Rasmus Hojlund spotted 'having a go' at Man Utd teammate during Fulham game as damning stat about striker emerges

Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund held nothing back against his own teammate during the 1-0 win against Fulham in the Premier League.

Ruben Amorim secured his fourth league victory since replacing Erik ten Hag courtesy of Lisandro Martinez’s deflected strike in a drab affair at Craven Cottage.

The hosts went close through Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Munez with Toby Collyer making a crucial goal-line clearance to secure all three points for the visitors.

Amad thought he had added to the scoreline late on but VAR ruled out his strike for offside.

Despite the win, United fans are still concerned with just days remaining in the January transfer window and the performance of Ramus Hojlund did little to appease supporters desperate for reinforcements.

The Danish international struggled immensely against Marco Silva’s side before being substituted in the 58th minute for Joshua Zirkzee.

He failed to register a single shot making only 21 touches and lost possession 11 times. Furthermore, the £72m signing won zero of his six aerial duels and ,according to Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst, berated his teammate Andre Onana for constantly delivering lofted passes in his direction.

To add insult to injury, Hojlund has now failed to score in 36 of his 48 league appearances which will only intensify speculation that Amorim could look to sign Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres when the summer window opens.

The United boss admitted in his post-match press conference that there was a ‘disconnect’ between the 21-year-old and his teammates but backed him to return to his best.

He said: "He works really hard and you can see sometimes without training there is a disconnection. We can explain but without training sometimes it goes away when it should be near. Sometimes he goes near when he should make a run.

"We don’t have time to create that connection, we don't train these kind of things, we just talk about these things and he has a lot to improve like the teammates. Sometimes you have a good game, and another day you cannot have a good performance.

"The important thing is I see every day he wants (it) really badly, he wants to train a little bit more at the end of training and that is the best thing to improve.

"But as a footballer - and he is a young guy - sometimes you have to understand that you have a bad game but you have to continue to go to the next."

United are back in action against FCSB in the Europa League on Thursday.
