Overview

• Peter Schmeichel told the BBC’s Sacked in the Morning podcast that Rasmus Hojlund would be a 25-goal striker with proper service and that United erred by letting him leave.
• On loan at Napoli with a clause to make the move permanent, Hojlund has scored four goals in six matches under Antonio Conte.
• Schmeichel also highlighted Scott McTominay’s resurgence in Italy after United sold him, noting his 13-goal, six-assist debut season and subsequent acclaim.
• He questioned spending roughly £70m on Benjamin Sesko while United failed to secure a top defensive midfielder or an experienced goalkeeper, citing nine goals conceded from goalkeeping errors this season.
• The former keeper criticised a multi-headed recruitment setup — naming Christopher Vivell, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox — as driving decisions, though some analysts counter that Hojlund’s long droughts justified signing Sesko, who has begun scoring for United.
