It’s asif big bro came in and said don’t be ripping off my young g. 
Eni Aluko will have something to say about this...obviously EtH has been on the phone to PSG to hurry this deal along *wink wink
PSG are more accurate in their valuation than United.
Welp
Does this strengthen our hand? Atalanta could have played us off vs PSG, but if they are categorically not going any higher, maybe our offer of 50+10 get's it done? We shouldn't go back with anything higher now, maybe at a push 50+15 but the worry of PSG blowing us out the water is now gone.
Because this is tactic from Qatar and they have already bought us behind the scenes. They are submitting a bid which they know won't be accepted and know that Man United offer is higher by 10m that's not small amount but PSG give public statement that their valuation for Hojlund is unrealistic and believe that 50m euros is fair, otherwise they will walk away. So Atalanta won't have a chance for a bidding war and will have to compromise on the fee and accept our offer.
In this situation they cannot demand a unrealistic fee for Hojlund and we are making smart business
This is just a dodgy Qatar business to help us !Agreed but we're in a more desperate spot unfortunately, Atalanta know we'll cough up more than anyone else in it comes down to it
Very strange.
Pfft come on man, get the muppet juices flowing, needs to be done by tomorrow at latest to sate us
I’m glad PSG have bid lower, shows Atalanta that our offer is more than fair and to accept it before we withdraw the bid and move onto other targets.
Was my initial thought too
Him agreeing personal terms with PSG makes sense, if ours somehow falls through he has PSG to fall back on
He made us feel like we were the only one for him, and then he goes and cheats on us
So much for he refused PSG cause he want to join us.
Don't know how fans have confidence given the people in charge of transfer / negotiations if Atlanta are being difficult move along to another alternative.
Pressure on now. No harm.

No it isn't, we didn't even bid for him. That was all rumour.
If they snag Hojlund who do we go for..?
Weghorst
Yet City allegedly do it all the time too, Sanchez, Rice, Maguire. Coincidence it’s the state owned clubs doing things that make zero sense?
The Ol' Unreliable
In all seriousness I’m not sure who else we could buy if we don’t land him, might force the club to get more money and try for Kane and forget about Amrabat
Kolo Muani is our back up option by all accounts
Obviously a brief !
If we can’t do this deal within 3 weeks then just liquidate the club, seriously.
We ought to be getting someone else in after.
Great news, the PSG offer. Pressure on Atalanta to accept our offer, which includes 10 millions of add-ons more than PSG's offer.
Yep, although my belief in that happening has massively dwindled. One new striker addition is simply not enough.
Hopeful of deal before the PL starts? I seriously didn't expect we'd be this slow in getting in a striker before the window opened. It's all a bit ridiculous considering how the whole of last season showed how badly we needed at least 2 strikers.

Stop screwing about.
No one asked for Mason Mount so we better still have cash to spare for a CF.

Money changes everything.
Sure their bid includes many undisclosed payments, but maybe that's me wearing my suspicions hat.
Why would PSG not match our bid? Strange one
Must be confident as that is a very clear club brief
