Rasmus Hojlund continued to go without a goal in the Premier League during Saturday’s match against Luton Town at Old Trafford. He had a fantastic opportunity from close range to put an end to his goalless streak, but he sent it wide.
Rasmus Hojlund, a striker for Manchester United, allowed the pressure to get to him during his search for a goal in the Premier League. As a result, he squandered an easy opportunity to score against Luton.
Despite the fact that he has not yet scored a goal in the league since his arrival from Atalanta, the Danish forward was selected to start for the match against the Hatters. When he was presented with a prominent opportunity, it appeared as though he would start his Premier League career off on the right foot.
Hojlund was able to finish off a terrific cross that was sent by Marcus Rashford on the right side, but it appeared that he got his feet tangled up in the process. He tried to finish the play with a knee from just a few yards out, but all he did was push the ball toward the goalkeeper for Luton, Thomas Kaminski, who made a good save and allowed Luton to win the game.The miss infuriated Red Devils supporters who were watching the game. One of Hojlund’s supporters posted on Twitter, “HORRIFIC miss from Hojlund has to score!” One more supporter did not feel really satisfied. The authors stated: “No way we’re seeing Hojlund carrying Weghorst’s curse of not having a goal in PL.”
Hojlund and his mistress continued to get criticism for their actions. An further supporter expressed their perplexity by stating, “I don’t understand how Hojlund missed that chance from Rashford.”
The inexplicable miss that Hojlund had against Luton stands in stark contrast to the form that he has been able to discover for himself in the Champions League. The striker, who cost £72 million, already has five goals to his name in European competition after just four matches; two of those goals came in the midweek loss to Copenhagen, which was 4-3.
Another supporter was quick to point out this particular aspect of the game. They responded with “Can Hojlund just pretend he is playing in the UCL?”
Before their encounter against Luton, Erik ten Hag’s squad had only one victory in their previous four Premier League matches at Old Trafford. That victory came against Luton. In their most recent league match played on their own turf, they were defeated by arch adversaries Manchester City by a score of 3-0.
After the loss that occurred in Ten Hag’s native nation in the middle of the week, Hojlund voiced his support for the manager in a public statement. He made the following comment: “A really terrific coach. He is really helpful to me, instills a lot of confidence in me, and provides me a lot of support. He is very particular about each and every aspect.I have no doubt that each and every player in the locker room backs him. I really do believe that it is only a question of time before United achieves their goals. The first half an hour of today’s game was some of the most impressive football that we have played all year.
After their match against Luton, Manchester United will have a break of two weeks before their next set of international matches to prepare for. Their next task pits them against Everton, one of their rival teams.
