Why can't MU call Hojlund back?

Hojlund is currently on loan at Napoli.

The 2-2 draw with Tottenham in the 11th round of the Premier League on November 8 not only caused MU to lose the victory but also lost a striker. Benjamin Sesko entered the field in the 58th minute, but only played for half an hour. He was tackled by Micky van de Ven when he ran down to face the goal. Sesko lay on the ground, holding his knee and left the field immediately after being treated.

Coach Ruben Amorim said shortly after the match: “He has a problem with his knee. We have to check it further.” His voice was calm, but his face was tense. He understood that Sesko could be out for a long time.

The problem is that MU has no one else trustworthy enough to replace him. Matheus Cunha is the starter, but he is more of a drop-back and a playmaker, not a striker who can finish. Joshua Zirkzee has not yet integrated, and Rasmus Hojlund, the name that should give Amorim peace of mind, is playing for Napoli.

Hojlund is still on the books of United, but cannot be recalled. His loan deal has a buyout clause, which would become mandatory if Napoli qualify for the Champions League. According to expert Fabrizio Romano, both sides see the clause as “almost certain to happen”.

That means, MU has no right to recall Hojlund in January. Even with a personnel crisis, Amorim still cannot reach his familiar option.

At Napoli, Hojlund is making his mark. He has 4 goals in 9 games, is in good form and is loved by the fans. United can do nothing but wait. If Sesko is out for a long time, they will have to spend money to buy another striker in the winter transfer window.

With Sesko injured and Hojlund remaining in Italy, Amorim faces a difficult choice: trust Zirkzee, a player who has played just over 80 minutes in the Premier League, or rush into the transfer market.

A team that once prided itself on depth now lacks goalscoring options. It shows that United are not only unlucky, but also lacking the backup plan that every true champion must have.
