Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund sends message about his Premier League goal drought

Rasmus Hojlund thinks it's only a matter of time before he scores his first Premier League goal for Manchester United.

Hojlund was forced to wait to make his United debut after signing from Atalanta with a back injury, but he's now made 14 appearances in a red shirt and he's scored five goals in the Champions League.

"I still feel a little bit cheated of my goal against Brighton [which was disallowed by VAR] because I watched the Newcastle game [against Arsenal] where it was more or less the same," Hojlund said.

"I know when I get the chances in the league, they're going to be hopefully in the back of the net."

"We're going to work hard and get back to where we want to be, which is at the top. Every game is big in the
