Rasmus Hojlund has gone 16 games without a goal for Man United and has tallied only two Premier League goals all season.
Manchester United coaches are losing patience with striker Rasmus Hojlund amid his prolonged goal drought.
Hojlund has not scored in the last 16 games and one United coaching staff member was particularly scathing of the 22-year-old's performance in the 1-0 defeat at Tottenham eight days ago.
With United 2-0 down at Everton on Saturday, Hojlund was replaced by the 17-year-old Chido Obi, making only his second appearance for the club.
There was a loud cheer from the away end when Hojlund went off in the 70th minute and some supporters in attendance have suggested they were in response to Hojlund's removal as much as Obi's introduction. United scored twice within ten minutes of Hojlund's substitution.
The reaction was in stark contrast to the boos that greeted Hojlund's substitution on his full debut for United against Brighton in September 2023. United sources maintain staff are encouraging Hojlund during training sessions.
United head coach Ruben Amorim decisively hooked Hojlund after he lost an aerial duel in the 3-1 comeback win against Southampton last month. Amorim has not concealed his frustration with Hojlund - and other United players - on the touchline during games.
Hojlund received the number nine shirt at the start of the season but has scored seven goals, with only two coming in the Premier League. He has failed to register in 27 of the 33 United matches he has appeared in this season.
United signed Hojlund for £64million rising to £72m from Atalanta in July 2023, having initially insisted they would not pay more than £60m for the Denmark international. Hojlund switched to the SEG International agency that represents former United manager Erik ten Hag prior to the transfer.
Hojlund had a respectable first campaign, scoring 16 goals in 2023-24, but his meek performances and United's current goal difference of -7 make a move for a more prolific striker in the summer inevitable.
Since Amorim took charge in November, Hojlund has completed 90 minutes only five times and he has been substituted on ten occasions.

Weeeeeh guys!!!! don't you guys see Mctominay,Sancho and Anthony leaving man utd have become very good players now? This simply implies that the coaching staff has problems to harness the skills of players. Believe me or not, give Amorim mbappe, vinicius, rodrygo, olmo and he won't win any match because he doesn't adapt the system of play to the quality of players but forcing everyone through a straight jacket of 3-4-3.

Frankly, he’s not made to be a striker, at least, not at ManU. Same goes for the other do-called striker - Zirkzee (?) - another washed-out. Unless the Administrators bring in at least one, if not two, prolific strikers, ManU’s gonna ends up in the relegation zone. One can never win matches without scoring goals and the very sad fact is the current strikers are completely hopeless and unreliable.

How do you expect him to score when only Bruno can whip in a good cross no other player can cross the ball at United

Hojilund is a striker but he doesn't fit in a big club like man u, how ever man u is not doing well doesn't mean they are small team, this Man doesn't know his Role as a striker, if I was Amorin I would pick academy boys ahead of him, just useless.
😂😂😂 Man utd is a big club but small team

with lack of service lack of direction I think Harry kane himself could not score. Messi himself couldn't score so please don't criticise

The most hopeless striker I have never watched before, he is always behind a defender you wonder how he is playing for man united am sure onana could have tried and score more goals than that Hojlund something is silly at united cause it's such a big club to fail to identify and buy a striker

no Rasmus is fine,and he is really good strong, the problem is a 5 Defend at the same time for?to defend what? he must change that style ,if he really wants job or to be a good or best coach,

it's the team or the club as a whole, man. united walks downward so trusted individuals follow suit. cole palmer's name is no longer praised, haarland is floating somewhere, his golden boot award slipping away etc etc.. Salah is praised because Liverpool is up there. if the position of the club is stable, players will be stable. for now man. united pinpoint players on the pitch and issuing redundancy off the pitch.

How do you expect him to score goals with such awful formation Ur playing, no body is giving him the ball . He has to come down to the midfield to fight for the ball and when he gets it before he will run to the box , the Coaches are foolish for saying that let them send him to loan and see if he will not perform well .
64 mil for someone that can’t even score pass 20 goals per season. 😂

Then only man united will pay 85m for a striker who is not good lols Now who so you blame ? Hojlund that came Or Man united that bought him
Untied. Of course every team takes risk in buying young talented players. Some times it works out good and sometimes it fails. Not all investment brings good result at the end

Calm down, his starts with Atlanta wasn’t so good, ETH only saw EPL features in him because of his strength. Zirk on the other hand was just a good ball controller and was never a goal getter in Bologna, make research. Onana is actually doing well this season for United.

I have always noticed our problem is Fernandez but, he blinds us with some goals he scores, but to be honest he is not weath a creative midfielder he supposed let amad play in number 10 role you ll see how that ll be he ll be running into that midfield role, opponent number 8 and 6 ll be always in no position to get to him because he is fast and creative

every opponent knows how to tackle him. he has no idea and the idiot onana puts every ball to him. man u has become a scrap. ETH to be given the highest recipient award for "The best spoiler manager of all times" ineos "The best spoiler team of the year"

Fernandez ll always put strikers on blame list coz is the creative midfielder we have and he can pass the ball, you people analys the game, Fernandez has no vision like that of Pogba and de buryn,, he gets the ball instead of him attacking but he ll stop and start raising arms instead of running with the ball to drag 1 or 2 opponent players out of position,, observe even this small guy is good but he just plays a dipper role urgute is very good

This guy cannot do the basics of being a striker get the ball pass and move and look for spaces in the oppositions defence nothing all he does is run challenge defenders physically loose the ball and fall to the ground looking for free kicks useless striker he should go back to Italy where he came from
