Yeah, exactly this. To do the job properly you’d need to look at every player who has had a similar start to their career as Hojlund and see how many went on to be good enough to play upfront for Manchester United.
Not quite the same position but the first one that came to mind for me was an 18 year old we had with 10 GA in 1900 minutes from the wing in 13/14. Everyone thought he would be special. The next season he had zero GA and we ended up selling him for less than £10m. Making a great start for one of the worlds biggest clubs in the toughest league in the world is no guarantee of future success, let alone making a decent start for a mid-table team in a slightly weaker league.
