[@thewidowmaker4037]

To play for United you have to have personality, he looks to have got that in spades. He clearly believes in his own ability, technically he looks very good, he showed he's got pace when he broke through midfield unlucky not to get the ball. He's got a very bright future ahead of him.

[@Ancient_Jake]

Eactly :-)

[@TranqulDingbat]

He'll be judged on the number of goals he scores. In the next 2-3 years, Utd need him to become a 20 goal a season striker.

[@kenzo4413]

i thought he played really well for 20mins against arsenal, he's only young and he looks incredible

[@LetMeEat-KalvinPhillips]

Didn't score did he.... 10 year old Haaland clear...

He played against a defense that already played for 70 min and Gabriel still had him under control. I'm not hating though, he still played well.

[@NoirFan84]

Honestly based on what I saw in the time he was on the pitch, he's going to prove a nightmare for defenders. Gabriel was really struggling to live with not only Hojlund's physicality yesterday but also his pace. How United didn't get a penalty late on when Gabriel practically rugby tackled him away from the ball & made no attempt to play anything other than the man I have no idea, it defies all logic. No wonder Ten Hag was incensed.

[@alexbelotti1603]

Ten Haag is a manager out of his depth. Gabriel used his body and Saliba sweeped up but it’s a good way to deflect from another loss. He might be a good striker but he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, a tall striker using his physicality.

[@kaspian6044]

a player like rasmus højlund deserve more than 25 min in a debut. he should have taken martial out after first half.. he was horrible. should have given højlund the full second half. but hey thats just my opinion. hopefully he will get more in the next game. hes awesome. i love højlund

[@Hazz1405]

He was good for the time he was on. An absolute nightmare for defenders. Only problem I see for united is Hojlund loves a cross but without Shaw only Bruno can cross. Rashfords vision and crossing is poor. He's an elite player but he's constantly looking to beat his man and shoot and never cross. Antony can't beat his man to SAVE HIS LIFE and doesn't have a right foot whatsoever. So other than Bruno and Shaw ( Shaw is injured) who will provide him quality service? It's definitely not wan bissaka

[@haadikhan9729]

How about sancho and garnacho

[@Hazz1405]

@@haadikhan9729 the problem is will they even play? Especially sancho he is their best winger for link up play but there's drama currently around him. The problem with Garnacho is that he loves to play on the left which is UNDOUBTEDLY Rashfords best position. So pushing either of them to the right will just make it awkward for them. Amad Diallo is a good crosser but he's injured right now. A healthy Bruno and shaw is Hojlund vests service which isn't good enough

The thing that really worries me about this united team is the fact that 2 games running at the emirates we concede really poor goals and lose the game in the last minutes - Our away form against the top 9 is awful and the first 2 away games this season seem to say that its going to carry on. Need a bit of bottle, Casemiro is a shell of himself, I wonder if he's always got the red cards in the back of his mind because him and Eriksen played next to each other and didn't lose for 18 games and this season the holes in that midfield is embarrassing, We make it far too easy for teams to play against us so I hope Amrabat and Casemiro play next to each other
