Just glad to see Hojlund do well recently, for both club and country. Always thought there was a player in him, though he was maybe not ready to be the main man at United. Hopefully he can kick on from here and fulfil his potential.

Would rather we’d kept him than Zirkzee, although until we start playing to our strikers’ strengths, it doesn’t really matter who we play up top.

I like to see any ex player doing well as long as we are not adversely affected.
Very few players get to play for united that are not good but not everybody can be good at united.
He failed to impress and deliver here and that's not because he can't play . He just didn't play that well in our team. There are any amount of reasons for that.
Mist players that leave do well elsewhere including the ex academy guys because if you're at united you are in the elite percentile most of the time. It should be no surprise that any player that leaves does well somewhere else. They are all very good players.

I want all the players who leave us to do well, it only helps us get better deals in the future. If every player who leaves us flops at their next club it's hardly going to create a line of clubs queuing up to buy the players we want to move on.

If you had the choice now, would you return Sesko to the shop and exchange him for Rasmus and use the money on a midfielder?
11 Oct 2025 12:24:32
No definitely not.
11 Oct 2025 13:54:51
I actually think Hojlund is a little further along in his development than Sesko, although Sesko has a much higher ceiling (I’m sure there’s a joke to be made there about his height) .
But after last season, I don’t think starting this season with Hojlund as our main striker was really an option. We should have sold Bruno and used the money for a midfielder, or continued to play Bruno as the left CAM and used the Cunha money to reinforce in the middle of the pitch.

Sesko is significantly further along than Hojlund. I don't think I've seen a single opinion of yours redseven that I agree with but this one is up there I have to say. Hojlund's issue has been his poor movement in buildup play. If you view passing maps of last year you'll see he was avoided last year. Sesko, by contrast, is already a focal point and gives a direct option we didn't have last year. Hojlund could be very good but he needs to develop in a league where he has more space. The move to Napoli is brilliant for him. Hopefully he pushes on. He's had a great start there, but you are definitely in the minority on this.

The feeling’s mutual, DonRed.
I may be in the minority, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong. I guess we’ll see come the end of the season.
11 Oct 2025 18:52:23
Redseven, at least I'm consistent. You just complained that money used on the striker should've been used on central midfield. Here is a post of yours

As much as I think Cunha would be an excellent fit for us and for Amorim's system, I still think a centre forward should be our top priority this summer. If rumors are to be believed and we're in a position to pay £63m (€74m) for Cunha and £30m (€35m) for Delap, I'd much rather see us put up the €100m needed to sign Gyokores.
Of course. Whether or not he'd actually want to sign for us is another matter entirely.

Do you really have nothing better to do than trawl through months of my old posts? How sad. And this really isn’t the gotcha you seem to think it is.
My post above says that Cuhna was an unnecessary signing if the plan was always to keep Bruno. The six-month old post you quoted also said that Cuhna was an unnecessary signing. I’m not sure what your point is supposed to be.

Just look through that thread. I didn't want to embarrass you further. It's typical of the type of thing you post. I've made my point clear. I remembered that exchange quite clearly as you were ardent in that about how awful you thought Hojlund was. And here you are talking him up (or talking down Sesko depending on the point of view) . I'm not sure if you are just young but you do come across as such.
12 Oct 2025 17:21:08
The only person that you’re embarrassing is yourself.
At no point have I ever said that we should have used the money that we spent on Sesko to sign a midfielder, nor have I ever described Hojlund as awful. I’ve never talked Sesko down either. Quite the opposite, in fact. I’ve repeatedly stated that I think he has the potential to be world class, and was calling for us to sign him back in 2023 when he was still at Salzburg.
At this point, it’s difficult to tell if you’re on a wind-up or if you just lack basic comprehension skills. Either way, I’m done.
