Rasmus Hojlund insists that he is determined to learn from the difficult times at Manchester United and to deliver it to the club, despite reports that connect him with a relocation of Old Trafford this summer.
The 22-year-old has struggled this season with only four goals in the Premier League, but he scored on Thursday against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League and he now has six goals in the competition this campaign.
“There have been clearly difficult times,” said Hojlund. 'If you go for many games without a goal, I would not say that I lost faith myself, but you go down a little more and a little more frustrated.
'It is the difficult times that make you better and you learn a lot from them. I always said that I know what this football club is all about and it is a lot of busy, but that's why I am here. I want to show myself on the biggest stage, “the 22-year-old added.
And Hojlund believes that Manchester United improves under Ruben Amorim, but admits that regardless of whether or not they win the Europa League, the season has not been good enough. '
'We are very happy that we are in the final, but it cannot remove the focus of the entire season, because it has not been good enough in our own country. On the other hand, we play to win trophies and we are in a good position to win a European, “Hojlund said.
'I think we have improved in recent weeks, although the results in the Premier League have not been too good – only in Europe. But in the Premier League we gradually get it, although we know we should get better, “he added.
United is Winless in their last six Premier League matches and since Amorim took the lead in November, only the now related sides of Ipswich (3), Leicester (3) and Southampton (1) have won fewer competitions than she (6).
But Hojlund emphasized that the mood is changing in the dressing room prior to the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao.
“We focus on the chance we have here,” he said. 'There may be a different energy if we play these (European) games, because we clearly want to try to win this tournament.
That can give us something this year to take the next and winning a trophy is always important for a club of this size. '
