Rasmus Hojlund finally delivers direct response to report that claimed team-mates ‘don’t pass’ to him

Rasmus Hojlund has addressed a recent report claiming that his Manchester United teammates don’t pass to him.

Last summer, 21-year-old Hojlund left Serie A side Atalanta to move to Old Trafford in a deal worth a reported fee of £72 million.

Since then, the Danish international has scored 16 goals across all competitions for the Red Devils.

Recently, there was a report by the Manchester Evening News claiming Hojlund’s teammates were reluctant to pass him the ball as they remained unconvinced by his ability.

The report stated: “A United squad member told a confidant that certain players are seeking alternative solutions in the final third due to Hojlund’s lean spell in front of goal. United have scored one goal in their past three games.

“The Manchester Evening News revealed in December certain United players had doubts over Hojlund amid his Premier League drought.”

Speaking recently to Tipsbladet, Hojlund spoke about the report.

He said: “I don’t understand such an article. I feel like I get the ball if I’m in the right positions.

“I would have liked to get the ball a bit more sometimes, but that’s just not always possible. It’s another example of something I have to shut out because it’s just a lot of noise.”

Hojlᴜnd аdded: “уoᴜ һаʋe to fіlter tһe ѕtorіeѕ Ьecаᴜѕe 90-95 рercent of tһeм аre nonѕenѕe. і һаd to leаrn to ѕort tһroᴜgһ tһeм, Ьecаᴜѕe tһere’ѕ not мᴜcһ elѕe і cаn do otһer tһаn рᴜt tһeм on іce.”
