Its not often I agree with the Prince’s old mouthpiece, but he’s spot on here for me.
One has stand-out physical attributes that should take him to the top, or somewhere very near the top.
He’s quick, physically imposing, cool in front of goal, and decent in the air.
You can’t tell me that he couldn’t cut it at this level with decent game-time.
Whereas Cannon is a plank of wood cosplaying as a footballer.
But the latter cost 10 mil, so he has to hang around the side like a bad smell until he either comes good (which I do hope he does) or runs his contract down.

If he would be getting championship minutes if we were in the PL, he’d be getting championship minutes now.
If Oxford, Portsmouth, Charlton and the like would have wanted him on loan and would play him regularly, we’d have let him.
My guess is they haven’t been in for him, or would want him as a bench option, whereas at Lincoln he would get more minutes on the pitch at a team creating lots of chances, which would be better for his development.
I trust United’s professional staff over some randomer on Twitter.
