Rasmus Hojlund tries so hard to end his goal drought that “he makes it worse” for himself, according to Manchester United Baas Ruben Amorim.
The Denmark International did not score in each of his last six games in all competitions, since he has just found the 3-0 win over Leicester City in mid-March.
That strike represents the only goal of Hojlund from 2025, and one of only three that he has registered in 28 Premier League performances during a difficult campaign for the Red Devils, which occupied 14th place in the table.
The 22-year-old has been more clinical in the Europa League and has succeeded five times, but his eight-year-old count is exactly half of his total during his debut season in Old Trafford in 2023-24.

“A striker must score goals, so we try to help him,” Amorim said reporters during his press conference before the competition prior to the United collision with Bournemouth on Sunday.
“He tries very hard, and he wants things so much, he makes it worse. He creates one situation against wolves and he improves the little things. The goal will come.”
With three goals of 24 shots in the Premier League this period – from nine shots on Target – Hojlund has left his XG of 3.36.
Despite a shot conversion rate of only 12.5%, he has the third highest among the united attackers, behind Marcus Rashford (25%) and Amad Diallo (15%).
