Can Manchester United striker Rasmus Hoyleun overcome this crisis.
Ahead of the 2023-2024 season, Manchester United needed a new striker. Several players are on the list, but Manchester United's choice was Hoyleun, who showed growth potential at Atalanta. Hoylun, who has been an outstanding prospect since he was in Copenhagen, Denmark, had finished his successful first big league season with nine league goals and four assists as soon as he entered Atalanta in the 2022-2023 season.
Manchester United could have recruited Hoyleun from a long-term perspective, but the problem was the price. It invested a whopping 75 million euros (about 113.1 billion won) for a player who was rated at 45 million euros (about 67.5 billion won). It was the sixth most expensive recruitment of the Manchester United club ever.
Hoylun had not scored his debut goal in more than three months in the league in his first season, but he scored five goals in six UEFA Champions League (UCL) group matches. In the league, Masugar also scored consecutive goals after scoring a goal. His first season record was 16 goals and two assists in 43 games. It was not enough for Manchester United's main striker, but it is true that he showed potential for development.
The problem is this season. The UEFA Europa League is doing well with five goals in eight games, but it is serious enough to have only two goals in 20 league games. Excluding his Europa League performance, he has two goals and zero assists in 24 games. It is not strange to say that he is the main striker of Manchester United and considering the transfer fee of 72 million pounds (about 113 billion won), it is not strange to call him one of the worst recruitments of all time.
Criticism is also rampant in the UK. The British Telegraph reported on the 17th (Korea Standard Time) "It is an insult to Manchester United's history that Hoyleun is wearing the Manchester United number 9, once worn by Bobby Charlton. It's unfair to tell the 22-year-old that it's all Manchester United's problems, but Hoyle has become a symbol of waste, corruption and oblivion to competition. Waste of possession, lose the contest, and the linked play looks completely unfamiliar," he said, with a high level of criticism.
The media went on to say "The most annoying part is that the price of Hoyleun is £72 million. Externally, Antony is selected as Manchester United's worst recruit in the dark age, but Hoyleun is no less. I can't believe how immature the negotiations were"I raised the level.
In the end, Manchester United did not trust Hoylun, so they added Joshua Girksey before the start of this season. However, Zirkji is also not enough to become Manchester United's main striker.
Manchester United was once inherited by world-class strikers, but now Manchester United is showing off its attack power at the mid-to-low level of the league, with no one trusting Hoylun or Zirkji. Manchester United, which brought such a player at a high price, is the biggest problem, but Hoyleun cannot avoid the arrow in a sluggish situation.
