Although the present isn’t quite so brilliant at Manchester United, the future certainly looks extremely bright.
The star leading the rebuild will most definitely be Kobbie Mainoo, who’s been absolutely fantastic since breaking into the first team.
The 18-year-old has now started 18 Premier League games this season after making his debut against Everton in November, and has even made his England debut.
However, there’s a young talent in the United academy who has the potential to be the best talent since Mainoo, while also potentially ending up being a successor to Rasmus Hojlund.
Rasmus Hojlund’s first campaign at United in numbers
With the pressure of a £72m price tag on his shoulders and the demand to instantly succeed, Hojlund initially struggled to adapt to the Premier League.
Fast forward to today, and the Dane has seven goals and two assists in the English top flight, but his output has dried up in recent weeks.
The 21-year-old now hasn’t scored in all of United’s last four Premier League games, but he spends most of his time on the field chasing shadows and receiving no service whatsoever.
Had there been a replacement in the squad for Hojlund, he may have been rotated, but there’s no doubt that he has the potential to lead the line for years to come, and he may have some competition via an academy player extremely soon.
Man Utd were rinsed by flop who earned more than Hojlund & Fernandes
The exceptionally gifted star drained the Red Devils and offered very little in return.
