“He lacks football intelligence”—United Legend Demands Striker Overhaul Ahead of Summer Shake-Up
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has unleashed a brutal verdict on Rasmus Højlund following United’s 1-0 loss to Chelsea, where the Danish striker failed to register a single shot on target. Keane didn’t hold back, declaring that Højlund “isn’t showing the quality Manchester United need” and questioning the 21-year-old’s football IQ.
Højlund, signed for £72 million from Atalanta, has been under scrutiny for his inconsistent Premier League displays despite some flashes in Europe. The lack of movement, poor positioning, and inability to convert chances have alarmed critics and fans alike.
Insiders at United are reportedly weighing options to bring in a new striker this summer, with names like Dusan Vlahovic already surfacing as potential reinforcements. The pressure is now immense on Højlund to deliver in the Europa League final against Tottenham, which could be a defining moment for his future at Old Trafford.
Keane’s comments echo a growing sentiment: United need firepower—and fast. The summer window could see a major overhaul if performances like this
persist.
