It helps when you have a position of strength in the transfer market.£14m City paid for Julien Alvarez. Just leaving this here.

What a bizarre comparison
The point about him getting touches and service is also a really bad one imo.
Good players that make things happen get the ball often, unless you’re a poacher or play as a striker in Pep’s team.
LVG had one of the worst attacks we’ve seen from a United side but Martial go so much of the ball because he could make things happen so players constantly looked for him. There was never any talk of Martial or Rashford not getting touches that season.
Hojlund does sweet FA with the ball when he gets it or slows the attack down. It’s just like Lukaku, he didn’t get many touches in games because he did little with it when he got it.
Compare how much of the ball Hojlund sees compared to Nicolas Jackson and you’ll see the difference is because one makes things happen and the other doesn’t.

Unted can't just click their fingers and players come running, Kane was never joining United and Spurs were never selling him to usWe also could have bought Kane last summer for the price of the bang-average Mason Mount and potentially-average Rasmus Hojlund. Bayern wouldn't have matched our fee.
The fact we didn't buy the best English striker of his generation when available, on the back of the upwards trajectory we were on last season, is simply said, fecking criminal.
Toney has to be brought in this summer to fix this self-inflicted shite of a mess.

Hojlund is the better player btw
Than Alvarez? No chance
This, his balance needs work and his cleats looking at. Garnacho slips a lot as well.He slips a ridiculous amount when trying to shoot, where it goes off his other foot. Not sure why. He's got decent shooting technique otherwise.
I think it’s coincidence - the sample size is laughably small. Though it could also be due to the fact that he only receives the ball under pressure and never gets a clear cut chanceHe slips a ridiculous amount when trying to shoot, where it goes off his other foot.

Ya , I have to agree but our fanbase is as toxic as some of our players nowadaysSecond highest goal scorer for us this season in the wankest team in many years and at one point highest scorer in the CL before our defense couldn’t stop shipping goals and these are the kind of posts your apparent “supporters” post about you.
Absolute joke of a braindead fanbase I swear
Is Kane better than Hojlund? Of course. But those who think signing Kane last summer would have been the answer to all our prayers are living in absolute fairy land. The team is absolute dog shit from top to bottom and whilst Hojlund isn’t totally blameless we are setup in a way that barely involves him in the game. He’s getting a fraction of the touches and the chances the likes of a Haaland get. His conversation rate is actually quite high considering but you’re all pissing in his chips if he misses 1 chance despite it being maybe the only chance he gets all game. Where as the likes of Haaland and Kane last season and this season miss multiple chances a game but get so many provided to them they usually score, their conversion rate is pretty crap but they get so much service it doesn’t matter.
I would give you a like if I had the possibility to do so. This is such a good post.
He used to make the right runs in the first half of the season, but he wasn't getting the ball played into him.
I haven't looked at the stats, but Garnacho seemed to me today attempted more crosses than he has managed all season combined.
Must be so hard for him to move in the box when you've gotten used for you wingers to shot, no matter how many opposition players are in front of them, or how acute the angle is.
He will come good for United, as long as we create a functional team.
Garnacho attempted crosses but they were all gash, a few went straight into the defenders a couple went all the way out for throw ins. He wasn't aiming for anyone, just slinging it in there and hoping for the best.
I like Hojlund, think he's got a good attitude and he's got the potential to be a really good player, will he ever become world class? Who knows at this stage, but he's got all the raw skills to be a top striker, comparisons to Lukaku are way off the mark in my opinion.
Just can't understand people writing him off this early, there's barely a striker in the world that would thrive with the supply lines at Utd.
The answer to the question in last line of your comment is in the bolded bit - I don't see raw skills that would make Hojlund anything more than bang average striker. He offers nothing apart from being quite good at finishing chances, what is a terrible combination for a team that doesn't create chances.Garnacho attempted crosses but they were all gash, a few went straight into the defenders a couple went all the way out for throw ins.

Ironically he held the ball better yesterday, laid it off well, used his chest to lay it offThe answer to the question in last line of your comment is in the bolded bit - I don't see raw skills that would make Hojlund anything more than bang average striker.

Is it his fault he's not scoring goals at the moment? No, because the team around him is shit. Is it his fault he can't hold on to the ball and slows down our attacks? Yes.
If he wasn't playing for United we wouldn't be calling him a player with high potential. We should support the players but also call them what they are if they look nothing more than average.
Agree with this, his link up play was quite good yesterday, but he just never gets opportunities to score!Ironically he held the ball better yesterday, laid it off well, used his chest to lay it off
yet there was barely anyone near him in support
he’s trying but he needs help
He was alright yesterday. He was bad in previous games, overall a bit meh. It's definitely not his strength. He's not a target man like Weghorst and we knew that. The moment he tried to do something more with the ball he just lost it or slowed us down though. I just don't rate his overall game/contribution.Ironically he held the ball better yesterday, laid it off well, used his chest to lay it off

We aren’t playing to his strengths yet, why isn’t he running the channels to create space for others? He has a great asset in his pace, we don’t set it enoughHe was alright yesterday.

Watch his movement on every Garnacho run, never gets in a position that the ball can get to him.
He either runs behind all the defenders or drops off. Not one good near post run.
Will never score with this sort of movement.

This is strange indeed, personally I believe ETH has lost his mind and is doing exactly the opposite what is good for players like Mainoo, Hojlund and a couple of others.We aren’t playing to his strengths yet, why isn’t he running the channels to create space for others?

Won't go through each one. But at 1.09 as an example, there is only one place Garnacho can get the ball with speed he is running at and the angles the Arsenal defenders are cutting off, and that's a near post cut back.Literally think his movement is good for most of those? He’s either making a run or delaying a run to be in space, which ones are the issue for you?
More so you can his general isolation, always multiple Arsenal men around him and Garnacho isn’t exactly crossing early, he’s either running past his man (in which case you want more midfielders coming in for headers or cut backs as the defensive line will naturally have become lower) or cutting in a shooting (in which case all he can do is follow up).
Why do you think comparisons with Lukaku are off the mark out of interest? They seem to be very similar players to me - good finishing but little contribution to all-around team play and relatively poor first touch.
To be honest, I don’t think Højlund looks as talented as Lukaku at the same age. At a slightly younger age than Hojlund, Lukaku was leading WBA to 8th in the premier league with a goal or an assist per 95 minutes. Hojlund is currently on a goal or assist per 213 minutes playing for Manchester United.
Perfect example, right foot pass is on to the edge of the box. I stead bad touch, bad touch, then passes to an Arsenal player.
Watch the clip of it, the ball goes into him, his touch is poor.Using that picture to slate Højlund is a prime example of why its difficult to have football conversations on here. Where the flying feck are his team mates. He is asked to basically wrestle alone with the entire Arsenal defence while his team mates run around the box like headless chickens.
This team is set up to fail by a manager who clearly has no clue how to use the type of players we have.
