While I don't disagree Hojlund has been poor this season and not overly impressive last season, I think it's a risk to let him go this summer if we're only looking at Delap to come in. We'll potentially be left in exactly the same position as we have been this season with one recognised striker. Yes we've Chido coming through but he should be number 3 next season where he can get game time, hopefully with less pressure on his shoulders.
Rasmus has had it hard here given he came in as a young lad without huge experience and has pretty much been asked to lead the line for us on his own, I wonder what it might do for him to have Delap competing with him where he can be taken out the firing line a little.
I'm not excusing his lack of output and ability shown this season but he's young, raw and could yet do decent things. A decent offer would change the thinking but there are many problems we need to offload (Rashford, Antony, Sancho, Malacia, Mount, Shaw and Onana for starters) before Hojlund.
