I've also heard he's not happy at Utd. This would make sense given his performances and his attitude on the pitch, getting frustrated, kicking the ball away etc. Given you bring in strikers to score goals, he's been a complete flop and an expensive one at that.
I agree with all that.

On the Tony A interview he said to the effect we needed to make sure we had enough up front (risk then shanks might have gone in jan but obviously not turned out that way).

It made sense when we were new to division to make sure we had enough strikers as they win you games.

Fwiw I agree McNulty looked good in patches but it hasn’t worked out. He quite consistently gets booked for kicking the ball away.

I guess we just have to wait for the loan to run out and then we both go our separate ways
