New tenure, new silence for Rasmus Hojlund at the forefront of the Manchester United attack. The Danish international, unable to find the net against Wolverhampton, attracts the harsh criticism of Alan Sheare, legend of the Premier League.

Again tenure against Wolverhampton (0-1) this Sunday in the Premier League, Rasmus Hojlund remained silent once again. Despite some attempts during the meeting, the Danish striker chained a sixth consecutive match without scoring under the Mancunian colors.

The former Newcastle Goleador, Alan Shearer, did not chew his words about the 22 -year -old yield – author of 8 goals and 4 assists in 45 appearances in all competitions. He described Hojlund as a “player in difficulty”, believing that the former member of the Atalanta has neither the profile nor the scope to carry the attack on the Red Devils alone. And even less to justify the 85 million euros (bonus included) spent for its transfer in August 2023.

“He undoubtedly suffers from a crisis of confidence”

“I see Hojlund as a player in difficulty. I think it was not ready, and is not ready, to lead the attack in a club like Manchester United ”, decided the Geordie.

Shearer also pointed out what he considers to be a total loss of landmarks at Hojlund: “Three goals in the Premier League, and for the moment, I see a player who does not really want to play. It may be a second too early or a second too late, and his timing is completely wrong. I think he undoubtedly suffers from a crisis of confidence. »»
