Will completely change our game going forward having an actual number 9 who can keep CBs busy.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are joined by special guest Anders (@Lyng) to celebrate the news that ETH is staying put! They also talk about the Euros so far, with special attention on England, Scotland and Denmark. They then finish with some transfer talk and the potential comings and outgoings at Old Trafford.
Amazing the difference by somebody just doing just he basics of the No.9 position.
I love him already.
He brought the confidence.
Looked a bit headless, but should be fine when settled in.
Looked more dangerous with him on the pitch.
Made a shitty run when him, Rashford and Antony ran 3v3.
But he looked good, looks willing to press and fight for second balls, which can't be said for Martial. Can't judge his finishing yet, but he'll make chances for us by winning balls up high, so there's progress already there.

Will be months until the rest of the dimwits realise that he's a striker that needs low crosses into the box.
Looked good. No excuse to not start him over Martial today IMO.
His ability to run in channels, press and hold up the ball will do us wonders. We will need another striker next summer or even winter and after selling Martial. Would be too risky to rely on such a young player as Hojlund..
It's almost funny that the simple act of him backing into defenders gave us a couple of chances to get at their defence.
Immediate difference, though obviously starstruck a bit, but that will pass.
Looking forward to seeing more.

He’s a unit, physically battered Gabriel. Can’t wait to see more of him.
There clearly was but I won't explain it to you. See if you can figure it out.
Lovely. Very happy with his first outing in what was a very hard game for a United striker. But his aggression, pace, strength and link up were all promising. Long way to go but a good first impression.
His physicality contrasted ever so slightly with Martial's.
Showed some good signs today.
Looks a player
Love him already. He's gonna make a huge difference. Please stay fit.
Worst case scenario, he’s a Darwin/Jackson type of no.9 that seems very vogue — extremely fast, strong and gives the CBs a proper match, but volatile and unpredictable
A centre forward who occupies the space a centre forward is supposed to. Wonderful.
Took him about 8 seconds to do more than Martial. Looks like he’ll be a threat.
As I said, waste of time starting Marital. On the manager.
It'd be good if he can play 45-60 minutes twice for Denmark during this break. He should be able to start for us after that.
The other centre forward was injured too? We’ve clearly put our faith in him, we’re not going to buy another striker to cover the first 3 games.
Unfortunate how things have fallen, but not much else to be done there.
Impressive start. It is harsh that he is on the end of the smash and grab but you can already see he gives us a different dimension.
Even if he doesn't score he will make our overall play better, great debut.
Excited for the kid. Looked good today
You'd say the same if RH started and stretched his hammy because of the lack of game practice during the last months.
Good debut. Tall, strong and fast, but he seems to lose his balance easily.
Decent cameo.
Good response.
start him after internationals.
Pity we did not start him , always more difficult to come into a game like that.
But he looked up for it and done more than Martial did in less than half the time , at least with this lad defenders will know they are in a game.

Finally we have a striker who occupies and tries to bully defenders physically. Hope he kicks on and we never look back.
Looks good physically. Just having an able runner upfront changed the dynamics of the game in our favour.
Nope.
He could've scored on his debut.
When Rashford broke on the left, Højlund just needed to make a near post run and shoot with his left foot. He seemed to pull up and move centrally.
It might have been his first touch also.

We can rotate Marital who seems like we played 10 man on this match and last match..
Finally we have a big target no.9 who can use his body and hold up play.
