Man Utd are still trying to manage Rasmus Hojlund carefully after he arrived at the club with an injury.
There were loud boos the first time Rasmus Hojlund was taken off during a Premier League match earlier this season. There were few complaints from Manchester United fans when the same replacement was made at the weekend.
It is important not to expect too much of Hojlund during his first season in English football, but at the same time, he won’t be afforded a free pass throughout it just because of his age. It is clear that the Danish international is very much the manager’s man and will be the first-choice for much of the season, though he won’t keep that place unless he delivers the performances to match on the pitch. That is not to say he hasn’t so far, but a key part of keeping Hojlund at the top of his game will be making him well aware that his place in the team isn’t guaranteed just because so much was spent on him in the summer.
"If I saw the programme for the coming weeks, we have to swap during games and between games; otherwise, we don't keep the energy, we don't keep the focus in the team, and we don't get them so fresh for every game. Hojlund is the current top scorer in the Champions League this season and will fancy his chances of adding more to his name against former club FC Copenhagen tomorrow night, but there is even an argument that he should be rested from the start to keep his freshness for the Manchester derby this weekend.
