dont forget Mohammed Kudus, chelsea needs him

[@iwannadrinkfromyourwideeye2635]

This guy is rubbish, he only scored 8 goals last season in the Serie A, he couldn't even score against Northern Ireland last week. His game is to use his height and weight to win the ball and every now and then, he might score a goal. The game has gone crazy, for 10 million more they could have signed a briliant striker from Frankfurt. This guy is worth 10 to 15 million and no more, he's that bad and as for Mason Mount, he's worth 25 to 30 million at best. Onanah is a bang average keeper, he's nowhere near the level of David de Gea so I'm giving worse transfer window to Man Utd right now.

He’s clearly an ETH-type system player - high work-rate, physical, versatile, good pressing ability and hold up play etc. That’s the profile of striker ETH wants, not an all out one dimensional number 9.

If he's that much better at heading inside the box than outside of it, then it seems like a mental trick that can be worked through with coaching.

[@Launch_a_poo]

Glad you're feeling better! Another channel called "analysts comp" made a good compilation highlighting his hold up play and off the ball movement. Hojlund seems top class in those attributes, just needs to do the hard part and use that skillset to get a boatload of goals and assists.

[@stifftackle296]

The aerial weakness is unusual for someone of his size. The only reason I think it wont be a huge issue is because its not something United really have at the moment anyway. Onana’s real skill is being able to play through the lines with ground passes. Adding Mount in the middle whos very good on the half turn will mean we probably wont be going long to Hojlund very often. Great video.

[@barnabasoluwaseyitanarawom5158]

Lovely analysis. We will see how his strength matches up in the EPL, but he looks like the sort of player to cause enough chaos for CBs and FBs because of his channel runs. He might be overpriced but then again, the current market is bonkers.

[@ck1011]

Again. Spot on analysis!

[@louisbinns1144]

As far as United are concerned, this is a good upgrade and gives their overwhelmingly talented through-ball specialists a primary target, potentially allowing their attack to kick up another gear compared to last season, while also making their press more effective as they look to address some issues with breakdowns in the counter-press I'd hardly consider him their best possible target for 60m ish though. He's very young and will need a lot of time and patience to handle the extra pace of the game of the Premier League compared to Serie A; at least he needed that when making the step up for Atalanta initially. His aerial lack of prowess is the bigger issue though - United have very few aerial threats compared to virtually every other side in the elite bracket and needed to solve that issue with their purchase. Without that release valve of going long or tempting the press too high in their deep build up, they could get found out by top level sides again

[@dk7mkd74]

What we see are his weakness or area where he can develop could very well be attributed to how Atalanta plays and the type of players he is surrounded. What Utd need is a striker that can play against a low block and at the same time good enough in transition. Think Ten Hag can develop him into a star.

[@adamo0175]

Would love to see an analysis of Levi Colwill and how good you think he could become👌🏼

[@islamicreminders3090]

Fantastic analysis 👏

[@pepeboomin5476]

With the right managing this guy can become a great complete striker. He already has the great desire to play for us so that can help him with his development. If our wingers start to provide more I think that this guy can hit like 15+ goals in the competition only. His best chemistry will be with Sancho, Eriksen and Bruno I think.

[@Jaceyyyyyyy]

Maybe you're right about the weakness in the air but seeing how United played in preseason and how Onana was used I don't see ten tag playing a long ball to the forwards just him defending from the front as it seems he's perfect for pressing system

[@onyekachiadamesegbue5764]

Meeeen, great video as always. Especially the part where you pointed out the fact that he needs to be more clinical in front of goal because R9, Mbappe and Haaland have raised such a standard when it comes to conversation rates for under 25 strikers/scorers. And also his lack of aerial presence for one so well rounded physically. Please can you do one for Kang Lee? I still don't understand why PSG bought him when they got Asensio. Kudos from Nigeria.

[@lancerevo9747]

PSG is the new galactico RM. They will sign players they never use and leave frustrated.

[@Kaijufied]

Kang in Lee doesn’t play on the right, he was signed as a midfielder that can play on the left when Neymar is inevitably injured

[@bucky4747]

What a video. Well done

[@dir6043]

Great breakdown. the only thing I could argue is, when you have a striker like Haaland knocking 40-50 goals a season. It's largely due to the fact of a great midfield, such as a de bryune, silva, Rodri, giving you loads of chances. Hojlund success or growth can mainly happen with a dominant midfield I believe. Hojlund is young which is great for his development. So much room for growth.

[@ankushtanwar3993]

This is a rare opinion which lots of people don't understand. Haaland is a good player but he would not have 40-50 goals if it was not for an established and talented midfield of Man City

[@dylanricher4333]

⁠@@ankushtanwar3993A goal a game for Dortmund and Salzburg? These teams are considered great midfields?

[@ankushtanwar3993]

@@dylanricher4333 not saying Haaland is not an elite striker. But Austrian and Bundesliga are not better than Premiere league and he would have easily scored 20-30 goals for any top six premiere league side , the extra goal came because of Man City's midfield

[@earthpeace3323]

Haaland has been a goal machine since he was a young striker at Molde. His replacement (whether at Molde, Dortmund, etc) scored at a far lower rate than him. In terms of track record, Haaland (at the same age of 20 y.o., ) was far superior to Højlund now. As Man Utd fan, I hope this signing turns out well, but there is no hiding the fact that Richard Arnold and John Murtough are overpaying again for a young and relatively unproven striker.

[@ankushtanwar3993]

@@earthpeace3323 comparing Hojlund to Haaland will do no good to the former and it's not fair as well. Haaland is a generational talent. If Hojlund continue to develop and cater to the system that TH employ , then he can be a consistent striker having 20-30 goal+assists from 2nd 3rd season. If that happens, 60 million upfront will be a bargain. Man Utd is paying for the higher ceiling player and for his potential. There is always a risk but it's a shrewd signing given that osimhen was 100 million and Kane is also expensive relative to his age. I would have been fuming if man utd had gone for Kane.
