“Ruben Amorim serious, because I can’t just understand why he keeps making this particular mistake every game by starting that guy”: Manchester United’s legend Rio Ferdinand names ONE Man United’s player who deserves to be sold this summer
If there is one Manchester United player who needs some luck at the moment, it is Rasmus Hojlund.
The Denmark international striker is struggling to perform at the level required at a club like United.
He is lacking confidence at the moment and one of the moments against Wolves at Old Trafford showed his poor decision making and his lack of awareness.
The attacker made beautiful run on the left-flank to open up space for himself but when he should have passed to Kobbie Mainoo who would have had a clear chance to score a goal, he failed and tried to score himself.
As expected, Hojlund failed to make anything out of it when it could have been a useful situation for United.
Jamie O’Hara has been highly critical of Hojlund on Sky Sports News, criticising the attacker for wasting a golden opportunity to create a chance for his teammate.
O’Hara said on Sky Sports News:
“Hojlund makes a massive mess of it.
“He’s driving through. Mainoo has made a great run. He’s in acres of space. It’s not even a hard pass and Mainoo would have a free shot on goal
“Hojlund takes 20 minutes to get it out of his feet and Wolves get back to make a tackle.
“That sums up his Man Utd career: not good enough, nowhere near good enough.”
Man United need to find a suitable Hojlund alternative soon
Hojlund’s poor form is one of the reasons why United are currently struggling in the Premier League.
The Red Devils lack an experienced attacker, someone who can take charge of the situation and act as a leader.
Moments later, Hojlund failed to get on the end of a dangerous low cross from Alejandro Garnacho and missed an open goal.
It would not be wrong to say that at the moment, perhaps Amorim should favour Harry Maguire in attack instead of Hojlund.
There is a reason why Hojlund has just scored one goal in his last 27 games for the club.
No wonder United are chasing Juventus attacker Dusan Vlahovic this summer.
