RASMUS HOJLUND might have anticipated savoring at least a fleeting moment of triumph after netting a crucial double.

This match not only represented Ruben Amorim‘s first home game as the manager of Manchester United, but also delivered a riveting 3-2 comeback win characterized by dynamic offensive plays.

Nevertheless, after the hard-fought Europa League group win over Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt, Amorim provided a detailed critique of the forward’s performance.

His straightforward evaluation was: “He has to improve.”

The Red Devils initially trailed 2-1, despite taking an early lead thanks to a tap-in from Alejandro Garnacho.

Hojlund assisted in that goal, although a critical error from goalkeeper Nikita Haikin played a substantial role in the scoring.

The 21-year-old Norwegian equalized just before halftime

and netted again after the break, finishing off Manuel Ugarte‘s cross to clinch the 3-2 win in the Europa League group stage.

Hojlund celebrated his spectacular opening goal in a dramatic manner reminiscent of Gladiator.

However, some may contend that Amorim’s criticism was as severe as any Roman judgment.

The Portuguese manager remarked on the £72million former Atalanta player: “He needs to enhance his game; he takes too many touches when controlling the ball.”

Nonetheless, Amorim acknowledged two notable strengths of the 6ft 3ins forward and provided an overall favorable review.

The ex-Sporting Lisbon coach stressed: “He adapted well during transitions and showed aggression in the box while scoring. He is a quality player.”

Many fans expressed their astonishment at Amorim’s forthright comments so soon after his arrival.

One fan said: “Relax Ruben, this was his first match with proper support, and he scored twice! Focus on Rashford and Antony.

Another supporter somewhat agreed with Amorim, noting that Hojlund “just holds the ball too long.”

However, they added, “If he can work on that and stay on his feet more often, he’ll be exceptional.”

There was significant backing for Hojlund, particularly under the new coaching staff.

One supporter commented: “Amorim is going to develop him into a gem.”

Another stated: “Hojlund is a talented player with immense potential.”
