Rasmus Hojlund re -cut a frustrated figure during the Manchester United FA CUP clash with Fulham in Old Trafford.
Danish strikes this season have been well documented, first under Erik Ten Hag and now Ruben Amorim. With only seven goals in 34 appearances, his return has been puzzling, especially in the Premier League, where he has managed only two goals in 22 games.
Five of their goals have come to Europe League, offering little consolation, as the red devils continue to be nationally vacant, only this time in the FA CUP, where they eliminated the Fulham competition for penalties after a 1-1 tie.
“It’s my fault my Salah and Bruyne left Chelsea …” – What legend of Blues made this huge admission?
At the age of 22, Hojlund has a short confidence and remains rare around the edges technically. He would be massively benefited from playing with an experienced striker, but for Amorim, this kind of luxury is not at the table, as he only struggles to combine a competitive one that begins eleven, much less tactical retouching to support his new number.
Manchester United has great problems ahead, while Ruben Amorim becomes the youth
Chido Obi-Martin against Fulham was highlighted by Hojlund’s issues. Statmandave’s data suggested that the former Arsenal player managed to find themselves in positions where great possibilities were made.
It is a strong contrast to Hojlund’s space consciousness, with the Dane that coincides with the same amount, but does so in 22 Premier League games.
And online fans believe that this could be where Hojlund is wrong in Man United, while Obi-Martin manages to find himself in good places to receive the ball, Hojlund has not shown that he has the same quality.
Chido Obi had 3 great possibilities in 52 minutes today. For comparison, Rasmus Højlund has had 3 major possibilities in 22 Premier League games this season.

Consciousness and positioning are so key. It is constantly moving between the players on the bottom line and find gaps instead of fighting in their hands. He did much better than he thought he would. https://t.co/kjbccuciyl

Defenders have more time to manage Chido than Hojlund. Enough test to suggest -now. Chido’s game is incredibly raw, a lot of work to do with him, but at least he occupies and disrupts four.

It is obviously conditioned by him who comes out of the bench, but the amount of presence that Chido Obi has compared to Hojlund is noteworthy.
Persules Striker.

Chido’s participation here does not favor Hojlund

After the game, the journalists asked Amorim if he would consider making a change ahead of Man United.
He replied: “Anything can happen to the next games. We need to see the opposition, feel the time of the player physically, as we are playing many games. “
