MANCHESTER UNITED coaches are reportedly growing frustrated with £72million flop striker Rasmus Hojlund.
The forward – signed from Atalanta in 2023 – has managed just TWO Premier League goals in 21 games this season with zero assists.

Even Aaron Wan-Bissaka has provided more goals
Meanwhile right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka – who United sold for just £15m to West Ham – has two goals and two assists to his name.
Hojlund is without a goal in 16 games and according to the Manchester Evening News, coaches are beginning to show frustration.
One in particular was said to be fuming with the Dane’s performance in the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham earlier in February.
With United 2-0 down at Everton last weekend – Hojlund was taken off for 17-year-old Chido Obi who made only his second senior appearance.
There was a loud cheer from the away end when Hojlund was taken with 20 minutes to go.
And United scored twice within ten minutes of Hojlund’s substitution to salvage a point at Goodison Park.
United manager Ruben Amorim hooked Hojlund after he lost an aerial battle in the 3-1 comeback win against Southampton.
But in January, Amorim refused to point the blame on Hojlund, instead suggesting it was a collective problem.

He said: “I think it’s a team problem. You can see it. It’s not just from now, it’s from the past. So we have clearly a lack of goals and a lack of threat.
“When you threaten the opponents, the opponents maybe don’t press you so high. So everything is connected.
“All the players have moments in this season. I think when we started this journey together, Rasmus was the player that was always scoring.
“So he can come back in the next game, we will see.”
Hojlund – signed by ex-boss Erik ten Hag – scored 16 goals in his first season at Old Trafford.
But he has only seven in all competitions this term – five in the Europa League.
