Manchester United’s attacking woes have defined their season, with the team languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

The Red Devils have lacked a consistent goal threat.

Fans have been used to seeing the team struggle to break down opponents on a consistent basis.

One player who has come under increasing scrutiny is Rasmus Hojlund.

The Danish striker has endured a torrid campaign, managing just two Premier League goals this season.

While he has often suffered from a lack of service, his own confidence has also taken a significant hit.

Therefore, leaving both fans and the United coaching staff unconvinced.

According to Daniele Longo, manager Ruben Amorim is not impressed with Hojlund’s recent form.

Amorim is assessing whether he can be the striker to lead his United side forward.

The 21-year-old is effectively on trial for the remainder of the season, with the club now considering offloading him in the summer.

Rasmus Hojlund may leave in swap deal for Victor Osimhen to join Red Devils

One possibility being explored is using Rasmus Hojlund in a swap deal for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

The report states that United could offer €40 million plus Hojlund in an attempt to secure the Nigerian striker.

Osimhen is a striker who has long been admired at Old Trafford.

Napoli previously had an interest in Hojlund, but it remains to be seen whether they still view him as a viable option.

Especially given Romelu Lukaku’s presence in their squad.

Sporting director Giovanni Manna and manager Antonio Conte are expected to have the final say on whether to entertain United’s proposal.

A top-class striker like Osimhen would improve United’s attacking options.

However, it wouldn’t automatically fix their issues in front of goal.

The club’s deeper problems in terms of fluidity, structure, and balance must be addressed first to ensure they can create consistently for any centre-forward to thrive.
