Manchester United update

Manchester United fans weigh the club's striker plan and a potential Baleba transfer after the pre-season.

Hojlund pressure tests United as Baleba move looms

Manchester United capped the pre season with a trophy win over Fiorentina on penalties, but questions about the starting XI linger. Fans have focused on the forward line, with Rasmus Hojlund facing limited chances at Milan in some talks, Benjamin Sesko arriving to add competition, and the club saying goodbye to David de Gea with a loud farewell.

Supporters on social media debated whether the team needs a more dynamic setup and how the midfield can support the forwards. Some argue for a quicker, more aggressive approach while others stress that better service and balance are essential. The idea of funding a Baleba transfer by selling Hojlund is not dead, but it depends on who can be moved and what money is available.

The debate shows a club balancing youth with experience. Fans want clear pathways for Hojlund and Sesko and a midfield that can unlock chances. If the spending plan stays tight, patience from supporters will be tested and the manager will face questions about tactics and role clarity. The Baleba option highlights how finance and strategy collide in a high pressure transfer market.
