‘he’s the major problem’ – Rasmus Hojlund reveals the player that has caused man Utd set-back this season

In a season largely devoid of positives for Manchester United, the emergence of Rasmus Hojlund has been a beacon of hope.

The 20-year-old Danish forward appears to be settling comfortably in Manchester and has shown promise as a leading figure in the club’s attack.

Hojlund’s goal-scoring prowess has been a welcome development for Manchester United, and his partnership with fellow star forward Marcus Rashford is beginning to flourish.

Rashford made his debut for the club against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, and since then, a dynamic connection has been forming between the two.

While there has been some criticism of Rashford’s performances this season, particularly concerning his reluctance to pass to Hojlund on occasion, the dynamics have now taken a 180-degree turn.

Hojlund’s recent goal is a testament to the quality and precision of Rashford’s playmaking abilities. The Dane found the back of the net effortlessly thanks to Rashford’s superbly executed cross.

Hojlund’s willingness and positioning in the box made the opportunity look easy, a task that has proved challenging for another United striker, Anthony Martial, over the years.

Hojlund spoke about his budding partnership with Rashford and the understanding they are developing in an interview with MUTV after the game.

He emphasized Rashford’s awareness of his presence and readiness to receive the ball, which was evident in their recent performance.

On the flip side, Rashford has encountered difficulties this season, struggling to find the back of the net with just one goal to his name so far.

Despite earlier criticism for not setting up Hojlund enough, Rashford now seems overly eager to assist his teammates and assume a playmaking role in the team.

During the second half of a recent match, Rashford, presented with a clear opportunity to shoot, opted to pass to Bruno Fernandes instead. Unfortunately, the Galatasaray defense managed to recover, resulting in a missed chance.

Rashford’s dip in form is just one example of the broader issues plaguing the club. Several players who performed brilliantly last season now appear to be shadows of their former selves, highlighting the challenges facing Manchester United in the current campaign.
