I hate them too.Coming up to 600m spend by Tent Peg. Bar Lisandro, all the rest have been unanimous flops. Utd fans are as delusional about Hojlund as they were about Martial.
Apparently, he doesn't score because he doesn't get enough chances, nothing to do with the fact he was never even prolific in Serie A or that he just looks bang bang average whenever he does find himself in front of goal.
Zirkzee just looks like another big fish in small pond type of player and De Ligt is not suddenly going to be worth the 70m they will pay for him a year after getting dropped for Eric Dier.
All music to my ears as they are one of the 3 clubs ( bar Madrid ) that I can't stand. Chelsea and PSG being the other 2.
And yeah, Hojlund just has nothing to his game at all. They're hanging on to him scoring some goals in the PL - but most came in bunches where everything he hit went in - that isn't sustainable. And the problem isn't even that - it's that his technique and all-round game is so poor that he isn't gonna be able to improve it to the required level.
But they do this with all their players. They constantly overhype them and 'look for positives' which do not exist. It's sheer delusion. On Redcafe I have been reading some of them describe Dalot as 'the best RB in the league or the world' (lol) after one acceptable season. He's still very mediocre and players like him, Rashford, Fernandes, Hojlund, de Ligt, Zirkzee, Shaw, Onana, Mount and so on are never gonna get them anywhere near Man City, especially coached by a guy I think makes it up as he goes along. And a new management structure that couldn't make Nice competitive in Ligue 1.
I mean, we might be wrong as I said earlier, and there is a touch of arrogance in our posts. But still - I don't see a thing changing for Man United. They're not suddenly going to rise again. Top 4 battles (at best) and the odd domestic cup will be their lot for the foreseeable. A lot of the clowns on Redcafe just cannot accept that and still talk about being 'in transition' (they are permanently in transition it appears) and 'future title challenges'.
United will never be a dominant force again unless Man City lose the PL case or they fall apart after Pep leaves. If Man City maintain their level I think they could well reach 21 titles before United too.
But like I say, I hate United with a passion. So it could be my bias coming into play a little.
