Hojlund will come good
As you said; he will come good. And that is it. I don't see Hojlund becoming game changing striker who is scoring goals week after week (i hope that i am wrong). Good is ok for a team whos goal is EL spot. Or being backup striker for biggest teams.
Look, i know that i have a "problem" with high standards regarding United players (for which i got this tag from Moses :) ) but nevertheless, striker position is position where you go for the best that you can buy. I

Having said that i am aware that we will stick with Hojlund and buy some cheap backup striker. Osimhen train left when we spent 70 mil on Hojlund.
 
Aren't they very different profile players? Wouldn't be like for like presumably? I know very little about Osimhen, just from what I've read.

Yeah, Osimhen is a very typical centre forward. However, Ramos doesn't look like he's setting the world alight for them at all, so they might just have Osimhen up top with two of Asensio/Dembele/Barcola/Lee out wide and Kolo Muani as backup.

Ah ok, makes sense, thanks!
 
Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs should be battling it out for him.

Toney to be the consolation price for one of them.
I doubt it. Replacement for Partey and a right winger to rotate/compete with Saka are higher priority than a striker.
 
I could see him going to Chelsea tbf with Lukaku as part of the deal.

80m euros is £68m and Lukaku is valued at what, around £35m? Osimhen appears to have a bit of a down year after his monstrous season last season but a package worth around £100m feels like the best deal we can get out of Napoli.
 
Napoli would literally accept a lower fee to exclude Lukaku from any deal

Im not saying Lukaku is as good as him, but he’s got more goals this year than Osimhen.

Id love Osimhen here but we’ve other priorities to fix before splashing most our budget on a striker.
 
Romano teasing this morning again that he is leaving this summer for sure & it's not gonna be Chelsea. Would be a dream signing for sure. Someone who could light up the Premier League with ease.

Arsenal were linked a bit ago, seemed either him or Sesko.

Injury prone and with a big reputation but coming off the back of a poor season - sounds exactly like someone United would be interested in. Wait, he's massively expensive and will want obscene wages too - this is the archetypal United signing! Done dealio, I reckon.

PSG as a replacement for Mbappe?
 
Can't see us spending that much on one player let alone a player in the same position as Hojlund
 
Well, he’s not a player who makes many of his own chances and one of our issues is creating enough chances..
He makes many runs in behind the opponent’s centerbacks, he knows how to attacks crosses and get good headers. We have the quality to create those chances for him if we want to…

If the quality is there to create chances, then why is Hojlund being defended with the excuse that he doesn't get enough service? And if there indeed isn't enough service, why would it be different for Osimhen?

Happy if we do but I’ll believe it when i see it. Otherwise we have a 100m player that we have no clue about

we don't cross the ball very often b/c of our winger situation so that won't be of any help
