Manchester United fans have expressed their concerns over Rasmus Hojlund after footage of him outside Old Trafford emerged following their draw against Arsenal.
Sunday's Old Trafford showdown between Man United and Arsenal ended 1-1.
Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring after converting a stunning free-kick, with Christian Eriksen making a huge claim about the distance of Arsenal's wall.

Declan Rice levelled proceedings in the 74th minute as some Arsenal fans turned on him following his post-match interview.
Man United defended deeply but had opportunities in the second-half to grab a winner.
Hojlund, who started the game on the bench, was put through on goal until Rice produced a last-ditch tackle. He also had a chance at point blank range but was denied by Gabriel.

Hojlund is going through a rough patch in front of goal, having only scored two Premier League goals this season.
Footage of him outside Old Trafford appears to show the young forward going through a difficult time.
A video shows the 22-year-old having a chat with club legend and fellow countryman Peter Schmeichel, who looks to be consoling the Red Devils star.
Schmeichel, who won five league titles during his trophy-laden spell at Man United, can be seen speaking to Hojlund, with his arm around the player's shoulders.

Naturally, the clip of Schmeichel and Hojlund got Man United fans online taking.

One X user claimed: "I actually feel for him his confidence has gone completely and is feeling the weight of that 9 shirt but the fact the club spent 72 mill on him with no experience striker to take the pressure off him is typical Man United."
A second commented: "This is what we expect from Scholes, Neville and Roy Keane but they prefer to be haters."
A third added: "Hope it starts working for him, he’s still a kid."
Hojlund's teammate Eriksen is convinced the forward will come good at Man United.

"I am pretty confident that he will come good," he told Sky Sports. "He is a hard-working guy and he is unhappy when he doesn’t score goals.
"But you can name about ten other players in the team who don’t score enough goals. He is a good kid, he will be fine."
Hojlund has scored seven goals in 37 appearances across all competitions this season, including five goals in the Europa League.
Man United resume their European campaign on Thursday when they host Real Sociedad in the second-leg of their last-16 tie.
