But United have been desperately short of goals during a poor start to the season, and he is yet to find the net in the Premier League. That said, aiming the blame at the 20-year-old would be severely misplaced.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of his inexperience, Hojlund was always going to arrive at Old Trafford with the weight of the world on his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>That goes without saying if you cost any club \u00a372m, never mind becoming the most expensive striker in United&#8217;s prestigious history.<\/p>\n<p>Hojlund has been the shining light of a disastrous Champions League campaign, scoring all three of his United goals in Group A defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.<\/p>\n<p>But he has drawn blank in his other seven appearances. Marcus Rashford failing to build on his career-best 2022\/23 campaign and Antony continuing to unimpress hasn&#8217;t helped matters.<\/p>\n<p>United have won just six of their opening 12 outings this season, losing the other six.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong> to join our Man Utd WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already settled on &#8216;No 1 target&#8217; to replace Erik ten Hag[REPORT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-Rasmus-Hojlund-is-yet-to-score-a-Premier-League-goal-5026688.jpg?r=1697993251139\"><\/p>\n<p>Only one has been by more than a single goal &#8211; the 3-0 Carabao Cup triumph against a rotated Crystal Palace side.<\/p>\n<p>Critics will automatically point the finger at United&#8217;s striker, but it would be difficult for any striker to regularly record goals with such limited service. Hojlund&#8217;s xG (expected goals) of 1.3 indicates his lack of chances.<\/p>\n<p>Bruno Fernandes unsurprisingly leads the way in xA (expected assists) with 0.41 per 90 minutes. Luke Shaw (0.36) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (0.30) join the United captain in leading the way.<\/p>\n<p>But Rashford, Antony, Mason Mount and Diogo Dalot are trusted with creating chances for other attacking players in Ten Hag&#8217;s team. And they simply aren&#8217;t delivering.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd go on &#8216;scouting mission&#8217; as Erik ten Hag&#8217;s side in three-way Prem battle[GOSSIP] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Sir Bobby Charlton was always a national treasure and word\u2013perfect ambassador[TRIBUTE] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Jim Ratcliffe loans &#8216;could land Man Utd with huge debt&#8217; as takeover fears raised[TAKEOVER] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-s-creative-players-aren-t-supplying-Rasmus-Hojlund-5026690.jpg?r=1697993251401\"><\/p>\n<p>Antony has an xA of 0.19 p90, Rashford 0.13, Dalot 0.08 and Mount 0.06.
