Shearer thinks Hojlund may not be ready to lead the team as a striker for Manchester United. Hojlund has scored only three Premier League goals so far, and Shearer is not seeing the player he expects. He believes Hojlund is hesitant to participate in the game.
Shearer thinks Hojlund's timing is off, often arriving a fraction of a second too early or too late. This has led to a crisis of confidence, according to Shearer.
Shearer believes Hojlund is under too much pressure at Manchester United. He thinks the club's expectations are too high for Hojlund's current level of skill. Hojlund is still developing as a player and is not yet ready to lead the team as a striker.
Shearer acknowledges that Hojlund has potential as a good player, but he needs more time to develop. The pressure of performing at Manchester United, combined with the high price tag of his transfer, is affecting Hojlund's confidence.
