But it’s up to our leadership to let him play. Of course footballing-wise we may be better off just playing Greenwood than buying Hojlund - but it’s not looking as an option at all

On today's episode, of being a Manchester United fan...
You'll be disappointed I assure you. Especially if he lights up Serie A
I pray it’s a loan.
as Vince McMahon once said "No Chance in Hell"
MG going out on loan is very plausible, he needs to regain his fitness, preferably in a different country to shield him and us from scrutiny. imo he may deserve a second chance, it‘s up to the club.
Smart business move on our part and Greenwood to go off to Italy for a year or two on loan which makes the transfer for Hojlund less difficult for Atalanta
make the fee more reasonable plus they get a player who we all know is really damn good if he can regain any sort of the form he had before losing his mind

We shouldn’t pay a dime for Hojlund otherwise.
Most likely a loan deal
I actually think it might. Greenwood plus a decent fee for a guy who can come to United for free next summer? I would even give them Greenwood on a permanent if they’d sell us Kane this year.
Its a loan its looking more and more likely he is still in Clubs plan , its just that We want to first see what level he is currently at and whether he worth the hassle or not before bringing him back.
He doesn't need shielding. He brought it upon himself by being a despicable cnut. He deserves the abuse thrown at him, here or there.
It‘s not about that. If he is going to get back to his former level, he needs to be able to focus.
Otherwise, get rid of him now and be done with it.
Would be a good deal. Nothing credible on this right now though.
Why are people worried about MG performing well elsewhere? The guy is an utter cnut. Do some want him playing here still?
utter Cnuts do sadly
Yes, yes they do.
I'm not so sure it is, tbh.
It's like saying it's up to clubs whether they sign David Goodwillie. Legally it is. But every time one tries to they're forced into backtracking on the decision. That's the situation I feel United are likely to be in with Greenwood. I just think it's gone on so long, at such a high profile level, that there'd be too much of a reaction if we even tried to reintroduce him.
Realistically, I think the best we can hope for is that he has a good loan spell and we can at least get a good transfer fee for him and use it to replace him next summer. Really can't see him coming back here, but hopefully we can be financially recompensed for losing a top talent.
Sad times indeed then. Maybe they should put some money together and start their own club with him as captain.
Would much rather Greenwood stays. No point in trading goals for goals.
Look IF he shows next year on loan he's still capable then I am all for second chances. I know that is considered to be a controversial opinion
He won't be staying
Greenwood is still our best attacker, sad that we cannot play him right now.
The fact he's still in the game for me shows he's got his second chance.
He can go and make his living some place else in the game.

Hopefully it's a shop window loan to push his price up and sell him to the first bidder. I hope he never plays for us again
Not this summer at least. I'd be keeping him though. It's not as if we have just signed Kane. We need goals.
I have tried to watch as many clips of him as I can and he really doesn't do anything special at all. I am no football expert but can have an opinion.
Just because he is young doesn't mean we should be splashing 40-50m on him. I'm more worried about relying on him to lead our line next season.
Atalanta will be getting a good amount of money and a player further along in his development than Højlund for one season. It’s an absolute win for them, and yet it’s also a deal that we must do to address our striker issue while gauging public opinion on Greenwood playing football again.
I can see this happening very quickly, especially as both Højlund and Greenwood seem happy enough to switch clubs.

He has 2 more years on his contract. So for club it would be the best that he plays great there and we get a decent fee for him next year.
As a person he is a sick cnut. As a player he is an asset worth 50 mil (if he returns in his old form).
You didn't even bother to read what I wrote. The point was an elite striker being unaffordable and unavailable are two wildly different things, not who I think United should target. Has nothing to do with who I would rather have and what they would cost. That's a silly question to ask.
I could see that happening.
I think he's finished at United, but a year on loan gives us a chance to make a market for his permanent transfer.
Either way, it will be good to get rid of him for at least a year as it's just an unnecessary distraction otherwise.
Maybe he will be asked to sign a one year extension before loan
Yeah we could well have been
Yeah could definitely help to get a market
Re MG, derail thread abit but want to know the differences between MG events and compare it with like killing someone (not condone it).
Why many posters dont want to give him second chance, many even want to mke him leave the game cometely. Is it view as worse than murder in English culture for someone to b..t w.mam like he did. Not condone it, just curious of the culture.

Which is logical
All have dominated their starter leagues (or however you want to call it). Tchouameni was the best midfielder in Ligue 1 before he moved, Bellingham has been playing first team football in a very competitive league in probably the least forgiving position for a youngster since he was 16 and Rice is obviously a dominant midfielder in the PL. Mudryk is the only one of that list that might have needed more scouting and was way overpriced but even he had shown exceptional promise at CL level for Shakhtar. Hojlund looks very good but he is in his first season at a top five club and he isn't a starter at 20 and his goals/90 are good for a 20 year old. I don't think it's slander to say he's not in the same league as the biggest dead certs as the others. I think you would say that most of the other players were as close to no risk as you can get. Hard price to live up to but you could be confident that they would perform and with Hojlund you don't have that certainty as he's doing well but not shooting the lights out in an inferior league and that's why price point is important with this transfer. Development isn't linear but most of the world's elite strikers are high volume scorers from a young age (Kane an obvious exception).
