Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has been ruthless in his assessment of Rasmus Hojlund’s time with Manchester United.
The 22-year-old Danish striker has had a tough time since completing his move to the club from Serie A Atalanta ahead of the 2023/24 season. To date, he’s found the back of the net just 24 times for the club, and has particularly struggled this campaign, where he’s scored just three times in the league.
His struggles this season has lead to Shearer branding him a “damaged player”.
“I’m looking at a damaged player in Hojlund,” Shearer said on the BBC’s Match of the Day. “He wasn’t ready, and he still isn’t ready, to lead the line at a club the size of Manchester United. Three Premier League goals so far – right now, he looks like someone who lacks the desire or confidence to get into the right areas.”
