A good reserve? With his performance like that for Manchester United I think being a reserve player is not really worth it either. One of the reasons Manchester United don't sell is that they are afraid of losing too much, but rather than just throwing money away on a salary that is not comparable to his performance I think 20 million is still very worth it.

Don't forget the tradition for the England national team, whoever the players are will become players who are often defended by the club even though the player's performance is bad, including Maguire himself has been trusted as a player for the England national team for a long time. So I'm not surprised that Man United still doesn't let him go, especially at such a cheap price. However, there is a slight difference in principle, Erik Ten Hag actually dared to take decisive action, namely selling Maguire, which the Man United coach had never done.

Even though there may be special treatment like that, but when it harms the club I think why keep it.
I think that such conditions should be minimized regardless of whether he is a national team player or not if his performance is poor then why keep him because this determines the performance of the club as well.
The condition of giving more defense to certain players just because they are in the national team is an ancient way of only benefiting bad players.

Manchester United needed an experienced striker. As the team aims for the Premier League title next season. At the same time, Manchester United also managed to qualify for the Champions League. I don't know why Erik Ten Hag is adding a young player like Rasmus Hojlund to the squad without adding an experienced Striker. Rasmus Hojlund is quite a good striker. But we are not sure if he can do well with Manchester United next season. Rasmus Hojlund will certainly need a long time to adapt to Manchester United and the Premier League environment. A better performance is not expected from Rasmus Hojlund next season. Ten Hag is probably planning for the long-term now with the Manchester United squad.

I don't see this player much. But the stistics and price spent by Man United don't seem good enough in my opinion. But at a young age, already having a lot of experience with the senior team, makes him have great potential. I think not just in one year, he needs a lot of time to keep improving. So let's see, hopefully it won't be a failed purchase.

We still don't know how Rasmus Hojlund will perform. If he performs well, it is good for Manchester United. But Manchester United definitely needs an experienced striker.
Marcus Rashford is Manchester United's most experienced striker. And while Rashford is an excellent player, he is only 25 years old. He played very well in the last season. Rashford scored 17 three goals. However, if Manchester United's goal is the title, and if they want to maintain continuity in the Champions League, then they must add experienced players to the team. Otherwise, the team will not be able to survive in the competition.

Currently the news about Hojlund actually I think is too exaggerated but indeed this can also be an encouragement as well as pressure for him, especially with the price that is actually very high.
He must prove himself now that at such an expensive price he is indeed worthy.
On the other hand for the position of striker now maybe Manchester United will only hope for Hojlund because there is nothing else that can be used as a reference.
But the good thing in this case Rashford can be more flexible with Hojlund he can play anywhere whether it's striker or winger.
