Man United fans demand a signing to replace one player after Fulham disasterclass

Manchester United fans complained about the same player in the game against Fulham on Sunday evening.

Manchester United claimed a 1-0 win away at Fulham on Sunday but that didn't stop fans from complaining about the same player.

The game at Craven Cottage, a 7pm kick-off, was a largely underwhelming affair and there wasn't much to report on until Lisandro Martinez's deflected strike broke the deadlock in the 78th minute.

Ruben Amorim's side made it back-to-back wins following on from the last-gasp Europa League victory over Rangers on Thursday but there were still plenty of disappointed United fans.

The team only managed a single shot on target in the clash and not for the first time this season, supporters laid into £67 million striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The Dane managed just 10 touches in the first half and was completely anonymous, struggling to hold the ball up and constantly miscontrolling it whenever he was passed to.

Things did not improve much in the second half - ultimately leading to the former Atalanta man being hooked for Joshua Zirkzee in the 58th minute.

Hojlund has scored just two goals in the Premier League this season and in an even more damning statistic which highlights his struggles, has now failed to score in 37 of his 49 appearances in the English top flight.

And United supporters have had enough, with many ranting about Hojlund on X, formerly known as Twitter.

One wrote: "We need a new striker asap. Sell Hojlund to Coventry City."

Another said: "Hojlund might be the worst striker to ever play for this club genuinely."

A third added: "I’ve had too much patience with Hojlund but I'm fed up now. Send the guy out on loan."

Another opined: "Weghorst was better than Hojlund and by some distance."

A fifth stated: "Every Hojlund touch is a counter attack for the opposition."

A final user tweeted: "See that Hojlund. Ferguson would have sold him already."

Ruben Amorim appears to be aware of the issues in attack as he said that the team lacks "some pace and power in front" after failing to pose much of a threat.

Though their No.9 is still not producing, United have now moved up to 12th in the Premier League table after an eighth consecutive away win against Fulham.

United return to action on Thursday when they travel to Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League, before hosting Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Sunday.
