Well may as well just focus on Europa League then
I dont understand why we cant give Chido-Obi a serious try in game. Those wonder kid talents only become wonder kid talents because they are given the chance.
Look at what Barcelona are doing with youth.

Just seen that Diego Costa is without a club
Barcelona kill all their youth players by their mid 20's or before (See Fati), the mens game is so different to u21 football, take away the extra physicality of it and just consider the size of the crowd, the amount of talk around him. Not many kids his age have the mental strength and fortitude to even carry on playing their game when any mistake or bad game could then permanently ruin his trajectory because of the knock in confidence.
They would have improved by now, Hojlund genuinely looks like a flat track European competitions player, Zirkzee well say no more
If we're considering selling both Hojlund and Zirkzee in the summer (no viable rumours about that though) I would say that David could be a very good low fee option, as one of two striker signings.Jonathan David. Cheap, better than what we have, still young, can play across the front 3.
Good enough to be our striker if we want to challenge for the title ()? No. But good enough to improve us right now and is better than Zirkzee at…everything.
Not loan. 15m. Get it done
As you say he's a versatile player across the front three and probably a better striker than both our currents options. Has scored double digits the last seven seasons across all competitions (even after excluding all his penalty-goals).
Prefered him over Zirkzee last summer, would've likely cost around the same.
Krzysztof Piatek from Basaksehir? Currently top scorer in Turkey (by a fine margin, well ahead of Osimhen, Icardi, Immobile at better clubs), turning 30 this year so in his prime, a bit limited player but known for his great finishing and work rate. I'd never think I'd consider him a candidate for United, but I'd definitely take him for a half a season loan.
Yeah there was definitely options, unfortunately Utd are seemingly blind to them. We should have proposed loan offers much earlier in this window.
Yeah we won’t be winning the Europa league.
Not how we do business my dear
Nope that has been the case for last 12 years
I wasnt being serious.
I remember Neville saying years ago that you can always tell the badly run clubs by who is always scrabbling for players on deadline day.
Seems we’ve been perpetually involved in the deadline day drama for years of late. Says it all really!
PS If not Tel then I don’t think we’ll sign anyone.

Should have been looking at loan deals for strikers from the very start of window, not last few days
Arkadiusz Milik? Very slim pickings here but would at least give United another option. 3rd choice at Juve so I would imagine he's very gettable.
I think we’re probably best just holding off until the summer. We have two strikers (which we spent over £100m on) competing for one spot.
Set Hojlund and Zirkzee an ultimatum. Tell them they’re playing for their United futures for the rest of the season. At least one will be shipped out in the summer - make them fight it out to stay.

Seems like they're fighting it out to be the first one sold.
It's the final day of the season, they're both tied having scored 2 league goals each. The ball falls to Hojlund's feet on the edge of the 6 yard box. The goal is empty and the keeper too far away to have any hope of getting back. "Whoever scores the most goals this season gets to stay" Ruben had told him, it flashes threw his head in an instant. The choice is clear. He takes a deep breath, puffs out his cheeks, and skies the ball into row Z. Zirkzee holds his head in his hands as Hojlund fails to contain his smile.
Is there not even a Giroud level loan signing available ?
Feels like if we can even find an experienced striker or frontman whose past it, we could push the Europa cup and potential CL spot.

So it seems we are let with tu CFs until the end of the season. One of them is clearly not ready for seanior football and the other is Joshua Fecking Zirkzee. One injury ane we see one of them week in, week out. The state of this club, unbelievable...
Has anyone called Marko Arnautović?
Its not that they are not trying, they are just not very good.
Neither can lead the line for a PL team.
Metata showed us yesterday what a Premier League striker looks like and Holjund and Zirkzee are no where near his level, even on their best days.
You know it’s bad when it’s deadline day and people are just throwing out random names of players who might be able to play football.
How is Martial doing in Greece?
Brian Brobbey.
Or I heard Leon Bailey can play as ST.

Mame Biram Diouf
Were actually so fecked. Amorim gonna be sacked before the summer because we have no goals in this team
Injured
None we will wait for the summer
Not Sure why we’re not interested in Felix when he’s available on loan
Honestly dont know how we came to the point that we disciss about sam mediocre signings
We need numbers in more than anything unless we're willing to promote some of the youth. We've got 6 fit options, 5 if we consider Bruno seems to be a CM option now. An injury or two and we're going to be in major trouble.
Can't score, have loaned out multiple attackers, and we bring in two defenders. State of this club, honestly.
Is weghorst available
Beyond laughable isn't it
Martial, Rashford, Sancho, Anthony all sent out.
Zirkzee in to complement the miss firing Hojlund. Miss management at its finest.

Season is over. But then it already was wasn't it? Just bed in the new signings and try not to get relegated.
LWB was our biggest hole in the team beyond event attackers. With the injury to Lisandro Heaven’s transfer also looks astute as we needed a left footed cover at LCB.
The two attackers loaned out are Antony our worst signing in history and Rashford who has been poor for two seasons and has fallen out with the manager.
Those two decisions were fine.
Not bringing in a forward is the issue to focus on, not the above.
We don't need bodies for the sake of it, we need someone who can actually score goals. That isn't Felix.
