Why Man Utd star Rasmus Hojlund is struggling for goals in the Premier League

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

After failing to score at Anfield last night Rasmus Højlund still has zero goal contributions in his 13 Premier League appearances - including 10 starts - for Manchester United.

The 20-year-old striker, signed for £72 million from Atalanta in the summer, has only managed seven shots on target in 882 minutes of league football and has missed nine big chances.

But despite United finishing bottom of their group, below Bayern Munich, F.C. Copenhagen, and Galatasaray, he became the fastest-ever United player to score five goals in the Champions League.

Højlund reached this tally in just four games, bettering Dwight Yorke’s record in the process.
