Ex-Red Devils boss delivered a scathing assessment of Hojlund in the wake of the Chelsea defeat, United's 18th in the league this season.
Keane said: "They've got no striker. Hojlund looked like he'd just come out of the academy. His runs weren't right, his timing, his hold-up play. Again, if you're a striker playing for United - even for the whole team - one shot on target?'
"We keep making excuses for him. We talk about confidence, but you still think, when you're a striker, you have to make something happen sometimes.
"What the big clubs have - and what United have always had - is strikers who can produce something for themselves, even if they're not getting great service.
"They produce something because they have quality, a bit of determination, a bit of experience, football intelligence. We don't see that with Hojlund."
