Thee most Irish argument you'll hear this week. Someone giving off to the grave digger he doesn't dig deep enough and his reply 'sure did she get out' 😂😂😂

Torrid?

Rasmus Hojlund came in as a 20-year-old striker from Italy and so far he has 16 G+A (14G and 2A) in 37 appearances for Man United (all comps). If everything goes well he should get 20 goal contributions in the next 4 weeks which is definitely a great output from a young striker in his first season.

To give you an idea, let's look at the numbers of a few greats as 20-year-olds (all comps):

1. Alan Shearer: 11 Goals, 2 Assists, 1990-91
2. Thierry Henry: 11 Goals, 1 Assist, 1997-98
3. Didier Drogba: 0 Goals, 0 Assists at 2nd Division club Le Man's FC, 1997-98
4. Dennis Bergkamp: 9 Goals, 1 Assist, 1989-90
5. Harry Kane: 4 Goals, 2 Assists, 2013-14

Rasmus has more contributions than all of them. And this is him coming to a new League and leading the line for a team undergoing structural changes. He was also out injured for 2 months during that period. Now only time will tell if he becomes as good as them but his start cannot be faulted.

Yes, there is a discussion to be had on the service (or the lack thereof) he gets. Our players should be finding him more and this is one of those things which will improve going forward. But to call his first season 'torrid' is disingenuous and not something you'd expect from @TheAthleticFC

This whole narrative of "£28m more would have got you Kane" really frustrates me.

For starters are we now including his add-ons to the overall fee because he's an #MUFC player? It so far is £64m, not £72m, so that makes the original statement incorrect. Also, that £100m is a completely hypothetical figure made up in the past, he may go for that or less than that to Bayern, but the price for us and Bayern wouldn't be the same. Tottenham don't have to worry about Bayern as they won't have to face them.

Now then when it comes to overall cost, it shows again why that first statement is misleading. Let's pretend we could get Harry Kane for £100m, add on his reported wage demands of £575k a week and for a 4 year contract that is all of a sudden a £220m overall cost, for a player that by the end of their contract will have a tiny potential sell-on value.

Compare that to the £64m transfer fee of Rasmus Hojlund and the £80k a week that Rasmus Hojlund has reportedly agreed to and that gives you an overall cost of £85m over the 5 year deal.

So that means the overall package difference in price is actually closer to £135m not £28m as people have said. After his contract has run out also Rasmus Hojlund will be 25 or 26 if the extra year is triggered, this will be a player approaching their prime with their highest resell value. Meaning not only does the deal make more financial sense short term, but long term also.

Yes Harry Kane is a better, more complete player right now, but I'm fed up with stop gaps and someone like Hojlund is who we've been crying out for for years. This will also allow us to continue to explore the market.

To put it into further perspective, with fee and wage, Onana will cost around £69m over 5 years, add that to Hojlund's £85m and you still £66m to buy Amrabat from what could have got you just Harry Kane.

I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters.

I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years. We’ve achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. I took incredible pride everytime I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestows upon a few lucky footballers.

It’s been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. I didn’t think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together.

Now, it’s the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings.

Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester has shaped me and will never leave me.

We’ve seen it all. 🤘🏼❤️
