WhowWhen you have arguably the most creative player in world football playing behind you

WhowWhen you have arguably the most creative player in world football playing behind you
First paragraph, truth. Both our strikers are terrible.The striker plays a huge part in chances getting created. Both in creating chances for themselves, and in getting into the right positions at the right time to get on the end of passes/crosses. Zirkzee is poor at it and Hojlund last season was even worse. The rest of our attack (bar Amad) was malfunctioning, but the striker was the single biggest reason.
When you have arguably the most creative player in world football playing behind you, questions have to be asked when the striker never gets on the end of it. Especially when it's (in Hojlund's case) basically the one thing that he is supposed to be bringing to the table. Zirkzee at least does provide some other aspects and can play his part in creating chances for others, although hopefully he'll improve his actual goal threat this coming season.
Bruno has a lot of faults. But when it comes to creating chances he clearly is one of the best around, as seen by him consistently ranking as one of the top chance creators in Europe, if not the top, almost every season. It's the one thing about him that surely can't be too debatable.First paragraph, truth. Both our strikers are terrible.
Second paragraph, extremely level of overrating. Big fish in a small pond, our Stevie G.
Not really. You're exaggerating his ability.Bruno has a lot of faults. But when it comes to creating chances he clearly is one of the best around, as seen by him consistently ranking as one of the top chance creators in Europe, if not the top, almost every season. It's the one thing about him that surely can't be too debatable.
no idea how you can even think up such a comparisonAnd work ethic (despite people continuing this narrative) was not lingards problem either.
I think some people didn’t truly watch Lingard on the pitchno idea how you can even think up such a comparison
AC Milan are surveying Rasmus Hojlund and have requested information from Man United to assess the feasibility of the operation
Not exactly his style tbf.DiMarzio uses us for views, likes and retweets.
I actually think he would do well in Italy and it becomes used as a source of ridicule for opposition fans similar to McTominay.
"Oh look another player United was ruining..." etc.
The thing is with Hojlund, if you look at the goals he's scored a lot of them have been absolute belters. Great instinctive finishes. There is a player in there but it's just not PL quality, certainly not United quality. I think playing in a less physical league he puts in 15-20 goals all comps.
7.5m + 5m spread over 5 yearsGreat that there is interest for Rasmus but you know their first offer are not going to sweep us off our feet.
Are they really skint? Or just PSR skint? They're backed by Redbird Capital in the US aren't they?They’re skint aren’t they? What sort of offer could they realistically make?
He's the "father" of Fabrizio Romano, used to be super reliable.Not exactly his style tbf.
Italian teams would be the likeliest ones interested in this guy though given his start at Atalanta.
Nope. First year loan with us paying 50% of his salary with option to buy at 5.5m.7.5m + 5m spread over 5 years
Yeah or they give us a very measly offerMilan may very well be interested; however, I fully expect Hojlund to dig his heels in and stay.
Wouldn't trust this guy to turn up at the right airport when we eventually move him on.
He would spend the entire flight wrestling the passengers

I would hope Amorim politely tells him he's going to be replaced and it'd be better for his career if he leavesMilan may very well be interested; however, I fully expect Hojlund to dig his heels in and stay.
He’d engage an eight year old girl in a physical tussle, immediately lose then appeal for a free kick. ‘Twas ever thus.He would spend the entire flight wrestling the passengers
