That photo of him, Garna and Kobbie sat on the advertising hoarding together is starting to look very sad

Chido is nowhere near ready, and ideally would just be doing little cameos when we were winning, if at all, but at least the guy was getting himself into some good positions and looking more of a threat during today's cameo. Probably stronger with his body as well. He's nowhere near ready but I think we are going to be forced to throw him into the frying pan, because he can't be any worse

shocking state of affairs with regards to signings and the position weve been left in. Complete and utter mismanagement
 
Its sad for him that he was shown up by a 17 year old, who made chances for himself and got himself into positions (who still is very raw and was snatching at things) Tbf Hojlund has been very good at converting chances but never gotten himself into any goal scoring positions. It also kind of kills the narrative that he does not get service, Most of the strikers by their movement and their duels create chances and situations for themselves, which he is unable to do for whatever reasons.

Earlier in the season it was a close call between him and Zhirkee whose more useless, but clearly he is proving himself to be worst of the two at this stage, plus its Zhirkee's first season, so benefit of the doubt goes to him. I say we need to loan him to get some money back for him, his confidence seems shot and selling him at this stage will be a big loss. Lets try to recoup value and then sell him next summer (2026).

Yeah, i was thinking that the other day.

We really dont create much for him but at the same time, he doesn't do the basics well.

Honestly, criticizing Hojilund feels like kicking a man while he's down at this point. Should he be even on the pitch if our recruitment/scouts were in any way competent? we needed a backup striker in the summer and who did they sign, Joshua fecking Zirkzee.

Zirkzee, who has plenty to prove right now, is moving mountains compared to Hojlund who cost double the fee.

If one player deserves any level of grace, it's Zirkzee, not the other way around.
 
Not much can truly sum up how bad currently Man Utd are, but the fact this guy even makes the match day squad comes closest.
 
When you see how crap he is playing and just how limited his games essentially is, it makes you wonder why the feck we didn't sign a Henrik Larsson-style free agent over the winter. We were in with a chance of winning the FA Cup and EL.

There were a few knocking about and they could have done a half decent job (like Larsson did).

We're talking Wout levels of bad here from Hojlund. He looks like he's moving through treacle and got shown up by a raw kid.

Exactly. Zirkzee had a superb piece of play when he went back someone in midfield and then played Garnacho through, he's been far better than Hojlund.

After being binned off here and bouncing around Europe for a bit, he’ll be playing in Spanish 2nd division in 3-4 years time.

I think Hojlund is better than this. He'll forge himself a decent career elsewhere, at a decent club.

That said it's all gone down the shitter for him with us with the deadly mixture of pressure, low confidence and lack of quality at the highest level being the culprit.

I really don't think he'll be a regular at a Premier League club once we boot him out. Maybe a mid to lower table Bundesliga club where he doesn't really stand out. That's about it.
 
He should be put out of his misery and be benched for the rest of the season and then either sold or sent on loan, we ain't getting more than 20m for him as well, so we should just accept any offer that has decent money in it and insert a big sell on clause.
 
He is shot on confidence and there also doesn’t seem to be much in his locker apart from the very occasional sleek finish in Europa games. I’d say he is proving to be a bigger flop than Antony even with transfer values taken into account.
 
Has to go this summer. He’s simply too technically unrefined to be a Manchester United attacker. He’s not even an Impact substitute standard.
 
He's one of the most invisible strikers we've ever had
 
18 games without a goal is absolutely shocking. 2 goals and 0 assists in the league this season.

Last season he scored he scored 10 assisted 2 and I'm certain he started far fewer games. He has regressed massively.
 
He's absolute dog shit at the minute.

Thing is he definitely wasn't this shit last year... he badly needs a refresh

He’s nowhere near Wout. You may as well say Dong.

Dortmund are currently a mid-table Bundesliga side and I don't even think they'll want him on current form. I'm thinking Bremen or Hoffenheim, or outside of Germany maybe Feyenoord or Besiktas or back to Copenhagen, all of which are decent clubs.

And no shame in that. I still think he's a decent talent who we should never have signed in the first place.

He's been significantly worse this season than Wout was. Wout was never a goal threat, but there were periods where his general play was quite good. Of course he also had periods where his general play was bad, but even then I don't think he was as bad as Hojlund has been.

The sad thing is that Hojlund actually started this match a bit better than he has been recently and I started getting my hopes up, but it didn't last very long.

Moving mountains? 3 goals in 27 appearances. One goal in the Premier League. My point was we needed a backup striker who was going to actually score goals and relieve some of the pressure.

His last decent-ish game for us was the Leicester home FA Cup tie a solid month ago. I was hoping he'll pick up from there... but no, if anything he's been absolutely tragic since.

Zirkzee has 3 goals in the premier league not 1. Utterly dreadful however still more than Rasmus

We needed a main striker, Hojlund can not lead the line.

He was pretty poor last season for large spells, but excuses were made. He was better than he is playing now but wasn't very good aside from a 6-10 game purple patch

Weghorst offered far more than what Hojlund is currently offering.

Him scoring goals hid the fact he couldn't impose himself on a game through 90 mins. It's what I saw all last season but he was young, but still a significant flaw.

We felt the presence of Obi more than Hojlund within 15 mins.

At least last season he seemed to put himself about and appeared knackered due to the effort.
This season he just jogs and has a bit of a wrestle with the centre back, he does nothing of note in almost every single match.
 
He looks like one of those players from space jam that got their talent stolen.

Every touch of the ball seems to bewilder him, not sure how receiving a simple pass ricochet off his foot that passes to the opposition.
 
International break coming up in a few weeks, I hope we're having a discussion with Denmark about leaving him out of their squad. He needs a break, give him 10 days off to just go away and forget about the game.

They play Portugal twice, I'm not sure how much Denmark will use him anyway. He hasn't scored for them since 2023.
 
I remember under Sir Alex when we used to play kids (Kieran Richardson comes to mind) and they used to miss a lot of chances and he'd say "The important thing is they get in the positions to miss."........ that's the most worrying thing about Hojlund, he's never in a position to miss. Obi doesn't look ready but just by instinct he's in the right places.

They might be open to it then. I think he'd benefit from just having some time off, no training or anything.

It won't magically turn him into a quality striker but hopefully refresh him enough to come back and contribute something. It's not helping him or the team to just carry on as things are at the moment.
 
I don't think it is just short of confidence. He just make less runs and press less, these are not related to confidence or even form.
 
Reminds me of when the Olympics is on theres a suggestion to have a member of the public compete in every heat of every sport so you understand the level of skill of the actual athletes require.
 
The kid isn’t good enough. Even when he was scoring last season I wasn’t convinced. His all round game is not up to scratch. It isn’t his fault that we paid so much for him - but we are going to struggle to move him on that’s for sure. The last two games he played in we were much better as soon as he was replaced. I think our goals came after he left the pitch. It isn’t even that he’s just not scoring - he literally offers nothing else. So what is the point in having him on the pitch? A lack of other options. Chido is young and we have to be mindful of that but he came on and generated his own chances at points. I am not one for kicking a player when he’s down but his presence is genuinely hurting the team and our all round play. He has to be benched.
