Manchester United's new head coach Ruben Amorim has declined to offer any assurances about Rasmus Hojlund's future at the club, leaving the Danish striker's position in doubt ahead of the new season.
The 21-year-old forward, who joined United last summer in a high-profile transfer, has struggled to consistently deliver under previous manager Erik ten Hag. Now, with Amorim taking charge, questions loom over whether Hojlund fits into the Portuguese tactician's plans.
Amorim's Non-Committal Stance
When pressed about Hojlund's role in his squad, Amorim remained evasive: "Every player will have to prove themselves. We're evaluating all options and no decisions have been made about anyone's position."
This ambiguous response has fueled speculation that United might be open to offers for the young striker, despite his potential and the significant investment made to bring him to Old Trafford.
Hojlund's Mixed First Season
The Danish international showed flashes of brilliance during his debut Premier League campaign, scoring 14 goals across all competitions. However, his inconsistency and occasional struggles with physical defenders raised questions about his readiness for regular starting duties.
Football analysts suggest Amorim's system might require different attributes from his center forwards, potentially putting Hojlund's style of play under scrutiny.
What Next for United's Attack?
With the transfer window still open, United could:
- Keep Hojlund as part of a rotated strike force
- Loan him out for regular first-team football
- Consider permanent offers if the right bid emerges
The coming weeks will be crucial for Hojlund as he tries to impress his new manager during pre-season training. United fans will be watching closely to see if their young striker can secure his place in Amorim's revolution.
