Moaners are having a mare already: we overpaid again, he only scored nine goals, should have gotten Kane, why not get Toney or Mitrovic.
Just defend him on here and counter them with humor and logic.

The club got a decent fee back for Di Maria as well as Lukaku.
0:55 Im guessing this is the match that made him call Smalling his toughest opponent with the way he looked at him
.Be patient with our hopes but expecting 20 goals?!
That would be one of the greatest youngster seasons the league has ever seen.
Being patient would mean accepting that he's not ready to be a full time starter for a top 5 club just yet and give him a season as backup without any goal expectations.
Aly Cissokho's move to Milan was cancelled due to some teeth issues. Although he himself said later that "Milan said there was some kind of problem with my body, which was linked to my teeth! But it was just an excuse because I completed my medical in two hours, with no problems. I even signed Milan's contract and all that remained was for Milan's president to send the money to Porto's president."
I not saying either policy/club is right, I was just saying why Chelsea tend to get better fees than us. They get rid before a player looks really bad like Maguire/Donny and massively lowers their value. We're too slow, Chelsea are too quick to judge. City have probably been more balanced than both but I don't like their policy of selling their kids and not bringing enough of them through.
It would not surprise me at all.
That's true, forgot about him, but again, that's another player who forced the move.
I would also note Mkhytarian (bought for €42m, sold for €34m), Blind (bought for €17.5m sold for €16m) and Dan James obviously (bought for €17.8m, sold for €29m) as examples of players whose value held up relatively well over a few years.
But regardless of how much we got for any individual player, it's more than we would have got for them at an older age point with all else being equal. Which is what matters relative to @Hoof The Ball's initial point about Hojlund's future value holding up better due to his relative age.
Tbh I was like wtf reading that part
What’s his combination play like? Can he keep a chain going or is it more likely to die at his feet?
Has he shown intuitive traits with off the ball contributions to the build up I.e. cross-threading CB’s with decoy runs or intentionally serving as the distraction for others to make the decisive action?
Of the players we have here, who is he most likely to hit it off with in terms of style of play and preferences? I.e. Martial loves playing with Rashford; Haaland love playing with De Bruyne (duh!) and so on and so forth.
Does he have the game smarts to be a thorn in the opposition’s side with his movement?
Watched the vids, but they are very short snippets of the final action of plays rather than an unfolding of the whole build up; hoping this kid is fluid and eclectic in his play and able to usher in another era of multi-positional attacking. It would also be great if he’s a natural fit with Rashford’s game as very few have been and it’ll be a lot of growing pains if they’re getting in each other’s way rather than having that kind of intrinsic bond that is the foundation of the best attacks.

When Højlund was at FC Copenhagen, he always could find the right position to score, but he missed every chance. He actually did not score a single goal in the domestic league. But in the Confrence League he scored 5 goals in 10 games. That's why it was a little confusing to follow him the first time. You could see that there was a talent. But he seemed to be a poor finisher. But that changed almost the moment he switched clubs to Sturm Graz.
It was a bit of a strange situation and I don't know if he just had to get used to being a senior player and FC Copenhagen lost patience too quickly. At the same time, there was good competition for the striker places in FC Copenhagen. So if Højlund did not succeed immediately, he could not count on playing. Especially not as a young talent who had yet to prove anything at senior level.
His development over the past year has been explosive and I hope it hasn't gone too fast for him. Because it is clear that there is great potential.
In general can we be gentle? Young player, full of hopes and dreams. He will have good and not so good moments for sure. Welcome, lad.
Where is he right now, and what is he wearing?
I wonder what’s dragging on. Press/commercial stuff for the announcement?
NYSE has opened, so…
Are there already any fancy chants for him?
Chelsea have lost a shed load of players on a free due to not selling them when they could/should have.
Did you not follow the Onana transfer? He'll be having his testimonial before our PR team announce we've signed him.
Indeed. Maybe Utd could hire a nanny to cuddle him tenderly and tuck him up in bed each night with an episode of In The Night Garden to help him relax.
Yeah. But that doesn’t explain why it’s taking so long. We used to announce signings almost immediately.
You’re not familiar with Bakayoko and Batshuyai?
When compared to Haaland you guys at least contracted the pretty one.
I think they decide to do just one announcement when everything is done and completed.
Are we there yet?
Great post. He will need time to put the tools together.
Exactly. We've done plenty of those "agreement reached with the selling club, more information in due course" thingies in the past, the current style makes much more sense.
Wout was gorgeous too… in a weird way, we’re winning.
Goes to show, god is fair.
He’s in the dressing room wearing nothing but a smile.
Hojlunds got a bit of pizza face but I‘m sure the club can find a facewash sponsorship to clear that up
I can imagine United HQ preparing posters, tweets, club statement on official website as well as an email to be sent to journalists. They are ready.
Just need NYSE to open......
Yeah that sounds right.

Theyre now waiting till manutd stocks reaches support area so they can buy before sending the news out in order to pump the price.
Still think he looks like Will Poulter.
Had to google him but I can think of worse looking people to be compared to.
That's what I was thinkingWho are Atlanta playing in these friendlies? Farmers?
I mean what's the point, 37-0 in 4 games.I hope his finishing is more clinical than his skin care routine.
