It seems that striker Rasmus Hojlund is completely isolated in the Manchester United attack.
On the evening of May 12, Man Utd lost 0-1 to Arsenal. All statistics show that the Red Devils have reached the bottom of their form.
There is a high possibility that Coach Erik ten Hag and his team will experience the worst season in the club’s history since the Premier League was born.
Losing to Arsenal, Man Utd stood still in 8th place on the Premier League rankings with a difference of -4 (scoring 52 goals, conceding 56 times) and 3 points behind the team ranked right above Chelsea. If Man Utd ends the season lower than 7th, it will be the worst performance in the Premier League era.
One of the big reasons why Man Utd failed was that the attackers seemed unable to score. The proof is that they launched 14 shots but were completely harmless towards goalkeeper David Raya.
There, Rasmus Hojlund is said to be isolated. Manchester Evening News reported that some Man Utd players were not convinced by Hojlund’s ability and therefore, they were “reluctant” to pass the ball to this player.
The report says that the players are looking for “alternative solutions” in the final third because of Hojlund’s continued failure.
Although Hojlund is going through a difficult time, the reaction of his teammates, if true, clearly says a lot about the culture and lack of connection between Man Utd players with each other.
When you can’t trust your teammates, the remaining Man Utd players certainly cannot look in the same direction.
In the FA Cup semi-finals this season, after scoring the decisive penalty, Hojlund celebrated alone without any teammates running back.
If this situation continues, it will be difficult for Hojlund to shine in the Man Utd shirt.
