I think Manchester United were too hasty in signing Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta, especially as he only had 1 season there with 9 goals and 2 assists in 32 appearances in Serie A. Of course Ten Hag is aware of the talent Rasmus Højlund has as a center forward and he can be developed and become one of the best. However, the problem is, the high level of egoism of other Manchester United players has made it difficult for Rasmus Højlund to find himself in the Premier League.
Rasmus Højlund has so far scored 5 goals in 4 appearances in the Champions League with Manchester United. He hasn't scored a single goal in his 9 Premier League appearances, but if he really gets the support then I'm sure his performance this season will be very good. Just like Haaland, Rasmus Højlund just needs full support to help Manchester United get more goals.
I don't think that's actually the case, we also have to look at other aspects. Well, let's pull it back first. In fact, Ten Hag has established players and their target is Kane. Apart from that, there are several pure strikers who are linked with Manchester United. However, the problem that occurs is the fact that Manchester United has a limited budget for the players they are targeting. Ultimately, they have to bring in the players they are targeting as ideally as possible with the funds prepared by the club management.
in the previous post, I said that one of the Juventus strikers was on Ten Hag's radar. In fact, it is predicted that Osimhen will be brought to Old Trafford. Unfortunately, the FFP ban means they are limited in their movement. Plus, currently good strikers are quite difficult to find because they are already at home with their respective clubs. As for the ideal sticker, it has been priced at a fantastic transfer value. If I'm not mistaken, one of the Ajax players is also their target.
However, in the end Ten Hag chose Højlund even though he paid a high price too. It seems that Ten Hag feels that this player is quite ideal for him, apart from his young age, it seems that Ten Hag thinks that the player will have good progress in the future. However, I am very sure that the coach is fully aware that Rasmus Højlund is not a ready-to-use sticker. after all, they have Marcus Rashford. So, there was nothing wrong with Højlund being brought to Old Trafford in the end. Even so, the player has had a conversation with Ten Hag and it seems he is willing to work hard.
Too bad, well, like the last point you said, we have the same thoughts. If the striker brings full support from the United squad, he can make a good start to his debut in the Premier League.
Just imagine if he was able to score 5 out of 4 matches in the Champions League, why not in the English League. and there are no other words, Erik Ten Hag's squad is in an unpleasant situation. in other words, they have problems that must be resolved one by one. and Ten Hag was ready to start, rearranging the discipline of his players.
