Monday night's 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace means he has now scored just once in his past nine appearances in all competitions. His only goal within this underwhelming run came in the 4-2 win over Sheffield United at Old Trafford a fortnight ago.
That marked his eighth Premier League goal of the season and his 14th in all competitions.
Five of those 14 goals were plundered in the Champions League prior to Christmas, at which point he was still in the hunt for his maiden league goal in United colours.
But after ending that drought against Aston Villa on Boxing Day, Hojlund enjoyed a blistering run of form in front of goal, scoring in six consecutive Premier League games, featuring seven goals.
However, he has struggled to rediscover that level of consistency since sustaining a muscle injury towards the end of February.
With just four games of United's season left, the 21-year-old, who was signed from Atalanta last summer, will be hoping to end the season as strongly as possible.
