Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has offered a candid assessment of Rasmus Højlund’s performance, highlighting areas for improvement. According to Amorim, the young forward needs to refine his ball control, as he tends to take too many touches when in possession. Despite this critique, Amorim acknowledged Højlund’s strengths, noting his effective play during transitions and his aggressive presence in the penalty area, which contributed to his goal-scoring efforts.
Højlund, a promising talent in the forward position, has been under Amorim’s guidance at Manchester United. The manager’s comments come amidst his ongoing efforts to optimise the roles of his attacking players, as seen in his recent focus on Marcus Rashford’s positioning and urging the forwards to increase their goal tally. Amorim’s strategic insights aim to enhance the overall performance of the team, with a particular emphasis on improving individual player skills and contributions.
