In an unexpected twist at Manchester United, 22-year-old Rasmus Hojlund has faltered under Ruben Amorim’s system, raising serious performance concerns.
A veteran scout with extensive experience at the club expressed alarm over Hojlund’s stagnant development. He criticized the forward for failing to adapt to the new tactical demands.
At 22 years old, Hojlund has played 22 league matches this season and scored just two goals. His lack of creative link-up play further worries supporters.
The club invested £72 million to sign him from Atalanta two years ago. This hefty fee intensifies the pressure for immediate improvement.

Recent tactical issues have surfaced as Hojlund struggles with basic skills. He loses nearly every ball and fails to beat defenders consistently.
Manager Ruben Amorim demands swift adaptation and visible progress from his strikers. Since his arrival in November, Hojlund has shown little improvement on the pitch.
The club contemplates a summer transfer for a more experienced striker. They might also retain promising talent like Joshua Zirkzee after early concerns eased.
Meanwhile, the midfield remains a priority. The club plans to keep star midfielder Bruno Fernandes, whose current contract runs until 2027 with an option for an extra year.
