If the plan is to have him and Delap in the squad next season we are in big trouble.

Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) give their end of season awards out! They celebrate the best players, goals and moments of the season (there were some, honestly) and also give out awards for the worst and most disappointing players/moments of the season.
They then discuss all the latest transfer rumours and get into the potential ins and outs this summer at Old Trafford.
He’s certainly regressed this season. Massively. He was (and hopefully still is) a promising talent, but something has gone wrong. Regardless of whether he can become good enough for utd or not his regression can’t be explained with his ability - if he really was this bad he obviously wouldn’t have played much better last season. It really must be a confidence issue, perhaps coupled with strained relationships with his teammates.
I saw glimpses last year of a player, thought he would kick on this season but its not happened. However; you cannot blame team mates when they are putting the ball in the box and Hojlund is sleeping.
When the defenders or keeper plays the ball to you, and you dont hold the ball up, you dont blame your team mates.
Last season:
43 games, 16G+2A, 171 min per G/A
This season:
50 games (so far), 10G+4A, 226 min per G/A
He’s worsened in every respect, despite being more experienced
Does he start tomorrow? That gives me the fear. He offers nothing. A one-legged Zirkzee gives us more.
It looks even worse if you check just PL, 31 games and 4 goals
He will start, and he will play the full match, much to the enjoyment of the Spurs defence.
Needs a loan badly next season, or even two. If for nothing but the possibility to recoup some of what we spent on him.
Let’s just pray that somehow, some way - he has one big moment left in what we can only hope is his United swan song. Maybe Romero adjudged to have fouled him for a pen or something. Who knows, maybe even a goal.
There’s always a chance he has one of his (rare) good games and gets on the scoresheet. Would be amazing if he bagged a couple… which could put him in the shop window for a loan of sale.
I don't even care for his lack of goals.
It's how many little shots he has that's the biggest issue.
If he was found constantly taking shots during the game we could all be there waiting for his finishing to improve.
Yet he doesn't have shots, he doesn't even test the goalkeeper so that the goalkeeper makes an Onana type of mistake where they palm the ball back in to a danger zone for team mates to clock on to.
I never hate any of our players because they all deserve support but he really does stand out as a reason we look like we always play like a team of 10.
I guess Amorim doesn't have any other options & he hasn't tried players like Bruno & Garnacho who I think would be better CF's temporarily so we will most likely see Hojlund tomorrow.
Hopefully Amorim knows at half time if Hojlund has been useful in the first half or not because by that time he should be subbed if he hasn't had any impact on the game.

He is our only fit striker. He will play.
Just being a serviceable point man who doesn’t instantly lose the ball every time it reaches him would be huge for us tomorrow. Huge.
I think the plan will be to start with him and have him go all out for 60min or so before switching up to a fresh player against a tired or tiring defence. If he could give us that, I’d be happy.
If he has anything about him, he can affect the game in a big way without scoring. That suicidally high line of Spurs needs exploiting just a handful of times to potentially draw out game altering fouls - with the right run(s) he could get us anything from a red card to a couple of crucial yellows or even win a penalty just by getting on the wrong side of those CB's.
I hope he goes out there with a plan in mind and sticks to it. That plan should obviously not involve wrestling with CB's out there.
Not expecting a good game or high bar in general tomorrow, but if he, Onana and Ugarte can just do the bare minimum of their roles, we can at least go into this at 50/50.
Would be great for us if he goes to bed believing he can be the hero and match winner and tries to get his atrocious campaign out of his head.

Romero will try and bully him out of the game... and it will probably work. RH will keep falling forwards under the pressure, when he has his back to goal, and he won't win the FKs.
The run from Vardy on the weekend compared to the runs RH makes, they're two different species.
Romero is rash, and just by the likelihood of Hojlund hanging in and around the penalty box, there’s an outside hope that he pushes him over, perhaps even an incorrect decision. That’s probably the extent of a contribution we can hope for. To win a pen, an opponent needs to make contact with one of our players in the box and Hojlund is in the box, so there’s a chance.
The paltry G/A return is bad enough, but his overall game outside of that is atrocious. He cannot control the ball, hold it up and pass it to a teammate.
Weghorst couldn't score either but his link up play was on another planet compared to Rasmus. And Weghorst was considered probably United's worst striker in the modern era!
He is rash. His biggest problem seems to be that he thinks that he's an elite level CB, but he's nowhere near. Always a goal-giving mistake in him. Even RH could profit from one tonight.
Should be his last game for us no matter what happens tonight. I get the feeling Reuben is done with him and he won't feature again.
There's the magical, almost mystical, day of the final spirit that I love about United fans.
I hope that he scores a quadruple, that it gives him confidence and he finds long term success with Amorim.
It is important to aim for the stars.
Being realistic I hope he can lay the ball off accurately enough today and gets one of their players to bundle him over in the box. Maybe get a couple shots off throughout the game. He does have a nice goal against them under Ten Hag!
Hope he finds his scoring boots and gets a hattrick.
Realistically I’m happy see him manage a couple of passes and risky run or two.
if you had to choose, would you play Hojlund for 90 minutes, or Weggy for 90 minutes?

By his standards, it would be a success if he isn’t a major hindrance offensively. Just make the runs and keep it simple to get others into play.
I have a feeling that he will score in the final...
He'll score two....it is written.
We can only pray.
Last minute diving header to win it and all is forgotten Rasmus.
Please ffs.
Please ffs.
Don't see how we beat any sort of press with him starting against Romero and Van De Ven. Probably better putting another midfielder on instead of him tonight.
Lines of coke? Hookers down the docks in Bilbao?
I’m not sure what him playing at centre forward has to do with us beating a press tbh. Our midfield and defence are far more relevant here.
He just needs to remember that he has already made Van De Ven look like a mug in his time here and do it again when it matters. Considering the financial windfall from CL football it is no exageration to say that if he wins us this match he will have paid for his transfer fee. If he never plays for us again after that at least it will end on a high note and he will be a bit more fondly remembered once the horrors if this league campaign have faded in the memory.
We all know he’s utterly dog shit, but tonight lad, just pulling out of the bag and score a few. Do your ridiculous Roman emperor celebration and we will forgive you for it.
Abracadabra Go Razzmatazz
Come on my man. Everyone's been shite and he's suffered majorly in the spotlight. Let's cap off the worst season imaginable with showing something, anything. A winning goal tonight would be priceless. Given what we are spending a season without European football would be far more disastrous for us than for spurs.
Redemption arc?
A brace tonight would make him top scorer in this competition. It would perfectly summarize how different our PL and EL campaigns have been. Our striker who can barely a get a shot away in the league is top scorer in Europe! 
Tottenham 1:0 Man Utd
New
Continues to honestly be the worst striker I’ve seen play for us. I don’t even feel like I’m exaggerating at this point. He’s honestly terrible. Bench option at best next season.
Did nothing. As per.
Terminate his contract.
Useless, talentless fraud of a player.

Tbh, he actually played better than I had any hope for. Had a header cleared off the line too, which is far lore threat than he usually poses. Anyway, one can only hope that’s that for him in a United shirt.
