Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund Responds to Criticism: 'I'm Upset, Mate!'
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund addresses recent criticisms regarding his performance, defending his commitment and urging informed opinions.
Rasmus Hojlund, the Danish striker for Manchester United, has recently come under scrutiny for his performance since joining the club. Despite netting 23 goals in 64 appearances, with 16 in his initial matches, his Premier League tally stands at just two goals in 13 games this season. This has led some fans to question the €90 million transfer fee from Atalanta.
Criticism peaked when an Instagram user alleged that Hojlund's move to United was due to connections with agent Erik ten Hag rather than his footballing prowess, even suggesting legal action against ten Hag for the signing. In a direct response, Hojlund messaged the fan: 'Hi, I find your post a bit annoying, mate. You have the right to your opinion, but stop talking about things you know nothing about. That's all.'
This candid reply highlights Hojlund's frustration with unfounded critiques and his dedication to proving his worth at Old Trafford. As United currently sits 14th in the league, the pressure is mounting on players like Hojlund to elevate their performance and help the team climb the standings.
