Nah, if it comes to that, we’ll go for Muani or Kudus. None of us knows how highly those options rank against Hojlund in ETH’s plan, but those are solid options.
Those other targets aren't even strikers
If we don't sign a striker we are just asking for trouble next season.
NO striker is not an acceptable outcome and neither is a stop gap or loan striker. We've been down that road time and time again already

Not sure I actually believe it tbh, it's like us saying we'd go for Caicedo when Chelsea wouldn't drop their valuation of Mount and it turned out it was just bs. Kolo Muani will be more expensive than Hojlund for starters
Please, tell us who that RW is. Are you aware of the lack of top class right wingers these days?
I can't think of a single one that would be available
Oh I have no doubt these are all true, that’s why we’re lazer-focusing on Hojlund. I’m just saying IF that falls apart for whatever reason, those seem to be the alternatives.
I have no idea if we briefed that we don’t want Kane
but if we did do that, I can’t think of a single reason to do it unless we do want him
86mill is being briefed again, just don't get it
£60m would be too much.
Why so slow? Do we need to sell before we can buy? Is the asking price too high? The season starts in a few weeks and Martial is not in full training. But let us play Rashford or Sancho up front, or is the plan to use Höjlund as a bench option and hence the lack of urgency?
£50m plus add ons isn't too bad.
So until this gets sorted we will have to continue with Sancho playing the false 9 role
Again apparently Atalanta want 86mill but I just find it hard to believe that we think we'll get them down by 26mill and not just walk away
Yeah that sounds fair in my opinion
Spoiler; we'll sign him for comfortably less than 86m.
Every Manchester United based journalist has reported this exact thing at the same time tonight, that's without a doubt a brief
Just a mental post. We’ve spent 75m on Sancho and 80m on Antony for that position in the last two years. We aren’t buying another 60m RW without shifting one of those. It’s also true that a CF is by far and away a much bigger priority by orders of magnitude.
Yeah we keep hearing that fee from UK sources and like you say that's some figure to get down
To be fair I didn't know that, I'd only see the tweet you posted. Still think its shite and he won't cost that much.
They don't want 86m according to Italian sources, someone is lying
I reckon Atalanta are pretty confident that PSG will swoop for this kid when Mbappe leaves and that's why they're not budging. I think we'll miss out and I'm not too bothered, just move Rashford into the middle and sign Muani to play on the left in that case.
Again, all the English journos reporting €100m fee, whereas the Italians have Atalanta's demand much lower than that. Very odd.
Problem with Kolo-Muani is that not really a 9
Yeah never seen such a gap in valuation reported
That's why I said we should just play Rashford through the middle.
Well that's mental, why would we move our best player out of position and then sign someone else to play them out of theirs?
If PSG sell M'bappe then they'll probably aim for bigger fish than Højlund. I very much doubt he's going to move to Saudi Arabia right now anyway. Even if he does, that feels like a transfer saga that could really drag on.
Not sure what United would have to gain by making up a high fee
Either that or we’ll just add £20m and get Mbappe.
They can demand all they want, they ain't getting close to 86 million.
Be similar to the Mount fee at a guess.

“We’ve signed this kid for a pantry £60M, look at us we’re awesome at negotiating “
£86m makes no sense when you could likely get Kane for another £20m. £60m and there’s a bit more thinking to do in terms of age, potential and price tag compared to Kane.
United making up stuff or Italian media... which one seems more likely...
nothing obviously, journalists are making it up
the briefing era under Woody had ended.. the new lads rarely do it
won’t stop journalists using this perception to try and add legitimacy to their horseshit though
Kane is only for sale to English clubs for stupid money, spurs have made this clear.
Well this lad is only for sale for stupid money, same as Mbappe, so in the stupid money stakes, he’s comfortably 3rd.
The only thing that’s likely when dealing with Danny Levy is that it’s likely to be a horrible time.
At that price, I'd rather spend half a season with Rashford as the only CF and then buy Ivan Toney in January.
