Renowned former Manchester United player, Paul Parker, has shed light on Rasmus Hojlund’s state of mind, revealing his frustration with teammates and the widespread contempt directed at him. Hojlund, who made a high-profile move to Old Trafford from Atalanta for £72m last summer, recently notched his debut Premier League goal during Man United’s 3-2 triumph over Aston Villa.
In an exclusive statement to Tipsbladet, Parker expressed, “Everyone seems to harbor resentment towards Manchester United and Rasmus Hojlund. Experts and critics alike are rooting for his failure due to his association with the world’s most polarizing club.” He continued, “However, amidst this adversity, the unwavering support of the fans remains a source of solace for him.”
Parker candidly acknowledged, “I believe Hojlund’s frustrations stem from the lack of optimal support from his teammates, impeding his ability to capitalize on goal-scoring opportunities.”
Hojlund’s journey in the Premier League continues to be a subject of global scrutiny, as he grapples with the weight of expectations at one of football’s most iconic institutions.
