After ending Man Utd goal drought, Hojlund admits struggles

LONDON: Rasmus Hojlund admitted he has not been at the top of his game after ending his three-month goal drought in Manchester United´s 3-0 win at Leicester.

The 22-year-old has been through some frustrating fallow periods since arriving at Old Trafford from Atalanta in August 2023, with many questioning the £72-million ($93-million) deal.

The Denmark international ended his 21-match goal drought by setting Ruben Amorim´s side on their way to a 3-0 win at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Hojlund scored in the 28th minute, drilling a right-footed finish across Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen following a pass from Bruno Fernandes.

Alejandro Garnacho ended his own lean spell in front of goal and Fernandes added a third as United extended their unbeaten Premier League run to four matches. Hojlund said he was relieved to be back on the scoresheet for the first time since mid-December but that his issues were not just related to a lack of goals.
