Dwight Yorke has questioned whether Rasmus Hojlund is the long-term answer for Manchester United up front, although admits he 'feels for the child' given the membership's struggles in his debut season.
Hojlund, 21, was one in every of seven new arrivals at Previous Trafford final summer, with the Pink Devils prising the sought-after ahead away from Serie A aspect Atalanta for an preliminary payment of around £64million.
The striker's hefty price ticket appeared a heavy burden as he failed to seek out the web in his first 14 appearances within the Premier League throughout a less-than-convincing opening few months in Manchester.
On Boxing Day, though, Hojlund finally broke his duck in the prime flight with a dramatic late winner in United's Three-2 victory over Aston Villa and the teenager has scored in every of his last four video games in all competitions.
But chatting with Sky Sports after Hojlund netted in Sunday's win over West Ham, Yorke – a treble winner with United in 1999 – revealed he nonetheless had question marks over the Denmark international.
'It's a must to have sure requirements of people you possibly can take a look at to attempt to study from, how you study from them by watching them in training, watching them play, being amongst them,' Yorke stated.
Now he's discovering himself here at the prime of it and no one to study from so I really feel for the child. I'm glad that he's received a couple of objectives. Is he our reply to success? I'm not so positive right now.
'He's still on that borrowed time, he nonetheless wants time, however I'm glad that he's received a few objectives. Which will settle him down.
'Another query, what are his strengths? Because I nonetheless don't know what his strengths are. Typically sufficient, once you do your due diligence about gamers and your enjoying £75m for a participant – is he quick, can he head it, can he shoot, can he dribble…?
'These are primary widespread denominators when shopping for gamers so even to today I'm unsure of his actual strengths, but he's coming right into a workforce that is struggling.
'So in case you're coming in it doesn't matter how good you're, how younger you're or how previous you're, you're going to be struggling in a staff that is struggling, that is inconsistent. I feel for the child and I feel there can be some difficult occasions ahead for him.'

Erik ten Hag has been been eager to draw a line underneath the episode, but Yorke believes it's the Dutchman's 'obligation' to resolve Rashford's regarding off-field behaviour.
'I don't condone what he's completed. I feel he got here out and apologised for that,' Yorke added.
'I really feel that Marcus Rashford is the most effective participant at Manchester United Football Club. You possibly can't have your greatest participant going off the rails like that, that doesn't happen.
'There is a purpose behind it. I feel it's the manager's obligation to seek out out what the reason being, to have that one-on-one dialog as to why his star man is doing what he's doing.
'There's more to it, there is perhaps extra to it than we know. Yes, the media speculates and he was in Belfast doing what he was doing, doing what he wasn't purported to have finished. I don't condone that for a minute, no approach.
