Found them online:

It took Wayne Rooney 3 seasons to score 20 goals all comps for us.

It also took Wayne Rooney 6 season to score 20 league goals for us.

It also took Ronaldo 4 seasons to score 20 goals all comps.

It took Ronaldo 5 seasons to score 20 league goals for us.

Don't set unrealistic goalscoring expectations for Rasmus Hojlund.

Patience is the key word!

You are correct that patience is the key word, but I think there are different factors involved now. Most of our goals came from Rashford last season. Back when Rooney and Ronaldo were around everyone shared the goals. Goals came from everywhere. Scholes, Giggs, Tevez, RvP, Berbatov etc.

But then we could argue there were more goals to share around then as we scored more then. I'd be surprised if Højland hit 20 goals in his first season, especially not being a penalty taker and not having the quality of crosses he would need. But I would expect a goal every other game that he starts. So probably 15 in all comps. That would be with an injury free season mind.

And I would be more than happy with that start. Especially if he was involved in many goals too.

Could not agree more Ed, think it very important people do not overload him with expectations, although sadly we will!
Very much look forward to seeing him and Rashford in tandem, catching teams who play a highline against us, running in behind with all that pace. Hojlund is a sub 11 second 100 metre runner, that is quick!
I don't expect to see him starting all games, think he will be eased in slowly as he adjusts to premier league and he is of course still only 20 and still learning.

Well said Ed ? it’s easy to get carried away. The kid is 20 years young and is making a giant step up. I don’t see the point in fans setting targets, they are just setting the player up for a fall. Someone down the page said it’s more about how he settles in the first year, and that’s spot on.

Our only real striking option at the moment is Martial, as long as the lad turns up each week it will be an improvement on what we already have.

Let's be honest, we are paying 10-20m more than City paid for Haaland.

If Højlund doesn't score at least 45 goals in all competitions this season he'll be an abject failure?.

If anyone is interested, we are currently playing Villarreal in the Uefa Youth League and trailing 0-4 at HT.

One thing to consider for everyone is who's the replacement going to be? Southgate or Ten Hag is different question for many than say Nagelsmann, Amorim, etc or Ten Hag?

Asking again AJH, does Lopetegui count as first manager sacked or not?
