Rio Ferdinand is considered one of the toughest centre-backs in Premier League history. The United legend knows all the tricks in the book and does not understand that Rasmus Hojlund time and time again has to get into a wrestling match with the defenders. Elections that are doomed to fail, Ferdinand believes. Now we don’t know if Ruben Amorim and the coaching staff have tried to get the 22-year-old away from this, but there are reports of growing irritation over the Dane’s lack of results.
16 games without scoring. Alan Shearer and Andy Cole said it early on that the youngster Hojlund as the first striker at United was doomed to fail. Regardless of who is to blame for the Dane’s poor 12 goals in 51 Premier League games, Ruben Amorim must have goals from the striker.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Amorim and the coaching staff are losing patience with Rasmus Hojlund. Not only the goal drought, but also the consistently weak performances in the match arena. The coaching staff is said to have encouraged and coached Højlund in training all the way, but without getting the results that are expected. The English media has also directed a heavily annoyed Amorim along the sidelines when Hojlund has lost duels in the match arena.
Sorry, Hojlund, the United adventure is coming to an end.
