player a team needs.
 
Lots to love about his play. We need more players with technique like this. He isn’t fast but he is capable of very nice play. Still not sure where his best position is.
 
Did they at any point show a replay of whatever the hell that absolute wonderspin orgasm manoeuvre was on the touchline?
 
Excellent today! Maybe one day he'll get some goalscorer instinct though and then he'd truly be a top player. But he does provide a hell of a lot and is getting better and better. My start of season guess of him being a lesser version of Berba I think is accurate, just less of a scorer than I hoped
 
If the team is settled he's settled. And he's clearly a very good player, but he also needs energy and runners around him to lift his game too. He feeds off the energy of his team mates but he's not someone to lift the team.

He was really good again and is showing good consistency. With a more complete squad he'd be even better.
 
Baller. Starting to develop an understanding of his team now.

Koeman can shove it.
 
More of that please Zirk. The wide open spaces in the second half really suit him, and he grew in confidence as time went on. Looked promising.
 
Always thought there was a player in there. Hopefully can keep it up as he looks unplayable in little moments. His finishing is pretty shite though :lol:
 
That thing he did late on in the left would have been in a top 5 Berba skills for United. And that's some doing
 
Obviously he's talented. If he can knit it all together he could become the next Dimitar Berbatov.
 
Much better. 3 key passes with 80% pass accuracy and dispossessed 1 time, with 2 unsafe touches. Far more reliable. He also had 2 shots on target. Good game
 
If he had more pace and was capable of putting the ball in the net he would be unbelievable.
 
He was not only brilliant with the ball, left his heart on the pitch. Around 80 minute mark he was grasping for air, never seen him so aggressive. Well done.

Credit to Amorim as well, there is a clear progress and much better understanding of his role.
 
Think Amorim mentioned something about him getting fitter and more used to the intensity. If we could get him ripped in preseason and he works on being more clinical what a player we could have
