Loan moves rarely come with a grace period, and Hojlund's early numbers at Napoli underline just how difficult it can be to recalibrate a young striker mid-season. Allegri's approach has historically demanded a particular profile up front — physical, link-oriented, and press-resistant — and the statistical dip suggests Hojlund has not yet clicked into that role. For Napoli, the concern is whether this is a slow-burn adjustment or a deeper mismatch, especially with the Serie A run-in and European commitments demanding reliable goals. The situation also puts a quiet question mark over Manchester United's long-term plan for the player.
