Several Man United players 'reluctant to pass' to Rasmus Hojlund in final third

The Manchester Evening News shared a concerning report about Rasmus Hojlund's stature in the team.

It is claimed that a number of his Man United teammates are 'reluctant to pass' the ball to the Danish striker and are unconvinced about his level in general.

The 21-year-old joined United last summer for a fee rising to £72m. He's far from a finished article but still scored 14 goals in all competitions this season.

His hot spell was ended by an injury, though. After returning to the pitch in March, he has only found the net once, and his teammates appeared to have lost faith in him.

Against Arsenal, in particular, he made just 17 touches of the ball in 88 minutes on the pitch, being limited to just one short attempt.

It is possible, though, that Hojlund would have regained his form sooner if his teammates had played with him more.
