Hoylund made a bold statement to keep Manchester United clear of his name and continue to spit out cakes! The stoppage is too bad, Iron Gate roars, please

Manchester United £72 million center Hoylund scored last week's UEFA Europa League. After the game, he insisted that he was eager to stay in the team to prove himself, and was determined to learn from his difficult experiences and make greater contributions. However, in the subsequent Premier League round, the 22-year-old Danish center continued to perform poorly, playing for 90 minutes without gaining anything, and the league goal was still a pitiful 4 goals.

"Obviously, the team and I have experienced some difficult moments." Hoylund said after the Europa League, "I didn't score goals in many games. I won't say I lost my confidence, but you can't help but be frustrated and lost. However, it's the difficult moments that make you better, and you can learn more from it. I have always said that I understand the significance of Manchester United club. Although the pressure is very high, this is why I came here. I want to show myself on the biggest stage."

Hoylund said that although the team performed poorly this season, winning the UEFA Cup championship can still achieve its goals. "We are very happy to be in the finals, which doesn't divert our attention from the whole season because we're not doing well enough in the domestic arena. However, we are fighting to win trophies and we have a good chance of winning the European Championship. I think Manchester United has been improving over the past few weeks, and although they're not very good in the Premier League, we are gradually approaching the goal and we know we need to do better."

Manchester United has not won in their last seven Premier League games, and since Amorin took office in November, only relegated Ipswich (3), Leicester City (3) and Southampton (1) have fewer than the Red Devils' wins. During this period, although Hoylund made contributions to Bournemouth, he wasted opportunities more often. In the game against West Ham United, he won as many as 6 shots, but only had two shots on the right side, but ultimately failed to score.

Some of his shots were saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, but more often they missed it. Not only fans, Manchester United defender Luke Shaw was also disappointed with Hoylund's performance, shouting at him during the game to express his dissatisfaction.

When Hoylund was about to end the first half, Luke Shaw could not hide his disappointment. He shouted to Hoylund: "Rasmus (Hoylund), please (jump a little)!"

Luke Shaw's dissatisfaction with Hoylund is not the only one on the court. Bruno Fernandez also expressed dissatisfaction with Kobe Meno. Not long after the game started, B Fei complained loudly to Meno, perhaps because of the latter's position.

Manchester United coach Amorin criticized the team for lacking a sense of urgency and lacked the belief to cherish opportunities in both defense and offense. "I think some of our games are very similar, such as against Wolves. We create more opportunities than the opponent, but we lack a sense of urgency. When we get close to the opponent's penalty area, it doesn't matter if we lose it. We need to be more aggressive. The same is true when we defend. West Ham approached our penalty area several times, and we were not nervous at all, and we didn't have the spirit of urgency to protect the goal."

Amorin added: "We need to be more aggressive. If we can't grab the first place, then we will compete for it."

Two penalties, when you cross, if you are aggressive enough, you have a chance to score. And we are slow and have to do better. And what worries me the most is the mentality of "It's okay, our ranking can't be improved". This is the biggest problem for our club now. We are losing the feeling of a strong club and no longer feel that losing at home is the end of the world."

Hoylund will only turn 23 next season, and some forwards may be late. However, the gap between his high price and performance is too big, and it has been less and less time to prove himself at Manchester United. If he cannot perform in the last three games, especially in the Europa League final, it will not be surprising that Amorin will be cleaned after introducing the new No. 9 in the summer window.
