The 22-year-old Dutch forward began the season with promise but has since seen a sharp decline in form. Million Manhoef’s last goal came on November 6, during Stoke City’s most recent victory against Blackburn Rovers.

Since then, his performances have been underwhelming, leaving fans and the coaching staff concerned. In 20 EFL Championship appearances, he has managed just 3 goals and 3 assists, far below what is expected from a key offensive player.

Manhoef needs to rediscover his early-season form to help Stoke City climb out of their current rut.
