Rasmus Hojlund could make his Man Utd debut before the September international break and Erik ten Hag needs him to hit the ground running.
You could look at the stats from Manchester United games so far this season and see either positives or negatives, reasons for hope or reasons for concern. Erik ten Hag will be taking a balanced approach, but that's also what he needs to find on the pitch.
If they continued to make chances worthy of scoring twice a game then the goals should come, but should is no guarantee. They haven't come so far, aside from a header from a centre-back, when Raphael Varane proved decisive against Wolves. There is no doubt that is what this deal is, at least for now. United sources have admitted the 20-year-old is a 'rough diamond' but he is going to be polished on the biggest stage. He will lead the line for one of the world's most talked-about clubs in the world's most-watched league. Blunting those rough edges will only buy him so much time when he slots into a side desperate for a goalscorer.
There will also be pressure on Hojlund unlike anything he's ever experienced at FC Copenhagen, Sturm Graz or Atalanta. Not only is he a young striker taking one of the most sought-after positions in football, but he will do so when his team are reliant on him succeeding. Now, he is heading for the exit door. Hojlund and Martial are the only strikers at the club, with Rashford another option. Martial's fitness is becoming a long-term problem and Rashford is better off on the left.
