Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim and his backroom staffs are starting to run out of patience with Rasmus Hojlund after the Danish striker’s run without a goal stretched to 16 games.
The United forward cut a frustrated figure during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Everton and the team scored both of their goals in the thrilling comeback after he had been taken off for 17-year-old Chido Obi.
According to The Manchester Evening News, the club’s coaching staff are losing patience with the Danish international amid his longest scoring drought since his £72 million ($91m) move from Atalanta in 2023.
However, the coaches are also said to be trying to encourage the forward in training in a bid to get him firing again. Hojlund’s last goal came in the 2-1 victory at Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on December 12.
United’s travelling supporters cheered the substitution of Hojlund at Goodison Park with 20 minutes still to play. That was partly due to excitement around seeing 17-year-old Obi in action after his goal-scoring feats for the U18s although the MEN claimed that there was also a sense that the fans were showing their displeasure at Hojlund.
Hojlund will be hoping to end his long run without scoring when United meet relegation-fighting Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
