"You're looking at McTominay and Hojlund doing really well for Napoli, getting great new leases of life and performing well together. United would have killed for that sort of duo right now. If they hadn't been at United before, United would be looking to buy them right now. So yes, it's another symptom of things that aren't going right."
"There's a lot of cast-offs from United that will turn out to be very good players. They weren't silly to have bought them, but they were silly to have bought them, given the systems they were going to play them in. So that's the issue for United. Hojlund is another example of a quality player who did not get given the right chances or they didn't persevere with him long enough at United to let him prove himself."
Manchester United have attracted fresh criticism over transfer choices after Rasmus Hojlund excelled following his exit. Hojlund moved to Napoli on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy and has scored four goals in six appearances for the Serie A champions. Several former United players have found renewed form after leaving, prompting claims the club failed to give some young players sufficient chances or to persist with them. Ruben Amorim strengthened his squad with Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens, while attention has largely focused on outgoing players. Benjamin Sesko has struggled since his move from RB Leipzig.
