Rasmus Hojlund struggled in Man Utd's victory against Fulham and was replaced in the second half of the match.
Hojlund scored seven goals in six Premier League games and fired United to an unbeaten start to 2024. He was one of the most in-form strikers in the topflight and begun to look like the goalscorer the club hoped they were signing when they agreed a hefty £72million deal with Atalanta.
Ruben Amorim recalled Hojlund to the starting line-up against Fulham and the young striker's woes continued, as he looked lost at Craven Cottage and managed 17 touches of the ball. Amorim was asked about Hojlund at his post-match press conference on Sunday and told reporters: "He works really hard and you can see sometimes without training there is a disconnection.
Amorim is a savvy communicator and provided valuable insight into Hojlund's form by highlighting his failure to 'connect' with his teammates. It's undoubtedly an area that Hojlund must improve and he won't become a top striker in the next few years without developing his hold-up play. Nobody wants to keep harping back to that transfer window, but not signing a proven goalscorer alongside a young Hojlund was asking for trouble and United continue to pay the price.
