Can Hojlund’s Drought End Soon? …
Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund is going through a goal drought that could turn the Sahara green with envy! In the midst of this barren spell, which now stretches to 19 games without seeing the back of the net, football legend Alan Shearer has a simple message for him: “Mate, just keep going!”
Hojlund certainly showed some Danish dynamism against Real Sociedad, looking lively – as lively as a caffeine-fueled squirrel at times. But after missing out on chances, and going all volcano erruption-like at teammate Diogo Dalot for missing a chance to set him up, Hojlund’s search for a goal went on. Strangely, his last joy over goals was way back with a December double against Viktoria Plzen. Shearer believes that one precious goal could be like finding the jackpot in a bag of popcorn – transformational!
As if Hojlund’s situation isn’t puzzling enough, Shearer thinks that the team’s tactics under coach Ruben Amorim might need a GPS. It’s like trying to read a map written in hieroglyphics. Despite Thursday’s 1-1 draw being somewhat hopeful, Shearer’s advice to United fans – don’t bet your lunch money on progressing in the Europa League just yet!
