    Thank you so much James. I was brought up with samba football and total football: Cruyff and Ronaldinho are amongst my favorite players. I was gutted when United missed out on Ronaldinho and am excited to see some of this with Joshua. Serie A is slower than PL so I am hoping he can cut it. I am wondering if United will play differently next season and play him on the right or left and/or possibly play a more fluid front 3 like united had with martial greenwood and rashford. ten hag liked martial for this and also Wout though out did not have sufficient skill.

    People comparing him to Weghorst are people that have zero football knowledge, comparing him to Marko Arnautović when he was at his peak I could understand. A big striker with a bit of pace, quick feet, creative, chips in with goals but not an out and out goal scorer. He'll help other players like Rashford, Garnacho, Amad and Antony play better by linking up with them and creating space by dragging players out of position.

    Man I know your focus is primarily the prem and I get it if there wasn't any other football but this video instead of spain france video? do UK viewers really not care if England isn't involved?

      Of all the channels to accuse of only covering the prem this ain’t the one man. Give him time the match was only 12 hours ago

    The real reason Man Utd want him is so that Ten Hag doesn't have to replace his boyfriend Antony.
    Man Utd need a right winger and not a false 9.
