    That would be wonderful for him as an individual, I’d rather we weren’t the test-bed though. As for Strand-Larsen, he seems a clumsy oaf and gets more than his share of luck on the pitch - not a terrible attribute, but I’m just hoping for more, he’s very “Wolves/Fulham/Everton” for me.

    However, we’re fast approaching the beggars-can’t-be-choosers stage

    It could be wonderful for us especially at the quoted fees involved.

    It is like our players under Bruce. ****e but under proper management massive improvement.

    Man United's solution to any player not performing to their potential is to spend £70m - £80m on a new one instead.

    Decent support and coaching can make a huge difference. Who knows how many potentially great players they have literally ruined in the last few years.

    This is why it's so infuriating when the likes of Sesko go there. If he doesn't quite work out for them, he'll simply be the next one to rot.
