Lukaku was scoring 17 in the PL for WBA at 20.
Lukaku was one of my least favourite United players to watch with his habit of falling apart in big games and the constant moaning at his teammates but it would be a huge result for us if Hojlund ever becomes as good as him. He's got time to develop but Lukaku has been one of the most consistent goal scorers in Europe over the last decade, there's a lot of work to be done before Hojlund reaches that level.
 
I can’t believe some of the takes in this thread. He’s their most dangerous player. He’s 21. He scored 16 goals for us at 21. He’s got lots of great raw attributes that are EASY to see IMO. Pace, running in behind, strong and physical and actually I do think he has strikers instincts. Tonight he should have done better with the first chance. The other two he did all he could.

honestly this place
 
You're right, comparing him to Lukaku is what an unbiased person would do. :lol:

We’ll be very lucky if he turns out anywhere near as good as lukaku. The guy is literally miles off his level at present.

Yup. He was poor in the group stages but has been a real handful tonight. A decent performance let down by a couple of poor finishes. And one thing we know for sure about him is that his finishing is usually decent. So tonight has definitely been encouraging. So weird to see it being used as a rationale for giving up on him.
 
Had a decent game tonight within his own limitations after being anonymous in the group games, been a threat, normally he finishes better.

His erratic touch has to improve.
 
A horrible indictment of a mans importance in front of goal, when you take him off in a hail mary situation.

He was trash. Hooked when they needed a goal, summed it up
 
Big rest and hopefully that young 21yo who is literally 21 years old and needs time because he’s 21 will have a good season next year.
 
Some of the comments from so called United fans are way more embarrassing than any of his performances really.

The clue is in the name. You’re a supporter for a reason.

Trash is hyperbole. Yes, he should probably have scored 1 given the chances he had but getting on the end of chance is actually a rarity for him, so I take that as a positive for him. He had some reasonable hold up play and also some awful stuff, major work required there to bring him to a consistent level and make him less one dimensional.
 
Am I going crazy?

Has he just switched his attributes since he came to United?

He came in as a deadly striker who would put away 1/2 opportunities that come his way, but would have bad touches and poor interplay.

Now he seems very good at interplay and improved his touch, but his striking ability has gone downhill.

I hope Ruud helps him.

I saw very little good from him today. He couldn't hit an easy near post shot on target, he wasn't really trying to win the ball whilst being physical backing into players, he snatched at his chances and offered little to nothing in build-up. I think he was a bit trash.

Havertz for example missed easier chances but contributed far more to the general play.

If he turns out to have the career Lukaku has had then it means he’s squeezed out every bit of his potential.

I like him but "usually decent" is actually pretty overboard I think. His finishing leaves a lot to be desired, which is hardly ideal.
 
He needs to manage himself in games a bit better, I think he runs himself into the ground too often. I'm not advocating for him to no longer press and work hard but I just think he needs to be a bit more efficient with his energy levels which in turn could help him when opportunities present themselves. Hope he gets a good rest now.
 
Poor tournament for him. Hopefully he takes a good amount of vacation and come back recharged. Looks absolutely exhausted
