Shearer said that Hojlund may not be ready to lead the team as the main striker for Manchester United. He pointed out that Hojlund has only scored three Premier League goals so far, and he doesn't seem enthusiastic about playing.
In Shearer's opinion, Hojlund is a bit slow to react on the field. He thinks that Hojlund is suffering from a lack of confidence. Shearer believes that Hojlund has been put in a difficult situation at Manchester United, where players have to be very talented to succeed.
Shearer thinks that Hojlund is not yet at a stage in his career where he should be the main striker. However, he believes that Hojlund has potential and could be a good player. The pressure to perform at Manchester United, combined with the high price tag of his transfer, is making it hard for Hojlund to succeed.
Shearer is highlighting that Hojlund is still a developing player and needs more time to grow and improve.
