Hojlund is a well-intentioned player, but I don't think he is enough as a centre forward to take Manchester United to the next level. His stats in the Champions League may be good, but I think he is very inadequate in terms of his game, which we see in the Premier League. He was not good in the last game either. There are some moments when the team is not doing well, but the striker scores a goal and wins the match or becomes the fuse that ignites the team, although this boy has that energy, he is insufficient because of his technique. Maybe in the future he will improve his game and become better, but for now he is not a key player for ManU in my opinion. By the way, I have to say that Rashford's horrible form is getting annoying.
That's why, Ten Hag prefers him over other players. even though, at that time Juve wanted to release their center forward, Vlahovic. Apart from that, there are several players that Ten Hag is targeting according to the budget they have. In the interview session between Ten Hag and Hojlund, Ten Hag had a personal assessment of this player. Of course he can't be relied on at the moment, after all he's not a pure, ready-to-use sticker like Kane.
Ideally, Ten Hag wants good progress from the players he brought in from Atalanta. Unfortunately, he has not been able to maximize his performance in the Premier League in his nine matches. However, he performed well in the Champions League by scoring five goals in four matches. I mean, there is something wrong with the United squad as a whole. This is not just a problem for Hojlund alone, but for the entire team. that's why he had difficulty scoring his first goal in the Premier League. So, that's why we are waiting after all United players have recovered from their injuries, especially the core players.
For now, we give him the opportunity to learn a lot and achieve a strong bond between the players. because from my point of view, United players don't have a strong bond, especially new players who tend to be ignored. on the other hand, some players are not disciplined and want to appear and show their respective prowess. Ten Hag must fix this problem in the future. also, for Marcus Rashford. We'll see, United still have a lot of games to play. especially, if in the end they resign from the Champions League and don't have tickets to the European League. automatically, their focus is only on this competition.
After all the bad news they had in Manchester United, that's very good to see Marcus Rashford is backed and he doesn't have any serious problems, so is going to help the team in the next games.
In the game between England and Malta, he got injured and Manchester United was very worried because of this player and now he is back in the team training which means this player is still in the good form.
