Antony looked like a player. Casemiro just won another CL in the best club in the world. They are all good players. But as soon as the Manu spirit flows through them, they get progressively worse. Hojlund has done nothing special ever in his career. I see comparisons to Haaland, but the player we should compare him to is Mudryk. He is working out better so far, but he will swiftly be brought down to the Man U level. Edited October 4, 2023 by Mic09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Lives in Dorridge near Solihull. So the reason why he changed his name is obvious. Wanting to be something he is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he's compared to Haaland and not Mudryk because he's that kind of forward, not a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he is compared to Haaland because he is from Scandinavia and because he has a similar name and because he is a striker. Haaland is on another planet. Where as a comparison to Mudryk would have been more on point - a player without much of a background in senior/European football gets a big transfer to England for a massive fee. 2 clubs with deep running issues (man u and chelsea) bet many millions on them working out.

Do you think Hojlund is the same type of a player as Haaland? The comparison to Haaland is a lazy journalist cliche. Sure they play the same position. But that's about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to see more of Hojlund but all I was saying originally was that his goals last night (including the disallowed one) were very easy on the eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to be something he is not. Does play up to that he might just be a character. Brent Di Cesare is a glory hunting sad act melt from Dorridge whereas his persona Goldbridge is some 'Man U in the blood' superfan red devil, so much so he's rather sit at home in his pyjamas watching a game rather than actually being there, despite living on Railway Rd or something.

The clubs toxic as ****. Wont be long until rash and bruno leave if they continue sliding down the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont be long until rash and bruno leave if they continue sliding down the table look at football finances in general, the value of clubs are increasing as long as the club increases in value at a rate higher than the interest rate they will get on the sales money being sat in their bank then why would they sell? would $5bn in their bank get more interest than the $120m they take out the club per year? would the current growth in football (even without the super league) mean that in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years the club would grow more than the $5bn sat in their bank? they are business men and man utd are an asset, I would guess that the answer to both those questions is that owning utd is still better than selling, i would also guess that man utds revenue is actually growing again despite their on the pitch troubles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, strong, fast, number 9, goalscorer, blonde, scandinavian. Lots of things in common between Haaland and Hojlund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
