Scholes Critiques Man Utd Forward’s Display In Liverpool Draw

Paul Scholes, a Manchester United legend, expressed disappointment in striker Rasmus Hojlund‘s performance following their goalless draw against Liverpool on Sunday.

Despite Scholes highlighting Hojlund’s missed opportunity, he commended the team’s resilience in holding Liverpool at bay during the intense clash at Anfield.

Hojlund notably squandered Manchester United’s best chance in the match, directing his shot straight at Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker. Scholes, while acknowledging the team’s overall defensive solidity, emphasized the importance of Hojlund capitalizing on such opportunities to cement his place as a centre forward for the club.

Reflecting on the game, Scholes shared, “I felt they coped admirably with everything Liverpool threw at them. They seemed quite composed, and the game was well within their control. There weren’t many clear-cut chances, and in the end, they could have stolen a win.”

Discussing Hojlund’s missed chance and the need for improvement in his finishing, Scholes highlighted its significance in shaping the player’s trajectory at Manchester United. “Moments like these define a striker’s career. Hojlund hasn’t secured a Premier League goal yet, and refining his finishing skills is crucial,” Scholes emphasized.

Scoring a decisive goal at Anfield, according to Scholes, holds immense importance and could potentially mark a turning point for the Danish international.

Scholes believes Hojlund might feel a tinge of disappointment regarding his overall performance in such a significant encounter.
