Even when the attention was going on the young striker Rasmus Hojlund who has been having a hard time in his debut season at Old Trafford, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag insists that he is behind the Danish striker.
Even though he has been criticized for scoring only one goal in his last ten matches, Hagemann, who was bought for £64 million from Atalanta in August, is still able to get the support of ten Hag. The manager points out Hojlund’s excellent performance of 14 goals in 40 appearances this season, and he emphasizes the fact that the player is young and the need for patience in his career is vital.
Although it is known that Rasmus Hojlund is the potential boss of the football club, he had also several times he got injuries on his legs. Ten years are almost equal to a generation. Based on that, ten Hag emphasizes on the importance of the young striker’s development because he will be the future one as well.
He was not able to keep United from early withdrawal from the group stage because of his contributions, specially in the Champions League where he scored five goals. Nevertheless, his comeback to the top earlier in the season with seven goals in six games was impeded by the muscle injury he got, and the impact of this on his momentum was felt.
Ten Hag is convinced that Hojlund will soon be able to perform at a high level again, which is exactly what this reporter thinks. The statement is made by the ten Hag who is stressing on the importance of winning the match against Newcastle in front on Old Trafford as the season is starting to be hard because of the injuries and the teams are not able to perform consistently and this can make the United teams not qualify for the European competition.
