Following Manchester United’s 2-0 loss to West Ham United, Rasmus Hojlund is still waiting for his first Premier League goal.

He got worse during the game against West Ham. Although Hojlund was undoubtedly having difficulties, the truth was that people in his immediate vicinity were unable to assist him.

While Man Utd’s centre-forward options have been criticized, the role of the wingers also needs to be scrutinized.

According to statistics, against West Ham, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho combined to only create a total of 1 pass for Hojlund throughout the match. The young Danish star was replaced early and had no chance to find his first goal.

Man United’s wingers always like to break through from the wing and launch shots at goal. Instead, Hojlund would be better served if Erik ten Hag deployed Facundo Pellistri, their only winger who likes to make crosses into the box.

Hojlund may not have achieved the form Man Utd expected, but he also did not receive enthusiastic help from those around him.

Hojlund didn’t really get any service in the box, and couldn’t really win that many duels against defenders either.

Finally, Erik ten Hag had to take him out before the hour-mark and replace him with Marcus Rashford.

A lot of Man United fans are sympathetic for Hojlund after seeing him not get any service in key areas again.

The first person said: “Play Hojlund, create no chances for Hojlund, take Hojlund off. Poor fella. Antony, McTominay, Garnacho…create nothing for him, ever.”

Another one: “Rashford has been the only player to constantly create for Hojlund but we don’t play them together on the pitch anymore.”

The third fans continued: “Hojlund off……Zero service again. Not one shot. And it’s him who goes off. Really struggling to see what the plan is with United these days? Seems to be hit and hope and hope for a mistake by the opposition.”

A fan expressed: “I feel so sorry Hojlund man, bro had absolutely 0 service today again.”
