Crazy money, United are screwed
I once, relatively recently too, had a Yanited fan describe him as "United's Mbappe" to me with a straight face.

Certainly got his wages at least. Not sure the comparison goes any deeper than that though.

Hojlund looks like a good center forward 20 years old looks of time to develop.
Yes. And it's not his fault United paid about 3 times what he's actually worth at this stage of his career.

Will he get that time, or kndeed any service of note, at United though?

This may actually be their gravest error.

Fergie never let players get too big.

If they made demands above their place, they were gone.

The dynamic worked under his rule or you are out...and it was healthy.

Since he left, they have continuously rewarded players for good form with huge salaries, even players who didnt necesarily deserve got it.

And then signings coming in with big salaries too.

They have thrown the whole balance out.

If they had any sense, they would do what Arsenal did. By hook or crook, get rid of all the high earners and start afresh.

They appeared too scared to do that so they will keep coming unstuck.
