ERIK TEN HAG is facing a genuine striker crisis at Manchester United.
And he will have to fix it in this month's transfer window if United's season isn't going to disintegrate altogether.
Because it is clear that, for the time being at least, Rasmus Hojlund is not the answer to United's embarrassing problems in front of goal.
The Danish striker has endured a miserable start to life at Old Trafford.
Six goals in 24 appearances, including just one in the Premier League, indicate someone who, at the age of 20, is finding the demands and attention that come with being at United overwhelming.
He should have had a hat-trick in the FA Cup win at Wigan.
But come the final whistle, all he got for his troubles was an ear-bashing from United legend Roy Keane.
