Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has defended striker Rasmus Hojlund. Who has been branded the new Old Trafford ‘scumbag’. Suggesting his lack of goal-scoring is down to a lack of support from the team.

The 21-year-old has struggled for form with just two Premier League goals in 16 appearances. While his other five goals and one assist have come in the Europa League. สมัคร UFABET

This led to criticism that the jersey number #9 was a disgrace. 

Of course, the Portuguese coach was furious. When he heard that and scolded those who criticized him, telling them not to focus on finding fault with any one player. But to look at the whole team and take responsibility together. 

“I think it’s a team problem,” Amorim said ahead of the game against Brighton (19 Jan).

“You see it, it’s not just happening now, it’s happened before. So obviously we lack the number of goals and the threat.” 

“Whenever you push your opponent, sometimes they can’t press you as high.”

“Everything is connected.”

“Every player will have their own moments this season.”

“I think when we started our journey together. Rasmus was the player who was always going to score goals.”

“So he could come back as an option in the next match. We’ll see. But I believe it’s more of a team problem than a Rasmus problem.”
