Gary Neville said that Ramus Hojlund is not a "attack" factor at Manchester United.
The performance of Rasmus Hojlund, the promising young striker of Manchester United, is causing many concerns in the hearts of fans after the recent defeat. Former captain Gary Neville shared his feelings and views on the situation of this player at Old Trafford.
The defeat against Fulham: like another step back
Since joining Manchester United, Rasmus Hojlund has faced many challenges in scoring. Recently, in a FA Cup match against Fulham, Hojlund continued to be unable to score, causing him to go through a series of 18 matches without goals. This has led to a wave of criticism from experts and fans.
"This is a difficult task for any striker," Neville said, "and it becomes even more clear to Hojlund." The defeat against Fulham not only increased the pressure on Hojlund but also raised the question of his future at the club.
Last weekend, Manchester United was defeated by Fulham on a penalty spot after a 1-1 draw during the official competition. United's only goal was scored by Bruno Fernandes, but the lack of sharpness in the attack was once again clearly shown when the strikers could not convert the opportunity into a goal.

Gary Neville was at Old Trafford as a fans and witnessed the disappointment of the team. He emphasized that "relief" appeared on the face of fans when Hojlund left the field, showing the pressure that young players were suffering.
"Hojlund had a really difficult match," Neville said. "There is a big feeling of concern when a boy cannot score in 18 matches."
The squad lacks damage in the striker
According to Neville, the shortage of speed and creativity in the attack is also the reason for Hojlund to face difficulties. He pointed out that, besides Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee and Christian Eriksen also could not afford to best support this striker. "Hojlund has talent and fitness, but he is struggling a lot now," he added.
The fact that United was eliminated from the FA Cup made their title target this season became more limited, with the Europa League now the only way to save the season. This puts more pressure on Hojlund, who needs to find a scoring performance if they want to help the team go further.
Hojlund is expected to play in the match against Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday night. He has scored five goals in this tournament, and will need to improve his achievement if he wants to bring Manchester United deeper.

The next match of United in the Premier League will also be a big challenge. They will face Arsenal, the team is in very good form and has just won 7-1 against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. Paul Merson, former Arsenal midfielder, warned that this impressive result would make Arsenal more confident in the encounter with United.
"If Arsenal comes to Old Trafford with comfort, it will be unhappy for Manchester United," Merson said. "It's hard to imagine that they can score seven goals before the season ends."
Which future for Ramus Hojlund
Rasmus Hojlund is currently facing great pressure from both the Board of Directors and the fans. After many non -scoring matches, he understood that the only thing that could help him overcome this difficult period was to score. As a central striker, Hojlund needs to find confidence and style to help Manchester United compete again.
His future at the club depends on the ability to find goals in the coming matches. If it is impossible to improve the performance, Hojlund may face great questions about its position at Old Trafford.
Gary Neville expressed concerns about the performance of Rasmus Hojlund after the defeat of Manchester United before Fulham, emphasizing that the pressure is growing on this young player. With the upcoming important matches, Hojlund needs to quickly find a goal to help the team towards higher goals in the season.
