\nWhen Rasmus Hojlund was brought in for nearly \u00a370 million in the summer, there was an acceptance that Manchester United were making an all-in bet.<\/p>\n

Their first-choice striker target, Harry Kane, was out of their reach<\/a> so they invested in long-term potential instead.<\/p>\n

Still, even with that acceptance, nobody could have foreseen the trainwreck that this United team would become.<\/p>\n

Inevitably, in a dysfunctional team, Hojlund has looked even more undercooked than what was expected, although some purple patches of form have made his record on paper look acceptable.<\/p>\n

However, if recent reports are to be believed, the problems with Hojlund are much more worrying and emblematic of the culture at the club.<\/p>\n

Manchester Evening News reports<\/a> that several United players are not convinced by Hojlund’s ability and thus, are “reluctant” to pass him the ball.<\/p>\n

The Dane is going through a barren run in front of goal, with his effort against Sheffield United an oasis in a desert recently.<\/p>\n

The report states that players are seeking “alternative solutions” in the final third because of this lean spell of their striker.<\/p>\n

While Hojlund going through a lean spell is a fact, the response of his teammates to this run, if the report even has an iota of truth in it, speaks volumes of the culture and camaraderie at the club.<\/p>\n

The teammates seeking “alternative solutions” haven’t been much better, with United barely looking like scoring in many games this season.<\/p>\n

In fact, the best they looked was in the month of January, when Hojlund found his feet and started scoring with regularity.<\/p>\n

The service, or the lack of it, to the striker has been one of the biggest gripes the fanbase has had with United players.<\/p>\n

It would be completely acceptable if the team was firing on all cylinders but the striker wasn’t able to get involved, in which case there are question marks over his ability.<\/p>\n

However, it seems like United are stuck in a vicious cycle where players are not passing to Hojlund because he’s going through a lean spell, but the lean spell is happening because he isn’t getting any service.\u00a0Ultimately, the results are suffering.<\/p>\n
