€74m Hojlund Could Make or Break Ten Hag’s Man Utd Tenure

Pressure Mounts on Ten Hag as Man Utd’s Offensive Struggles Persist

Manchester United’s patience with manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly waning as the club continues to grapple with offensive inconsistencies.

Despite defensive improvements, the Red Devils have struggled to find a consistent scoring touch.

While Marcus Rashford has shown glimpses of form, the recent omission of the in-form Joshua Zirkzee from the starting lineup has raised eyebrows.

Other attacking players like Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho have also faced challenges in converting chances.

The club’s hopes now rest heavily on Rasmus Hojlund, a €74 million signing who has returned from injury. Hojlund’s ability to deliver goals will be crucial not only for justifying his price tag but also for securing Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford.

While Hojlund has shown promise, his recent cameo against Crystal Palace was less than inspiring.

However, given his limited playing time after injury, it’s unfair to judge him harshly. Nevertheless, the pressure is mounting on Hojlund to perform as Man Utd desperately seeks a clinical finisher.
