Shaktar proving my point. I‘d take Bayern, Leverkusen, Dortmund, Leipzig over Real, Barca, Atleti and…. Girona.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I'm alluding to Ballon d'Or level.
Outstanding player and as an Englishman, glad to see him kick in to, arguably, a higher gear. Particularly as it’s not for a direct rival. The reality is, it was never in question. He’s an elite striker and was the best one available on the market.
Would have loved to see him at United, but you have to be truly naive to think Levy would have sold him for less than £100m. I don’t even think £120m would do it, possibly not even £140m. With that in mind, we did the right thing diverting our attention elsewhere. Even though Hojlund is a gamble and might not work out, that’s a hill I’d be willing to die on.

I wish you guys luck to save football from Liverpool, City from destroying the European competitions
He was great last season, but he's had several seasons at that level. Spurs players aren't candidates for the Ballon d'or though.
I'd prefer Kane for 150m than Hojlund+Mount+Onana.
He proved that he's a freak of nature and the best in the world at scoring goals.
Where else is he supposed to go and play? There isn't a level higher than the EPL, is the thing. The same can't really be said about the Bundesliga.
Haaland was certainly above playing in Germany, I'll say that.
Ask any bayern fan if they're convinced. Bayern barely won against Copenhagen, conceded 3 vs United, got humiliated 0-3 at home in the super cup vs Leipzig & struggled at home against Leverkusen.

Haaland was outscored by Andre Silva and Patrik Schick in Germany by the way. Really makes you think about the level of the Premier League....
Ask the poster you quoted and you might get the answer of a Bayern fan. As a fellow one, I’m with @Acrobat7. Our start to the season is definitely good. Might not be brilliant, but it is without a doubt good.
Would be a dumb way to spend 150m only to still be a mediocre club for the 2 years of elite level play Kane has left in the prem before he really starts dropping..
It's one thing if the the team was playing like a very good team and just missing a CF, or that was the difference for us becoming a top 3 team in Europe. Then go for it. Otherwise it's just dumb planning to spend big on a 30 year old when at best we are a fringe 4th place side until the entire team is up to par and the system is also of a good enough level to compete with Pep/Klopp.
Not all of us have seen him day in day out. I certainly didn't.
What I expected was a very good striker who might struggle a bit with his lack of pace in our squad. What we obviously got is a total monster. This guy's decision making and anticipation are on a different level. He just seems to be always exactly where he needs to be, and his execution, be it passing or finishing, is sublime. Oh, and he has already proven himself as a true leader. If he sees out his contract here, he will be our next captain, once Neuer has retired.
In my whole life as a follower I've never seen a single guy making such an impact after just 10 games. Bonkers. He's going to make Lewa's legacy quite a bit smaller, me thinks.
Yeah, it's of no surprise to anyone who has watched him play every week for the last decade. The guy is the best striker in the world. Obviously not as quick as Haaland, but a similar calibre of finisher, whilst being on a completely different level to him as a footballer. Some looked down on him because he was at Spurs. Also, some go overboard in their criticism of English players, possibly to counteract those who heavily overrate the mere average/good players. They have always been very foolish in Kane's case.
We were third last year though without scoring a lot, suggesting the structure was there, this season is even worse we can't score goals at all and it's a confidence game. If Kane papers over the cracks of this season at the beginning then maybe the team starts to kick into gear. The new signings haven't made us any better at all, whereas we know Kane would. Kane is still hungry for it, he can easily go to 34 or 35 at a high level. It's not like a 30-year-old that has won the World Cup, Champions League and is looking for a payday.
Bayern fans, do you think he will top Lewandowski's 55-goal season this year?
Dropped out of the German cup last week didn’t they so probably not but if anyone can, he can.
Ah, good point. Forgot about that.
He misses 4 matches maximum due to this, so that's not a big impact on his season. A deep CL run would even this out.
IMO the best player in the world right now although I'll hear arguments for Bellingham.
Just love watching him play. It's rare to see such a good goalscorer also be such a complete overall footballer.

With Kane, without wanting to sound obvious, we are in the top 4, and also in the top 2 in the Champions League group, it's very indicative of the club these days to be so unambitious.
Not sure you would. I got a bit of flack before this season for saying that there wasn't a single player from United I'd want at Bayern. I don't think you guys having Kane would "fix" United. Maybe you'd be top 2 in our group, but not top 4 in the league, for that there's way too much that doesn't click.
Amazed as to how many on here didn’t want him at Utd …too old, too expensive blah blah
Are you people seeing the goals he is scoring? He is at the end of chances. He is not some prime Messi.
He wouldn't have that many goals here.
Kane also very good at play making, create for others, which we're lacking too. Not saying we would be in top form with him, but definitely not as frustrating when our chance creators are also out of form leaving our CF isolated, and starve of chances.
He scored from in his own half 2 weeks ago.
Yes Kane is a crazily good player and has been for ages. He is like a combination of Lewandowski and De Bruyne and that’s not even hyperbole. He is a little bit slow is the only thing. But he will be going for bloody ages as when his legs have gone he’ll still do a great job for some team as a playmaker as the game intelligence is really maxed out!
Terrific player, probably my favorite non-United footballer ever since he burst onto the scene in 2014-15 period. We didn't get him but am happy he at least went to Bayern and not one of our rivals.
His all round play is actually fantastic. His passing ability is under appreciated.
From Coman/Sane to Rashford/Antony
Hope he wins his first CL with Bayern this season.
From Coman/Sane to Rashford/Antony
It actually is pretty distributed who provides for him...
Assists for his goals until now came from
Nobody 3
Sane 2 (just in the last 3 matches, before none)
Mazraoui 2
Phonzie 2
Tel, Kimmich, Pavlovic, Coman, Müller, Goretzka - each one
and he scored 4 penalties
That’s hyperbole.
This Nobody seems to be an assist machine so far. Would love him at United.
Doesn't nobody help you sometimes, too. Or own goal. Or the handball in the box from a defender?
Nobody is e.g. the player of the opposition that gives the ball away etc. Blocked balls that fall into your paths etc.
He currently sits at 19G+7A in 15 matches. That's some prime Messi productivity at least
Don't they already have Nobody, who can set up their attackers?
I wanted to say that this is a bit over the top. Then I looked at United‘s squad.
Let me put it this way: there aren’t too many I‘d want at Bayern.
Who are the few? I feel like a fit Shaw and Casemiro would be good for Bayern's squad, but besides those two I struggle to think about who would improve their squad... and even those two would likely be for squad depth and not starters.
You seem very excited but I would gently suggest that you wait until Bayern Munich actually achieve something concrete and substantial behind Kane's goals before you start getting carried away and talking about the reduction of other people's legacies. My issue with him was that he never scored when you really needed him to score in huge, critical games, for both Spurs AND England (World Cup 2022 being the latest glaring example of this - he basically cost England a trip to the final). Scoring lots of goals at the beginning of the season, whilst admirable for a new team in a new league, does not a legend make.
Messi would probably have less goals than McT in this side, he'd just never get the ball and when he did and scored, it would be ruled out for Casemiro breathing to loudly near the ref.
