'Why the hell can't I score?' - Rasmus Hojlund lifts lid on goal struggles and being stuck in a 'vicious circle' at Man Utd

The striker has struggled since signing for United in the summer of 2023, scoring 24 goals in 84 appearances. He has netted just eight times this season and has opened up to ESPN in Demark about his issues.

Hojlund said: "It was a vicious circle. We didn’t play that well as a team and it also affected me. But I’m not the type to lie down and give up. I don’t just sit down and say, "It's great that I haven’t scored in 21 games". I sit myself down and look at my game to see what I can do better. I think, "Why the hell is it that I can’t score? Where is it that it’s going wrong?"

Manchester United are said to be keen on signing a new centre-forward this summer, with Liam Delap of Ipswich and Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres among the key targets. Whether that could spell the end of Hojlund's time at the club is not clear.

Hojlund will hope his fortunes improve when United take on Lyon in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final on Thursday. They then go to Newcastle in the Premier League before the return leg against the French side.
