Rasmus Hojlund’s alarming stats show why he has not been able to score for MU in the Premier League since moving in the summer.

Rasmus Hojlund joined MU from Atalanta in a transfer worth 85 million euros. The 20-year-old star is expected by Erik ten Hag to help improve the Red Devils’ attack in their goal of racing for the title.

Rasmus Hojlund enjoyed the joy of scoring for MU in the C1 Cup, but even if he had 5 goals in the group stage, he could not help the team advance.

However, so far the Danish striker has only scored 5 goals in 20 appearances for MU in all competitions.

All 5 of Hojlund’s goals came in the Champions League group stage, while still unable to ‘open an account’ in the Premier League.

Hojlund hopes to end his scoring drought tomorrow night, when MU visits Liverpool’s Anfield stadium at 11:30 p.m. on December 17.

But in addition to the fact that MU has not known how to win against Liverpool in the port city, since 2016 (with 5 losses, 3 draws) and most recently the 0-7 defeat, there are other worrying indicators ‘against’ Rasmus Hojlund.

In the Premier League, Hojlund cannot “open an account” because he is the striker who receives the fewest passes and the second-fewest receiver in the tournament is… Martial!

  According to Telegraph, Hojlund is the striker who receives the fewest passes in the Premier League. Specifically, this striker received less than 150 passes from MU teammates, compared to Tottenham’s Son Heung Min – who received the most, nearly 400 passes.

For a player just starting out in a tough tournament like the Premier League and not receiving enough support from his teammates, it is understandable that Hojlund remains completely silent.

More worrying statistics from MU’s playing style, leading to the strikers on their attack starving for the ball

It is worth mentioning that the second-fewest receiver on the list is also… MU player (Anthony Martial) – also less than 150 passes, further showing why Erik ten Hag’s team played ineffectively.

In the English derby, MU is inferior in every aspect, it is very difficult for Erik ten Hag to cause a ‘shock’ on Liverpool’s field, in the eyes of many people it is even “impossible”.
