Man Utd have unloaded $1.8 billion chasing what they’ve unearthed for next to nothing – Fox Sports

The young forward was the star of the show as United scored five goals in the Premier League at Old Trafford for the first time since 2011 against Bournemouth at the weekend.
Greenwood smashed high into the Bournemouth net, first with his left foot and then with his right as free-flowing United won 5-2 in a style rarely seen since Alex Fergusons retirement in 2013.
In his first season with the first team, Greenwood has scored 15 goals despite making just 18 starts in all competitions.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who earned the tag baby-faced assassin for his finishing prowess as a player at Old Trafford, rates the clubs latest prodigy as one of the best — if not the best — finisher I have worked with and seen.
Greenwoods second against Bournemouth was particularly eye-catching as he spun onto his supposedly weaker right foot before crashing the ball with such speed that Aaron Ramsdale could not keep it out despite getting a hand to it.
Its freakish, said former United striker Andy Cole. He can go either side and you know hes going to produce that kind of quality.
Revitalised by the January signing of Bruno Fernandes, United were in fine form before footballs three-month coronavirus shutdown.
But far from seeing their momentum slowed, the manner in which Solskjaers men have returned has raised hopes they could even mount a title challenge to Liverpool and Manchester City next season.
Greenwood did not let the lockdown period go to waste as he reportedly gained three kilograms of muscle mass.
Mason is looking more and more like a man, said Solskjaer prior to the seasons restart.
It has shown on the field as the teenager has started three consecutive Premier League games for the first time, during which United have scored 11 goals.

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martials goals against Bournemouth took them to the 20-goal mark in the season for the first time and with an average of just 21, Uniteds front three have the potential to bring back the glory days of the Ferguson era in the coming years.
Hes always eager to learn and he reminds me, mentality-wise, of how I was when I was younger, said Rashford. If you keep learning, theres no limit to what you can become. Uniteds immediate future is focused on securing a return to Champions League football, with a trip to relegation-threatened Aston Villa next up on Thursday.
The swagger and speed with which United have played in the past three games has come, significantly, in the only three matches Fernandes and Pogba have started together.
Pogba seemed destined to leave Old Trafford for the second time in his career prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. Now, with finances tighter across European football, it is unlikely interest from Real Madrid will materialise this summer.
For the first time in his second spell at United, Pogbas role in the midfield suits his skill-set, with Nemanja Matic providing the platform for the French World Cup winner and Fernandes to share the creative burden.
We know that they (Rashford, Martial and Greenwood) can score goals, we know that theyve got pace, energy, theyre youthful, theyll learn, theyll improve, added Solskjaer.
With the players that we have that can provide the passes with Paul and Bruno, the creativity that weve got in the team now is exciting.
