Man Utd fans called out 'annoying' player after poor performance at Wolves

Manchester United fans have urged one of their players to stop ‘complaining’ after he performed poorly during the 2-0 Premier League defeat away at Wolves on Boxing Day.

The loss sees Ruben Amorim’s side to 14^th place in the top flight, having failed to win a game in their last three matches in all competitions.

Several players put in sub-par performances, with Bruno Fernandes being sent off shortly after half-time.

Then, on the 57-minute mark, Matheus Cunha scored directly from a corner before Hwang Hee-chan added a second in second-half stoppage time to round off a dismal day at the office for United.

Marcus Rashford was left out of the matchday squad for the fourth game running – having previously been omitted for the 2-1 win against Manchester City, the 4-3 loss away at Spurs and the embarrassing 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth at Old Trafford last Sunday.

After the game, when speaking with Prime Video, the United boss gave a brutal response when asked if Rashford had “been showing anything different”, to which he replied: “If he’s not here, you can make up your mind.”

With Rashford seemingly out of Amorim’s plans, this has helped Rasmus Hojlund capture a regular starting place.

However, United fans were not happy with the Dane’s performance against Wolves. They pinpointed a particular moment during the first-half when Hojlund appeared furious when Amad did not release a pass before the Ivorian was tackled.

Many supporters highlighted the forward’s mannerisms and actions towards his teammates during the defeat.

One said: "Although Mainoo’s passing has been off, this complaining from Hojlund when he's arguably our worst player week in week out, is becoming very annoying. You aren’t him."

Another defended the United striker, they added: "He did some great runs in the first half but never got a good pass. Of course he is furious."

A third explained: "Everyone hates on him, but he never gets opportunities in the box, the wingers always shoot instead - the rare times he does he scores, and otherwise he gets passed a ball on the half way line with no support and people expect him to take on a whole team alone and score?"

While a fourth commented: "Anyone who played any competitive team sport at any stage of their lives knows that these kinds of things happen in the heat of the moment. It is nothing."

Of course, Hojlund has showed signs of improvement this season, having registered seven goals and one assist in 21 appearances.
