Manchester United knew that they were buying into potential rather than proven quality when they signed Rasmus Hojlund in the summer but even so, they would have expected their £72m ($90m) striker to have scored at least a few goals four months after his arrival.
Yet after 12 appearances, the Danish hitman is still waiting to score his first Premier League goal in the famous red shirt, which hardly gives his team much confidence as they head to Anfield braced for another heavy beating.
Hojlund has had a paradoxical start to life with United. He had been on fire in the Champions League, notching five goals in his opening four games to make him top scorer alongside Erling Haaland and Alvaro Morata.
