You mean because Ole wasn't just going to gift him the starting ST role no matter what? He restored him to that position when he found form. Lukaku is on record saying he went to Ole because he just wanted to move.
We are Manchester United. The most famous club in the world.
Nah, no point discussing this with you. Just feck off.
You should probably support another club tbh.
Yeah, as if he’s going to pick an average team playing on a Thursday night over top teams fighting it out for the Champions League... and we won’t get into that competition for at least another 5-6 years. The club is in the pits at the moment, have you seen the state of the stadium up close? It’s an absolute disgrace for the “biggest club in the world”. They’ve added a lick of paint in the tunnel so it doesn’t look so bad on Tunnel Cam for YouTube, but that’s about it!
Delusional bunch.
We beat Spurs and City and you all think we’re the United of old all of a sudden.
Take them blinkers off. Wake up and smell the coffee!

No wonder we’re in this sad state
I think the cup tied rule is gone so he'd be able to play in the champions league for those clubs. Players can now represent two clubs in the champions league or Europa but only one player per club
Yeah I can't see them here!
Jeez, give it a rest.
Post something interesting instead of recycling the usual negative rubbish that has been seen here for years
Have been pretty optimistic this would happen in January as he’s been the main link over the past few months. Maybe we won’t get anyone in January.
Given the age of Haaland and Martial who is the guaranteed starter? One of those players isn’t going to be happy sitting on the bench.
I can’t see it happening to be honest. If anything we need an experienced striker.
I expect him to go Leipzig once Werner goes.

It's threadmarked. It's an article in the Guardian, by Romano & Christenson.
Ahh that's my fault - never knew The Guardian one was by Romano (& the other dude)
Come on Ole, get on the phone to Erling.
Knocked a few million quid off his pricetag in the last hour.
Thread title isn’t really representative of the current situation eh? I got a little excited at first.
eww, his agent is Raiola a bit tough to think of him long-term then.
Raiola classic to keep moving his players to fatten his own pockets

With all due respect my good man, this has no bearing on our transfer budget. The club handles its debt just fine. Our current EBITA leaves us room to spend around £150 million annually on transfers. The club also has a enormous cash reserve of over £300 million pounds.
We have absolutely 0 issues with handling the debt.
His father is on record literally a few weeks ago saying he would be happy to see his son play for Manchester United. This is simply not a factor.
Playing time is the only factor that dictates his next move.
Never seen this kid play, would people be happy for him to come in and potentially stunt the growth of Greenwood?
Either way we need strength in depth.

I don't understand, why would you knowingly lie in your post? What do you get from it?
Well Aubameyang deserves a mention
Just make a bid, I don't see Martial as No.9 so there is no harm. I think there are enough places to add another forward and everyone get a chance to pay including Greenwood.
Yeah him also but I'm not sure how young/old he was when joining Arsenal?
Exactly as good as he is he hasn't exactly gone on to have a career at a top club as of yet or win some really good trophies.
We only have 2 CFs : Martial and Greenwood (the latter still being eased into the first team by Ole) and can easily play 50 matches per season (74 max). If He's to come here his main competitor will be Martial. Let's say We play 60 matches and 10 of those are the games where Greenwood play 90 mins.
50 matches left. And then let's assume both him and Martial starts 50:50, that's still 25 matches at the very least for both of them. How is that not getting enough game time? not counting subs, the time where They play together, needing to rest, injuries.
We're short of CFs, that's why He needs to come here and that's why the transfer would makes sense. "Won't be getting enough of game time" isn't a valid argument. If We sign him We'll rely on him. He won't be a bench warmer. In fact, the impact He could have here is huge compared to another team, if He performs He'll elevate the team. Not all young football players have the chance to do that.

Having 4 top tier forwards was a common thing for us under Fergie too.
Not really.
Ole and sheringham was a very good subs but they know what they're getting.
Sheringham was quite aged when he joined us, ole was a red all the way. Plus we play with 2 strikers back then 4 total only means 1 cover for each. We played alot more games as well, and saf was the master none of them dare to stir up shits.
I cant see us having 3 players for 1 position ending up nicely.
Indeed. We had CFs We could rely on and enough backups for them.
Ole was a better CF than what We have right now and yet He was the third choice. That's the difference between a team competing for the league and a team competing for top 4. We don't exactly have 2 players though, more like one and a half seeing how Rashford plays better as a wide forward and Greenwood is not even a first teamer yet. So We'll have 2 and a half if Haaland joined, pretty normal for a team playing in 4 competitions if you ask me.
If any of them dare to stir up shits and They don't perform, let them leave. Call it the survival of the fittest, to ensure We get the best out of the bunch than to moan every time Martial gets injured. It's a different thing if Martial is having the best season of his life, We could settle signing a bench warmer only. But as it is sometimes He plays good, in the other He's non existent. More competition is needed.
Easier said than done. Martial ousted jose. I dont expect any sort of old school buckle down and take your chance with today's boys.
Remember when we signed sanchez? And dropped martial? Granted sanchez didnt help himself can you imagine that happens again and some martial ended up again in the bench. The disruption it causes to the dressing rooms etc.
I'm not saying it's bound to happen, but it's not guarenteed they'll play along nicely like ole to our cole

There's plenty of reasons for him to come to Utd, yes money is one. But what about guaranteed game time, something he wouldn't get elsewhere and the chance to link up with Ole again, don't underestimate the pull of a big team playing young players under a manager he already knows. I think you have a decent chance in this transfer, the only possible sticking point is the agent.
He's been here since the age of dinosaurs (LvG) and Ole isn't Jose, He can't force a club legend to leave unless if Ole loses 8 games in a row

He can force himself to move though.
I have a bad feeling about this halaand boy. For 60m we're gonna be taken to a cleaner.
Seriously. The state of some of our posters.
They were top tier to me dammit
Absolutely. Haaland is easily the kind of player we're missing, we have no natural poacher at the moment. The question is: do we want to bring in another talent, or should we rather bring in an experienced one to buy Martial/Rashford/James/Greenwood some time? Well, I know what I'd prefer. The four mentioned with Haaland would be such a ridiculously exciting attacking squad.
(Oh, and a disclaimer since this forum is full of morons not realizing that English football is actually huge in Norway, and pretending that some of us are jumping on a hype without having watched the kid: I, and a pretty huge bunch on the Caf, have followed him closely since early 2017 - at the very least.)
The club is in the pits at the moment, have you seen the state of the stadium up close? It’s an absolute disgrace for the “biggest club in the world”. They’ve added a lick of paint in the tunnel so it doesn’t look so bad on Tunnel Cam for YouTube, but that’s about it!
Delusional bunch.
Things are bad but to say United won't get into the Champions League for another 5-6 years?!? We're currently 5 points outside the top 4. We're not Brighton.
That's not so far out of reach, the past 6 years we're only in there for 2-3 times
