Just watching the highlights of our game midweek against Midtjylland and this kid stood out for them again.....

watching him he reminds me a bit of Sadio Mane with his pace and power - at 21 years old he looks well developed and can play wide left or right....looks good technically and cool on the ball (though Carrick was atrocious in his attempt to tackle)

obviously scored in both legs against us, has 24 goals in 69 games which is decent from wide even in the Danish League, Danish player of the year

according to reports he's being watched by teams of the class of Barca, Juve and Ajax had a 7m bid rejected (wiki)

he could maybe be a good backup option on the right and would cost a hell of a lot less than a Mane....

an option?
 
Been watching this guy for sometime nothing in his game tells me he couldnt make it for a big club.. I think he's ready to make the step up to a big club, and with today's prices he could be a bargain..

Is his technical game consistently as good as that? Also do you think he'd be able to handle the lesser space afforded in the PL? He looked like he plenty of extra time against us.
 
I think we should go all out for a Griezeman but for 15 million I'd say this kid would be a great backup option at the very least....

only 21 as well so who knows how he will develop

With Martial, Memphis, Januzaj, a top RW and maybe a versatile player like Sisto who can play left or right we would be well stocked in wide attacking positions - with Valencia and Young as decent utility players as well
 
What I liked about him is that, he doesn't run in neutral. He could be a very useful player and that goal reminded me of Scholes against Blackburn I think years ago. I would hope we are interested based on the energy levels and the confidence he showed. Even as a punt that could turn out well for us.

you hit the nail on the head there - at Old Trafford, in front of the Stretford end he showed total composure.....maybe build for the bigger stage

think Scholes beat two Blackburn defenders though ;)
 
Wasn't as impressed as I expected to. But perhaps that's because Midjtylland didn't had the ball enough for him to make more impact.
 
I know Ajax were very interested in him indeed, but after the rejection of a second bid IIRC (not sure how much Ajax offered), they went for Amin Younes of Borussie Mönchengladbach (they payed €1.5-2 mil for him). I remember several articles in the past few month saying Ajax are still interested in him (Sisto).
No idea whether he's good enough for Man United already though.
 
Bit of a headless chicken at times, and skills seem hit and miss- could improve but frankly we don't have the time to wait and see.

To be fair, we battered them at home. Hard to judge of him of the second leg. But when he did get the ball he looked good.

He's got the pace and the power to back up some really handy skills. He has been one of the more interesting players in Scandinavia for a while now. He is ready for a move to a big club and took his chance on the big stage aswell, seems like a down to earth guy aswell. We could spend our 10m a lot worse thats for sure.
