10 league goals, 16 in total in his first season, and in this United team that barely creates anything. He's done decently.
You expecting a hattrick in the cup final ?19 goals on debut season. That's not bad at all. And work freaking hard also.
keep the faith, brother.You expecting a hattrick in the cup final ?
In the last couple of games we're using a front two, he looked great drifting into wide spaces on the right and making use of his pace that way. He also played in a two striker system for Atalanta.Great goal in the conception and finish.
Am i imagining things or in these 2 cameos has he not been a lot more freed up positionally, dropping into half spaces, pulling wide? Night and day from sticking up top backing into CB's?
If so it suits him so much more at this stage of his development.
Yeah. Making him as some sort of Stoke striker is not playing to his strength. It's a stupid tactic as well.Great goal in the conception and finish.

it would probably mean European football next season19 goals on debut season.
Andy Cole on the overlap was saying he needs to stop fighting with centre backs just for the sake of it and actually try find some space where he's not in a 50/50 duel every time he receives the ball.Great goal in the conception and finish.

Enter through backdoor like a boss.it would probably mean European football next season
Ideally he would have started some games and come on in others this season but due to not having anyone else we've basically had to play him whenever he's been half fit.Last 2 games make me think he's look good coming off the bench with a seasoned striker taking the reigns.
Ten Hag basically saw Martial have one good pre-season and kept him.
Hojlund himself said recently that he was surprised to get this many starts in this 1st season. So the plan was definitely to use him off the bench, Ten Hags mistake for relying on Martial to be fit after a semi-decent preseason.Last 2 games make me think he's look good coming off the bench with a seasoned striker taking the reigns.

Or the clubs mistake for not buying a reliable striker?Hojlund himself said recently that he was surprised to get this many starts in this 1st season. So the plan was definitely to use him off the bench, Ten Hags mistake for relying on Martial to be fit after a semi-decent preseason.
It’s pretty decent. In the context of the number of minutes that he got as a #9 it doesn’t seem that impressive. Until you consider that this team doesn’t create any chances for him and then it looks decent again.16 goals is a decent return for a 21 year old striker in his first year. Lets hope the next manager can build on that.
I haven't big the biggest Hojlund fan but he has shown some positive glimpses of a player who he may evolve into. Still doesn't negate the priority of signing a proper striker who has 25-30 goals in him.It’s pretty decent.

Hopefully he stays healthy and builds on from here.
