Sesko hit the 10-goal mark last night when scoring Unitedās second in a 2-1 win over Brentford, though Hojlund did also achieve the feat in his maiden campaign, scoring 10 goals exactly in 30 matches.
Yet, Owen is of the belief that the Denmark international didnāt get the chance to be judged fairly during his time with United.
Hojlundās complete record in all competitions for United
He told Premier League Productions (via the Metro) on Monday night: āI donāt care who you play up front, itās very hard to judge when the team arenāt functioning.
āStrikers are the end of the chain. If the chain is broken, itās pointless in many ways. I would love to see Hojlund and see what he can do now.ā
āHe played in a Manchester United team that was broken and didnāt have any links and played poorly. Whoās to say heās not really good? Heās doing really well in Italy now,ā the Ballon dāOr winner continued.
āSesko is the same. It was hard to judge, but now that the chain throughout the team is actually working, you are seeing a different type of player.
āI just wonder how much wastage there has been for many years. Everyone says the purchases have been poor, and that might be the case, but sometimes they might not get a fair crack of the whip because they donāt get the service.ā
