Think there's a very strong argument that we could look to offload every single single senior forward player we own this summer.
In reality that's very unlikely to happen I realise but I don't think I'd be that bothered about losing any of them.
Rashford - Biggest talent we have but doesn't want to be here
Sancho - Sooner he's gone permanently the better
Antony - Never going to happen for him here
Garnacho - Not convinced his decision making is ever going to be good enough
Hojlund - 13 PL goals in 2 seasons. He isn't good enough.
Zirkzee - 3 PL goals and 1 assist. Again nowhere near good enough.
Again I will repeat it's very unlikely that we sell all 6 of them this summer with just how football finances and transfer windows work..... however nobody is going to lose any sleep if they are.
On balance of play in both league games against Forest this season we should have taken 6 PTS easily but our finishing (and our GK in the first meeting) cost us dearly.
Brand new forward line in summer?

I really hope we don't sign Liam Delap. It's the last thing this squad needs. We need somebody who is ready made not another project striker.

Would you take a swap involving Nacho for Osimhen?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah i think I'd probably swap any of them for him to be honest as long as the deal makes sense financially.
A bit annoying that next season is a AFCON year though I can't lie.
Not ideal if we lose Onana (assuming he's still our number 1), Mazraoui, Amad and potentially Osimhen all at the same time.
Gyokeres, Sesko etc are probably going to have better options than United sadly.

He may be 20 but how many games does it take to learn not to cut inside and blaze it over the bar 9 times out of 10.
***********************************
We need to sell him now, or we will die in hope of him figuring it out.

I think we'll keep Hojlund even if it's just not to lose out on PSR. I also think there could be a player in there as well as he does seem quick and strong enough for the PL.
I do like watching Zirkzee but he's not an obvious fit for this team I don't think. I wonder, if his stock in Italy is still high, we could use him in a swap for Osimhen?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think we should let him go back to Italy if we can.
Not only does he not score goals or create them but he looks too slow for this league. Some nice touches here and there is nowhere near enough.
Of the 3 who played up top last night over the 90 mins......Garnancho is the one I'd least like to sell but even with him I don't feel like we are selling a world beater. He's got some nice things to admire about his game but he's also lacking badly in others. I think £50-55m would be a good deal for us and I'd take it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nacho is incredibly wasteful and another reason why we create so few chances for the no.9.
He has had 68 shots in the PL this season and scored just 4 goals. And he had 100 shots last season and scored just 7.
He is a talented kid, but that is absolutely terrible and really highlights how poor his decision making is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It isn't just his decisionmaking; it's his ball-striking too. Evidenced not only by his shooting, but by his crossing as well.
It's really poor.

We've gone from Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Berbatov, Nani & Giggs, to that 🤷♂️

United are a midtable side at best. Always have been. Just got lucky to have had one of the greatest managers of all time for a couple of decades so now have a sense of entitlement. You're back where you belong.

Funny thing is, some Liverpool fans genuinely believe this.

He did but you know he’s only weeks away from a long term muscle injury.

Id be gutted if Garnacho was sold. Hes just 20 but the club/manager depends on him playing him in positions that often dont suit him to accomodate a daft system... and now Rash Antony Armadillo etc are not available playing in a front 3 with others who cant hit a barn door.... He shouldnt have been starting as many games
as he has or does. Hed be better off elsewhere.
