Amorim: Hojlund Needs to Watch Videos to Learn How to Score
Rubén Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, criticized Rasmus Hojlund’s performance in attack after the defeat against Wolverhampton.
According to reports, in a match where the only goal came from a late strike by Pablo Sarabia, Manchester United not only failed to secure points but also suffered their 15th league defeat of the season.
The poor performance of Rasmus Hojlund, the £72 million striker, was one of the main reasons for fan dissatisfaction. Many supporters are now calling for his departure in the summer.
Hojlund once again delivered a disappointing display—slow movements, lack of creativity, and poor finishing made his presence on the pitch almost ineffective. Amorim openly expressed regret over his team’s attacking inefficiency after the match, stating: “United’s problem is clear. We conceded from the opponent’s only shot on target and lost the game. This season will have its ups and downs for us, and now we just have to wait for it to end.”
However, Amorim praised the performances of two young academy players, Tyler Fredrickson and Harry Amass, saying: “I think they did well. But we need to score goals so these youngsters can have good memories of their games. Days like these are disappointing. We were better than the opponent, but if you don’t score, you don’t win.”
Hojlund’s statistics are alarming—he has scored just once in his last 28 appearances. Even considering limited opportunities, his poor positioning and reactions inside the box have become a major concern.
Amorim directly addressed the Danish striker in the post-match press conference, saying: “The only way I know is to work with him; we have to show him videos. He needs to score just one goal. Maybe that one goal will be enough. But he won’t score if he’s not on the pitch. I’ll try to manage him during games, but he also has to find his own way.”
