Manchester United fans are right not to be concerned about Rasmus Hojlund

Manchester United are a basketcase club, so it feels appropriate that Rasmus Hojlund has scored five goals in the Champions League without finding the back of the net once in the Premier League.

United have played four matches since defeating Luton and Hojlund didn't score in that run of fixtures, although he was absent in the win against Everton and named on the bench in the loss against Newcastle.

Hojlund returned to the starting team against Chelsea and it was hard not to sympathise with him as the majority of crosses from Alejandro
