Would love to start a game with with Wheatley, and have Rasmus as impact sub. Wheatley deserves a chance

Wouldn’t be fair to him. Maybe it would be good for Hojlund to get a break, but it’s highly doubtful Wheat would grow from the experience (pun intended). More likely he’d struggle much more than Hojlund does atm. We need a functional team with a clear style of play and strong relations - then we can integrate the (even younger) youngsters gradually.

Fully support this. This helps bringing competitiveness to the striker position, but given how gutless Ten Hack has been so far, don't think he will dare to make such bold but neccessary change.

 

[El Jefe]

So far off being starting quality. He’s spent about 60% of the season just looking lost.

We all know we don’t get him involved enough but he does sweet FA when the chance does come around.

He looks exactly like a player that was playing in Austria two years ago.

 

[Lay]

The fee for him is still utterly baffling. He wasn't a stand out striker in Serie A at all and barely started until Atalanta had injuries.

And here we are

I said it 2 weeks ago and the mob started hounding me. He is not as good as Jackson and he cost half the price. He just doesnt have any quality to hold on to as a means of hope. He is always late, weak in possession and always trying to sort his feet. I just think this is another waste to be honest but happy for him to stay as second choice

 

[E-mal]

Its all hype based on nothing, same as Antony. What a waste

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

He's going to need a hell of a pre-season camp for next season, needs to improve so much more physically and technically.

 

[Bobski]

He is a non factor far too often, even when the ball is not coming too him he is too easy to contain, too easy to physically dominate.

Needs to take huge steps over the Summer.

 

[Malone_Post]

I know we have to whisper it quietly round here..but he really doesn’t look very good. Even for a ‘project’ player standards there doesn’t look to be a huge amount to work with. And that’s before we even get started on the fee. Which quite frankly, along with the money we paid for Antony, should be investigated for money laundering.

 

[Lash]

Close second to Casemiro tonight. Absolutely honking.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

He's going to need a hell of a pre-season camp for next season, needs to improve so much more physically and technically.

The bolded is my concern. How much can a player realistically improve from a technical perspective? For the most part with technique, you either have it or you don't.

 

[Lentwood]

Needs to do much more, his touch is shocking at times, 2nd touch is usually with his knee or chest

 

[Bwuk]

It makes it impossible for the side if we can’t hold the ball up and get forward.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

He's not it tbh.

Weak, poor touch, poor control, no feel for the position, not a natural goalscorer, makes it look difficult

 

[Borys]

His physical attributes are not an asset that will make him stand out.

 

[Dan_F]

I don’t want to write players off in this current situation, but he looks so poor in multiple areas. I thought he looked physically strong and quick in the first half of the season, but it’s opposite right now. Maybe he’s played too much football.

 

[Leftback99]

He wouldn't be starting striker for at least 13 PL clubs.

Including Palace.

The scouting department has major issues in identifying the right players and if the scouts can't put forward the right players with the right profile for the first team even after all their extensive research then all hope is lost in getting United back to the top.

 

[Mike Smalling]

He was one of a long list of problems on the pitch today. Poor first touch, didn't get involved enough, outfought by the centrebacks, etc.

It doesn't help that there is no cohesion at all amongst the front three. They rarely find each other, whether it's Højlund getting the ball or one of the wingers. Every game it seems like they've never played together.

 

[Frank Grimes]

The Danish McBurnie, we got rode here.

 

[flappyjay]

I swear Chicha was more involved in build up than this guy. He has to learn to be involved in the build up face of the attack.

 

[Gandalf]

The fee for him is still utterly baffling. He wasn't a stand out striker in Serie A at all and barely started until Atalanta had injuries.

And here we are

Atalanta had a plan to develop him and played to his strengths, he gradually got more minutes and they utilized him in space and out wide where his pace was an asset. We have stuck him up top and told him to play like an old fashioned number 9 which he had never done before. He may have the physical tools to do that job in the end but he needs to learn how to play that way and not just be chucked into an abysmal team and told to figure it out. He certainly deserves to be given a shot under the next manager and I do believe there is a good player in there if he is actually coached properly and has someone else to share the burden of getting the goals with.

This guy I believe has thesame agency as ETH? By all account our scouts are being vetoed by managers

 

[Bole Top]

Bendtner vibes.

 

[Cassidy]

No that happened after the club already decided to sign him. Hojlund and Mount were signings from the scouting department. ETH wanted to bring in Broberry and Kudos (after missing out on Kane)

Unfortunately not an asset here in England

 

[NZT-One]

He wasn't really a factor today but the whole team was bad. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and I hope, we somehow manage to encourage him further but he looks a little shot these days.

 

[Badunk]

You look at a good player in his position, such as Calvert-Lewin, and how they can be the focal point of attacks and help take pressure off the defence, and you see how much improvement he needs. He hits the deck too easily, doesn't drag defenders out of position so that teammates can run in the space he's vacated, and lacks any semblance of a first touch. I always give players at least a season to find their feet but he's been an abject failure in his first season. Great players find a way to win. He hasn't done that.

 

[E-mal]

No that happened after the club already decided to sign him.

Alright but in my opinion, ETH needs to be investigated. There may be some backhand deals happening here with all the overpriced gabbage we have bought with 400m pound. On that pitch today his to 4 expensive signings worth more than 350m pounds on the field and we look shite

 

[Snow]

Wonder what he'd look like if about 20 appearances this season would have been off the bench coming on for a competing striker.

As a 20-21 year old he's not capable of leading the line.

Guess we should also investigate the previous managers as well

 

[lex talionis]

I'm starting to lose all hope with Rasmus. Even without perfect service a top young striker will find ways to create chances on his own. That's not happening.

 

[redshaw]

We've seen glimpses of a good player and we're not utilizing him right.

Sadly he's got stuck in a rut, looks physically shot, which is impressive for our club to make such a big young dane unit look like Milner at 48 upfront. We use him like a work horse target when he's a sprinter and poacher.

 

[Unam333]

You mean vetoed by the United board? Maybe, I don't know. I just know that our scouts should do more to support the first team coaches and the gaffer. This is not working.

 

[Cassidy]

A predictably disappointing signing. 0/2 for attacking signings for a combined 160m.

Hopefully in Hojlunds case he can improve next season but by all accounts he only has next season to prove himself now

 

[Gandalf]

Unfortunately not an asset here in England

It is down to the role he is being asked to play, I know you have a major downer on him but he has come into pretty much the worst possible situation for a developing young player and been horribly mismanaged. The fee is what it is, we waited until the last minute and then bought him from a club that did not really want to sell and didn't need the money and so they would only sell for a huge profit.

It is pretty obvious that his confidence is in pieces right now and with the season basically done he should have been taken out of the side a couple of weeks ago and maybe just given a couple of cameos from the bench. ETH is not looking ahead though, he is trying to save his job and is making decisions for right now and not with the future in mind.

 

[Telsim]

He made a fatal mistake coming here. I don't know if he will ever be world class, could be, but he most definitely won't become that here. A graveyard.

Taken out if the team for who? For fecks sakes.

Just go back and look at the amount of abuse we got for talking about the fee, let alone his quality as a player at the beginning of the season.

Agreed. Needs to be investigated, charged and sentenced for fraud.
