Manchester United’s post-season tour in Malaysia has brought more than just media attention and match minutes.
Fans expected to see signs of progress under Ruben Amorim, but instead, many questions have been raised—particularly up front.
United’s lack of cutting edge was again exposed in their friendly against the ASEAN All-Stars, where the club’s marquee striker once again underwhelmed.

Despite adding new signings like Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu in January, Amorim’s side remains light in the final third, prompting an aggressive strategy for the summer transfer window.
Chief executive Omar Berrada, alongside football negotiator Matt Hargreaves, has been heavily involved in what’s shaping up to be a striker shake-up of note.
And that may now involve a major outgoing.
Rasmus Hojlund is the man in the spotlight, with Manchester United ready to move on after a frustrating season in which the Danish striker managed just four Premier League goals.
According to fresh reports from Il Napolista, Hargreaves has flown to Naples for talks with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis and sporting director Giovanni Manna.

Napoli are considering a move for Rasmus Hojlund, who previously impressed in Serie A with Atalanta, and negotiations may involve more than just a simple transfer.
The potential deal for Hojlund to join Napoli is also likely part of a broader strategic overhaul.
United’s scouting network has reportedly been working overtime to identify a proven goal scorer who can immediately lift the club’s attacking threat.
Sources close to the club suggest that United are targeting multiple forwards this summer, signalling a clear intent to reshape their frontline completely.
With the Premier League’s increasing competitiveness, Amorim’s squad requires more firepower and clinical finishing to challenge at the highest level.
Fans are growing restless, especially given the investment in the squad and the club’s historical expectations.
Still, the very fact that such a blockbuster trade is being discussed underlines United’s determination to land an elite striker—and their willingness to cut ties with Hojlund sooner than expected.
