Yes, and should be.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Ten Hag's Teens
Alright, so Hojland isn't a teen, but try and think of something better.

Gore from the same age group. In the age group below I'd say the best 3 are Lacey, Amass and either Jack Fletcher or Fitzgerald.
Just checked him out, yeah he looks great - like a Wayne Rooney regen
Between these three, personally, I see very high probability of Garnacho having a shining career. Hojlund and Mainoo both are very talented, but this is too early and i will not hype them up right now. Rather wait how they develop. Martial, Rashford both were tremendously hyped and future teams supposedly built around them. But look how disappointing both are.
At the end how they will turn out to be is a pure speculation. Let's hope all three keep their upward journey consistent and help bring glory back to United.

If Garnacho finishes his United career with as many goals and assists as Rashford has now, he will have been a huge success.
You truly can never know how the future will pan out for any brilliant young footballer, but apart from the unforeseeable (catastrophic injury and personal problems) it's hard to see how Hojlund and Mainoo will not have very successful careers. And if all you're suggesting is that we should wait to see how they develop, that's how it goes with every young player. But based on what we know of these three young players now there's no obvious reason why Garnacho can be expected to have a shinier career than Hojlund or Mainoo. Just an opinion, but Mainoo has looked to me the most impressive of the three so far and he's the youngest of three and performs in the most demanding position of the three.
A stable club would go a long way to helping them achieve their potential.
Having a manager that trusts you is a great base, hopefully Sir Jim and Co. can look after the rest.

Ten Hag's Tykes.
That's brilliant.
Yeah, all three very talented, but aside from injuries the biggest threat to talents’ careers are their mentality - especially how they deal with setbacks and crises. In this regard both Mainoo and Højlund seem very robust. Also, they really seem more grounded and less ego-driven while still very ambitious.
