The thing about him, and why I wanted him to succeed, is that he's a die hard United fan and has been since childhood. I actually have little doubt he'd want to stay here if given the opportunity and dog it out. But I feel like it will be the clubs choice in the end regardless.

He's going to become a really good player and we are going to look stupid if we sell him for peanuts. He's just been crushed by the pressure at the worst utd in living memory and in England in general at a young age and he won't be the last. A better run club would in hindsight have paid less and put less pressure on him. He's clearly still a few seasons away from being a regular PL starter. I'd get him out on loan to an easy league and let him find his feet again and reevaluate at the end of next season. Inter want him for a reason. He's potentially really good and available at a knock down price and not huge wages
Going to become a really good player, where exactly? cause it certainly won't be in England.
I’d favour a loan. He’s too young to lock in a loss on him. He was better at Atlanta and better last season than this, no need to sell when his stock is so low.
A loan works out well with Serie A too. They love a loan. If he does well, we can sell or keep. If he doesn’t, well it is hardly going to ever be worse than this season, so the risk of that is minimal.

Im quite confident that you are better than him, and did more in your one PL appearance
I like the kid too. Its just, as in the case of Amorim who I also like as a person, performance matters.
I’m just going to ask - can you explain what you’re seeing in Rasmus that makes you think he’s going to become a really good player? Because I think he’s been awful this season and I don’t think he was anything special last season. He has no ball control. So he can’t hold the ball up. He consistently and constantly makes the wrong runs if he even bothers to make a run. His timing and goal instincts are therefore very questionable. We cannot play a long ball to him - he either doesn’t contest headers or just doesn’t win them. He also doesn’t seem to be an aerial threat in general. I honestly don’t see it and I really need to know if I’m missing something. We paid a lot of money for him. At this same age Harry Kane was scoring over 20 league goals and winning young player of the year. Rasmus has 4 league goals.
He is as much to blame as Onana for our lack of success this season because we aren’t scoring goals. That is his job. To score or facilitate others to score. He cannot do this job and I have seen nothing to convince me he will be able to, at least not at this level.
Would run his contract down from 3 to 2 years which might impact our ability to get a good fee if we later choose to sell.
But if loan is as good as it gets (and we have an alt sorted… not Obi), probably for the best.
I'm sure he'll do much better back in Italy, a loan might help us extract more value longer term. It was always going to be difficult for him to live up to expectations here as the main striker at his age but the pressure has really eaten him up. Any flashes of ability he's shown here have completely evaporated over the majority of this season
I can't see the links, is it based on fab saying he has interest from Italy?
I do like Delap, but I don’t think him alone would be the answer. We need a serious striker. If we can’t get one of them because of money/europe, I think we could think about a experienced player like Schick.

He said inter is considering him as an option for the summer.
Loan with obligation to buy of €35m.
Inter please save us
would be great for him if we can make this happen
his career is gonna be ruined if he hangs around here for a few seasons

Please no loan rubbish, just get rid.
Loan could work in the right circumstances. From a PSR perspective a player on loan remains an asset on our books so loans are not the worst idea from an accounting standpoint. Rasmus specifically is one of our lower earners so we should not be asked to cover any of his salary and can quite realistically expect to get a loan fee which will also help financially. He still would have 2 years left next summer and if he spends a season in Serie A with Juve for arguments sake and gets to double figures and plays in the CL then he is almost certainly going to be worth a fee of at least 30M next summer which would actually represent a nice profit on his book value by that stage. We can even dream that he does a Tammy Abrahams and has a season where he scores 25+ and we actually get a genuinely big offer next summer once everyone has convinced themselves that it was United and not Ramus that was the problem all along.
Why are we caring what’s great for him?? It would be great for us to get rid!
Loan him out to a club that suits him where he'll get game time. No option/obligation. Shop window.
I care but I don't speak for the rest of the forum, or you
Loan/sell, whatever. I just don't want him anywhere near the starting 11 come next season.
I’ll say it, i’ll bet he smashes it at his next club.
He needs to go for everyone's sake. Never seen such a large turd.
He will leave as a legend. Worst transfer in history of Man Utd. That is some achievement

Not close to being as bad as Sancho.
Antony, Sancho, Onana, and Ugarte have shown less than Hojlund in a United shirt and that's just the players still on our books at fees over 50 mil.
If he does roughly the same as he did here in his first season but for a successful side it'll be considered a transformation. A transformation we held back. This seems to be the rule when it comes to United.
Inter always save us, great club.
Good the sell on will come in handy then
He's shown zero in a United shirt and that's all that matters.
One goal every 3.4 games for Atlanta. He had one (brief) good run of form, but he isn’t and was never close to be being worth anything like what ETH paid for him.
In fact, across his whole career he’s average one goal every 3.4 games. That’s his level. And maybe it’s good enough if Italian sides are still play two up front, but otherwise it’s a recipe for disaster.
The record for games without a goal? I agree.
Nah. Hoilund is worse than the lot of them. He's anonymous 99% of the time. His touches rarely break into double digits. I've never seen a more pointless player. He's a fecking coward too. It'd take an Ali Dia type of signing to dethrone Hoilund as our worst signing
He was 19 and had played half a season in Austria when he signed for Atalanta, he did just fine for them in his sole season and had he remained there would probably have developed nicely under the radar. He was mostly used as a sub that season and was seen very much as one for the future but regrettably he scored that hat trick for Denmark and the football world lost its collective minds because everyone was terrified of missing out on the next Haaland.
Moving to his 4th professional club at the age of 20 and being asked to shoulder sole responsibility for leading the attack for a club like Manchester United was madness, cannot blame him as he is a United fan so of course he would never say no but the people behind the transfer were criminally irresponsible. I hope for his and our sake that he can sort out a decent move to a Serie A side and things click for him there, clearly the next Haaland thing was an illusion but if he can get the right guidance he can be a solid player there and we can get some sort of return for him.
Tell us how you really feel. No way is he worse than Sancho, a player who cost more, is paid more than 3 times as much and has delivered nothing in 4 years at the club despite managers bending over backwards to accommodate him and then had the gall to disrespect the club and those managers repeatedly on social media. Hojlund has scored 26 goals for us, nothing amazing and way below what we were looking for but it is not nothing and he has never gone crying to the media even when some utter low lifes were making physical threats against him on social media.
Sometimes it just doesn't work for a player at a club, Diego Forlan had a worse goals per game record than Rasmus here, despite playing in a much better team. He went off and had a very good career in Spain and Italy.
I still think there's a good player in Hojlund, the fact that clubs like Inter are after him reinforces that. In a less frantic season, with him as a clear number 2 behind a first choice striker, he might do better here, that or a loan to Germany / Holland etc.

Clubs look at our players now knowing 100 % that they will be able to improve them.
Inter at it again. Thank you Inter
