'He has to deal with that' - Rasmus Hojlund challenged to 'score many more' goals by Ruben Amorim after Man Utd striker ends goal drought with late equaliser against Bournemouth

The Dane scored a 96th-minute equaliser against 10-man Bournemouth on Sunday as United came away with a 1-1 draw in the Premier League. After the game, head coach Amorim called on his striker to increase his goal haul and said that he "has to deal" with the big expectations that come with playing for the Red Devils.

Amorim told BBC Match of the Day: “I will not say [he is] relaxed, but he could be a little bit lighter during the week. He now needs to score many more."

He added to Sky Sports: "He knows how much he needs to score goals at this club. If you want to be at a big club like Manchester United, you need to improve every time you step onto the pitch, but it’s not only up to him. Expectations on him are very high, and he has to deal with that. When he doesn’t score, he has to focus on what he needs to do a little bit differently to score.”

Hojlund grabbed just his fourth Premier League goal of the season, in a difficult campaign for the 21-year-old. He has been linked with swap moves and a return to Serie A but for now the youngster has been challenged to up his game for United. Whether this is his last season at the club remains to be seen.

Hojlund will hope to get on the scoresheet again when United travel to Athletic Club on Thursday for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.
