Your namesake in his first full season for United scored 11 league goals in 34 games, having already played half a season for us before and was already premier league proven.

He’s almost the polar opposite of Nunez who gets numerous chances a games but misses most of them. Hojlund scores almost every chance he gets, the problem is that he doesn’t get enough which I’d say is a combination of his teammates not finding him but also Hojlund not being the finished...

They’ll probably pay us after this.

Agreed. In an ideal world all of our younger players would be given more time to get up to speed but unfortunately we haven’t really had that option this season.

That’s the spirit, turn on one of our better performing players who happens to be a teenager.

Mad comment.

I’ve checked his stats and his aerial duel won percentage is 71%. Obviously it’s a smaller sample size but compared to Rashford (54%), Hojlund (32%), Antony (13%) and Garnacho (14%) he’s a real outlier in the air for his size and position at United.

I was exaggerating but for a small lad he seems to win quite a few aerial duels.

That just isn’t true though is it? He looks strong enough and wins more headers than basically anyone in the team other than Maguire and Casemiro. Bulking up isn’t always the best thing for players, I’ve always thought it ruined Martial for example.

I see you know your judo well!

Weirdly I think his game going forward has improved, yet his defensive work seems to have really gone to pot. Plus he just doesn’t look like he’s arsed in the slightest which isn’t great.

Why does he? He’s been poor for a while now.

Agreed. He fecking winds me up and I want him out after the final but he’s still the manager and deserves respect.

Agreed, he completely baffles me. Some of his distribution was worse than De Gea.

Greggs twice a day since he moved to Newcastle.
