Manchester United fans on X have criticized Rasmus Hojlund after he failed to be clinical in front of goal during their 2-0 loss against West Ham United. The two sides locked horns in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday, May 11.
Manchester United looked lively in the opening minutes but found themselves trailing in the 26th minute following Tomas Soucek’s smart finish. West Ham then took full advantage of Manuel Ugarte losing possession in the 57th minute, with Jarrod Bowen tapping home to seal all three points for the visitors.
Rasmus Hojlund was entrusted to lead the line for his side, playing all 90 minutes. However, he struggled to make an impact, completing nine passes from an attempted 15 (60 percent accuracy). The 22-year-old also created zero chances, landed two shots on target from an attempted six (33 percent accuracy), missing two big chances in the process.
Moreover, Hojlund failed to complete any of his two attempted dribbles and recorded zero crosses. He also lost 10 duels – the most by any player during the match and has netted just four goals in 31 Premier League appearances this season.

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has claimed he never lost self-belief despite his poor run of form this season. However, he admitted he felt down and frustrated, stating he had to go back to basics in an attempt to improve.
Hojlund has failed to look convincing in front of goal this season, garnering 10 goals and four assists in 50 appearances across all competitions. He stated (via The Mirror h/t GOAL):
He added:
While Manchester United recently qualified for the UEFA Europa League final, they have been extremely poor in the Premier League. Following the West Ham loss, the Red Devils are currently 16th in the table with 39 points from 36 games and have lost four of their last five PL games.

His favorite player is Steven Gerrard, who was also one of the primary reasons to get interested in football and support Liverpool.
Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Jurgen Klopp, who transformed the Reds from a mid-table club to Premier League champions. Liverpool’s fourth goal in their 4-0 win over Barcelona, scored by Divock Origi after the iconic ‘corner taken quickly’ moment from Trent Alexander-Arnold, holds a special place in Silas’ heart.
