You see it in the whole player. Insistent, gives everything, MUST succeed. Unfortunately, it’s not the effort that counts, it’s the performances. And for a first striker at Manchester United, it’s about the most important task the club has paid around £64 million for, scoring goals. Damn!

Ruben Amorim had decided not to rest players for the Europa League final next week, the Portuguese knows he should not go into the next Premier League season without an approved result against Chelsea or Aston Villa in the last two games. The previous win in the league for United was on March 16 against Leicester. Chelsea gave United on Friday no opening to a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

After another goalless Premier League game, the focus was again on first striker Rasmus Hojlund’s inability to score in the world’s toughest league. The Dane is heavily linked with an exit at Old Trafford this summer, but Ruben Amorim’s post-game comment opens up the possibility that Hojlund could still wear the United shirt next season.

“The whole team has to improve, but the way he runs, he fights for every ball, he loses a lot of duels, but wins some. He needs to get better in his “relationships”, but he is on his way, so I am very happy for him. He just has to keep working hard, and better days will come,” Amorim told the club’s website.

Not sure the supporters agree. They have been waiting for better days from Højlund – for a long time.
