What do we do with him? All the noise was on Zirkzee being the one to go but I think it should be Hojlund. Hard to see exactly what he offers.
Has to be sold. It can’t even be in question anymore in my opinion.
He has been dreadful in the Premier League since going. He’s probably only had five good games in the league.
Whatever the best version of him is will not be worth the damage he’ll do here before reaching that level.

Where good passes go to die!
Exactly. A striker is an integral part of the attack, the others aren't just there to spoon-feed him chances. He has to play a role into making the whole team more cohesive when attacking.
It's impossible to do that if you cannot do the most basic aspects of CF play
Zirkzee, who isn’t a traditional No. 9, is on the verge of taking his spot in the starting eleven. You could see Hojlund’s disappointment; he’s well aware that his performance against the league’s weakest defense was really poor.
He works hard but just doesn’t seem to have the level required to play at a top club in the PL (or even a 12th placed one, at this time). Work ethic and desire alone won’t cut it, unfortunately, as he needs to be influencing games much more.
I think in team that counter attacks and plays 442 Hojlund could have a place, but he’s miles off it here.
The worst thing is he's just not improved even a little bit in the 18 months he's been at the club.
Came in as a raw 19 year old. Is now a raw 22 year old. We might be able to palm him off to an Italian or Spanish club because he does have a good record in European games. I've given up on him ever making it at United though.

Hes not been here 3 years. What am I missing?
It would be best for all parties if he gets sold. Looked like he was in tears after the match. He has been a United fan since childhood so it's obviously not fun seing your dream fall apart like that, but this season has been a horrorshow from him.
I’d sell him at half price back to Serie A. There’s just 0 sign of progress or improvement and he’s too poor technically to make up for it either.
Turns 22 next month
set an absolute sitter up for Garnacho from his ability to stretch those legs on the flank. That’s what he should be doing more off. I suspect we will address that position in the summer.
Needs to spend a season on loan at a club with lower expectations.
Maybe he was 20 when he signed? Still, he's on the verge of no longer being a young prospect. He's at the age where he should be delivering consistently.
It's always fun to see our own fans really revel in joy when their least favorite players fail...
Maybe he didn’t join at 19?
He simply doesn’t have enough experience and know-how to play as a sole No9 in the PL. he runs his socks off and battles all day, but I don’t feel like he is being coached well enough as there are too many simple things that a everyday fan can spot in his game which need changing.
His touch is clumsy at best and he doesn’t seem to be able to read the game well enough to find the rights positions.
He is very raw, with some blistering running power coupled with a decent finish, he just needs to sit back and learn his trade out of the spotlight a bit.

I agree he isn’t good enough. Just the ages in your post confused me
Needs to be sold, not good enough and we can't wait for him.
He could become our new Lingard, young talent forever.
I had very high hopes for him, but with time i think they are fading away. As a striker, he just does not give you anything no holdup play, no intricate passing or linkup play with attacking players, heavy touches, passing backwards all the time. There is a player in him somewhere, but i don't know whether as a club we can continue to have such a limited player right now to be starting for us as forward.
Yeah, i am over the moon because United player is flopping. Get a grip.
It was just funny comment. Because it is true.
It’s not his fault - it was just a mad purchase to think he could come in and be a starter for us. He could still come good but he needs to spend some time on loan and come back possibly in 2026/27. He may never be good enough for us but it’s too soon to write him off completely.
His hold up play is so frustrating, we had a potential four on two first half and he could of easily shielded the defender and laid it off to start the attack and just lets the defender breeze by him and get the ball.
Feel like Zirkzee is more beneficial against teams that will sit back currently.

Terrible. He struggled against worst defence in league. Gave him 2/10 on ratings as he actually did create that big chance passing to Garnacho in first half.
In tough place atm but clearly Hojlund shouldn't be 1st striker for United as he's not good enough right now. Pressure doesn't help. Don't agree with some that he should be top player by now. Soon to be 22 but not all players are good enough at that age yet and for strikers it someone takes until they're bit older. But you'd definitely expect Hojlund to be at least bit better. He's been quite good for us in European games ever since he joined but different story in PL.

Yes he was poor tonight but if Garnacho buries the sitter he creates for him early on, then the assist could give him the confidence to kick on. It's small margins I know but I've not given up on him yet.

You have been on his back since he arrived though. Always keen to comment on him at every moment except during his good spells last season.
Every other forward thinking player always seems to have a higher xG than him, every single game. Toothless player who is miles out of his depth. Must be shipped out this summer, the role is too important and the team can’t go anywhere with a bang average #9.
He made bad career move. PL for strikers is highest task of all. Even many top strikers failed in PL.
I don't think he fits in this team. Could see him doing well in the Bundesliga though
Huh??? Playing with his back to goal is easily his worst trait, he's hopeless at it yet he keeps trying to do it.
The thing that he is decent at is when he has space to run into from the left channel with a ball played behind. But ask him to receive a pass with pressure behind him, he's hopeless.
This is exactly why I don't see any reason to keep him. We simply don't play that way. We did that pass once today and then back to hoofing.
He's offering absolutely nothing.
Get Evan Ferguson in on loan for rest of season, can't be any worse than Hojlund.
Jesus he was woeful tonight. He can’t start on Sunday.
No big team plays that way. Hell pretty much every team in the league needs the ability to play the ball into their CF, whether it is going long to relieve pressure or if you are building up and they have to play it around. It's a core CF skill for a lone striker. He's not a lone striker at all, he could maybe play in a pairing but even at that it's not like he's some big prospect. Colossal waste of money imo.
Have been a relatively big defender of him, but my patience is running thin now. Still don't think it's his fault though, he shouldn't be in this position.
