Hojlund continued to spit out crazy cakes after proudly saying that he would keep Manchester United right! The ball was stopped too badly, and the iron gate roared please

Manchester United's £72million centre-forward Hojlund scored in the Europa League in mid-week and insisted after the game that he was keen to stay and prove himself, determined to learn from his difficult experience and make a bigger contribution. However, in the following round of the Premier League, the 22-year-old Danish centre-forward continued to perform poorly, playing 90 minutes without a result, and still scoring a measly four league goals.

'Obviously, I went through some tough moments with the team. Speaking after the Europa League, Hojlund said: "There are a lot of games without scoring, I wouldn't say you've lost your confidence, but you're frustrated and frustrated. However, it's the tough times that make you better, and you can learn more from them. I've always said I know what it means to be a club and it's a lot of pressure, but that's why I'm here and I want to show myself on the biggest stage."

Hojlund says that despite the team's poor performance this season, winning the Europa League can still achieve the goal. "We are very happy to be in the final, it does not distract us from the whole season because we have not been good enough on the domestic stage. However, we are fighting to win trophies and we have a good chance of winning the European title. I think Manchester United have been improving over the last few weeks and although the results in the Premier League are not too good, we are getting closer to the goal and we know we need to do better.'

United are winless in their last seven Premier League games, with only relegated Ipswich Town (3), Leicester City (3) and Southampton (1) having won fewer than the Red Devils' six games since Amorim took charge in November. During this period, Hojlund contributed to the draw with Bournemouth, but more often than not, he was wasting opportunities. Against West Ham, he had a whopping six attempts on goal but only two on target and ultimately failed to find the back of the net.

Some of his shots were saved by the goalkeeper, but more often than not, he was deflected wide. Not only the fans, but Manchester United defender Luke Shaw was also disappointed with Hojlund's performance, shouting at him during the game to express his displeasure.

Luke Shaw couldn't hide his disappointment when Hojlund couldn't control the ball at the end of the first half, shouting at Hojlund: "Rasmus (Hojlund), please!"

Luke Shaw's displeasure with Hojlund is not the only one on the field. Bruno Fernandez also expressed his displeasure with Kobe Maynor. Not long after the start of the match, B Fei complained loudly to Meno, perhaps because of the latter's position.

Manchester United boss Amorim has criticised his squad for a lack of urgency and a lack of belief in securing opportunities in both defence and attack. 'I think some of the games we played were similar, for example against Wolves. We created more chances than the other side, but we lacked a sense of urgency. When you get close to the opponent's penalty area, it doesn't matter if you feel like you've lost your chance. We need to be more aggressive. Defensively the same, West Ham approached our box a couple of times and we weren't nervous at all, we didn't have the spirit of desperate to protect the goal.

Amorim added: 'We need to be more aggressive, if we can't get the first spot, then we fight for the second penalty and when we cross, if you're aggressive enough, you have a chance to score. And we're slow, and we have to do better. And what worries me the most is the mentality of 'it's okay, we can't improve our rankings'. That's the biggest problem for our club right now, we're losing the feeling of being a strong club and no longer feeling like losing at home is the end of the world."

Hojlund will only turn 23 next season, and some of the strikers could be late bloomers. However, the gap between his high price and his performances is too great, and the time to prove himself at Manchester United is running out of time. If he can't perform in the last three games, especially the Europa League final, it won't be surprising that Amorim was purged after the introduction of a new no.9 in the summer window.
