Exactly. People are being way too harsh on him. The way people criticise him and paint him as some sort of Heskey regen is ridiculous.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

What happened? Was he rubbish?
Thank you. He’s only 21. The people writing him off already are being over the top. Yes he didn’t do well today, but for feck’s sake.
Wasn't great. Looked similar to how he played for us last year imo, just out of sync with rest of the team.
Yeah, he was atrocious today, didn’t do one thing right all game.
Not a chance.
It's embarrassing.
Totally agree... Heskey is much better than Rasmus.. He has been by far the worst player in Denmarks last 3 games.. He is not even the best striker for DEnmaek. He is just not good enough for a team like United even if we finished 8
There’s no contest. Lukaku’s first touch is probably a bit dodgier than Højlund’s but he’s always been much better at using his strength to hold off opponents and bring others into play.
Thought he looked better on crosses coming in to be honest. Game past him by otherwise.
I mean, Lukaku being a big guy helps. Højlund is tall but unlike Lukaku he’s not that stocky.
Heskey actually wins headers tbf
That’s funny. A young Heskey was a more rounded and far more exciting player than Höjlund.
Let’s see how he gets on next season. We won’t be able to bring in a world class starter but hopefully we can bring in some decent alternative to take some pressure off and give us options.
Absolutely. I was quite concerned by his performance today but it wasn’t as disastrous as some people try to make it out to be.
It was a bad performance tonight. Generally holds on to the ball for too long, and should have scored the one real chance he got.
Sesko looked a class apart and in hindsight looks like the player we should have spent our fortune on. Hoijlund is so lacking in many things that make a world class striker - he finds a way to get isolated from games, his runs aren't spot on making it difficult for creators to find him, his touch isnt perfect, link up play a bit average.
We tried
I’m surprised people are pilling on Rasmus. He had a decent game. Too easy to fixate on the Sesko shot against the post and say he outshone Rasmus. I disagree. I thought Sesko had a mixed performance. Anonymous for a good spell of the game.
Rasmus running and hold up play gave the Danes a great platform to build on. Their goal came from his effort. After the goal they played a little too conservatively. Happy to keep possession and draw out their opponent. They’ll benefit from gambling more on the runs he keeps making. Rasmus almost scored from one of the chances they carved out from a cross to him. Great Oblak save.

Great..
And we'd still be trying now. We'd have to wait until next summer, at the earliest, and he'll cost more than Højlund did by then.
People need to stop moaning like little bitches.
Sesko had two good attempts from distance, but didn't do a whole lot besides that.
Who cares how he does for Denmark?
Phil Foden was the best player in the league last season and he’s abysmal every match he plays for England.

Not on this forum
He had two good shots. Other than that he was decidedly average.
2 decent strikes and he looked a class apart. This fan base is a mess.
Cheeky hattrick against England
I’ve noticed that you seem absolutely desperate to shit on him at every opportunity. Why is that? I only saw the first half but his performance was fine. Not exceptional but nowhere near “atrocious”.
He's just not that good. Hoping we get a first XI starter so that he can be back up this summer.
Spent most of his time on his backside.
Poor performance and missed a sitter

The deficiencies in his game are very concerning. He's a good player to bring off the bench against tired legs with his pace and that's it for now.
Just doesn’t get himself involved enough.
3 games? That's it?
Genuine question. Did you see Heskey play? Because those of us were there certainly didn't.
Didn't see the game but his rating was a 4/5 according to Google so not everyone thought he was terrible.
People are getting a a bit carried away with their expectations though when it comes to him. He's a young lad being asked to carry the line for a club like United as well as his country. Even the likes of Rooney, Ronaldo and others weren't expected to do this at that age, benefiting from a more experienced team mate to help guide them.
Wayne Rooney, aged 18, went on the rampage at Euro 2004.

Rooney was 18 then, Rasmus is 21. The two should never be compared, Rooney was on a completely different level.

What the hell ? I thought he was good enough the few times he was on the ball, held the ball very well, created space for his teammates and had a good chance saved.
Saving himself for England
If that's your level of understanding the game or rating players, you should never bet on anything related to Football
It was average game from him and had one great chances. It usual few desperate posters trying their best to shit on him.
