Manchester United have reached an agreement with Serie A side Atalanta over the signing of striker Rasmus Hojlund; 20-year-old was left out of the squad that played Bournemouth in a pre-season friendly on Saturday

Crazy money!

Is he this good? I've never seen him play, but his numbers aren't very impressive for me to justify this amount of money.

I checked a video of last season with his goals, nothing outstanding, but he can play off the last man, pressures people well, and with improved supply he looks like he could do a job. The fee is ridiculous but they are clearly banking on CL football and challenging for the title. Not sure who else is available without a bigger fee (like Kane, who I can't see going to United, and don't really want him either).

He has to hit the ground running or else the trolls will be out in force. It seems a lot of money for a player with his career stats, but I guess that is how the market is these days?!

Strikers are just so few and far between; it's mental money, but they need someone who can score and is full of confidence. He hasn't got a great record because of his age, they clearly see the potential to hit the ground and get a job done with the supply he will be given. Definitely hopeful, just wary.

Honestly, I think he could score 5 goals and be a success. Anyone is better than Anthony Martial.

Can't wait for the Haaland comparisions just cos they're Norwegians with similar names.

He's not even Norwegian, he's from Denmark.

Is he? Well fuck, I could have sworn I saw somebody say that. Thanks for the correction!

Go back far enough in time, and there's not really a difference. (Yes, I'm being cheeky)

Striker market is crazy. He's promising, but that's a lot of pressure for a 20 year-old.
