A 1-2 striker would have had us challenging

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss United's last 3 games - two much-needed wins vs. Burnley in the Premier League and Palace in the League Cup, as well as a the 4-3 loss away at Bayern. They discuss the defence, new options in midfield with Hannibal and Amrabat now in contention and look forward to games vs. Palace (again!) and Galatasary.
Kane will be off the table soon
Yeah we need to negotiate figure around that but De Laurentiis is a nightmare to deal with
He will still be at Napoli next season, no one will be able to afford him, us included.
Isn't he one of the best pressers in terms of strikers? From what little i've seen of him he just doesn't stop chasing defenders with his workrate.
I don’t think he’s quite good enough. I keep deliberating about him, but I suspect he doesn’t quite translate. I don’t think he has good enough ball control and I don’t think he’s an outstanding finisher either, in fact I don’t see how you can be if you are technically limited.
RKM is my guy.
RKM is my guy.
Yeah we’ll have to almost fecking double that if we seriously wanted him.
More reliable journalists than McDonnell, who isn't reliable at all, have said Napoli are demanding £150million.
80? The Italian version of Levy will want closer to £150m
Yeah way off with the price here Disco
I could see us going after him once the blood money arrives
will cost a feck load more though
will cost a feck load more though
still i think we are in a good position to get oshimen. almost all striker positions are taken except for real madrid but i don't think he fits there. chelsea-nkunku city-haaland arsenal jesus Liverpool nunez a transfer to united is the most logical
Yeah easily £120m
I think he is a great player but just not a sure thing, especially in the PL and for 100+ mill.
The only player I would put money on to really produce from the start is Kane but that will most likely also be 100+ mill and for that he is too old (likely only 2-3 top seasons left).
Need to find the next big thing, but they will still be 60-70 mill. Strikers just dont come cheap.

Jassim will make this happen.
He needs to win the bid first
Napoli are getting Rudi Garcia, best they sell him now because they aren't gonna be as good next season anyway and Osimhen will have only 1 year on his contract. His value could drop significantly next summer.
Should be all over this IF true
Fear FFP would stop us going all in this window even if Jassim actually owns the club

It aint gonna happen
€150M is ridiculous. This guy had his first outstanding season. Haaland and Mbappe would cost then easily €300-400M since they do the same, if not better, on a regular basis.. .
Yeah so much for price reduced to €120m
There’s really no point in shopping the top names form any given season anymore. Everybody has gone cash crazy. You can see why more and more players are insisting on clauses when signing for these clubs
They cost more… Go to Abu Dhabi with 300 million for Haaland, they won’t even consider it...
Just shows how insanse and crazy the market has become. Anyway, I doubt someone is going to pay €150M for this guy.
Its simply supply and demand to be honest, there is a lack of options in the striker market so there is going to be a premium to pay.
I agree though, he won't cost 150m euros if he leaves this summer, but I think he will cost 100m euros at least
He will cost that this summer,maybe next year I could see him moving for €100m
Either clubs like Napoli start judging things realistically or be aware that they stand to lose their players for free in a year or 2. It’s not in the players interest to be priced out of the market
Enter Chelsea...
Napoli is a big club with a aim to do another great season in the Champions League - they should ask a much as they do for their star players.
It made sense for Koulibaly/Insigne/Mertens… They were willing to spend their prime years over there. A bit like Kane at Spurs….
It doesn’t make sense for Osimhen. He wants the EPL and his wife wants Germany. Both destinations (Bayern or a top EPL club) would increase his wages significantly… He is not going to extend his contract.
How's his first touch?
Well they have money to burn but we don't
I really don’t want us to sign Osimhen. Rarely watch him play and think he will be a great striker for us.
He will be the perfect striker for Bruno but that idea doesn’t appeal to me because I’d love to see us move away from this chancing it football.

He really cannot blame anyone but himself when no big clubs are in for him
In other words ‘offer us £100 million and we’ll talk, if not we’ll extend his contract’
As a Nigerian I'm not too keen on him leaving Napoli, he did one big season consolidating it with one or two more before leaving isn't a bad idea. Players are always looking to jump ship quite quickly. If he maintains this level or even gets better the big clubs will always be there.
