FOOTBALL Ten Hag sends passionate appeal to Manchester United fans ahead of Aston Villa clash
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has urged his players to step up in their match against Aston Villa as he looks to save his job following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival at Old Trafford.
Rasmus nets winner for United
The 20-year-old joined Manchester United in a celebrated move earlier this summer from Serie A side, Atalanta BC.
However, he has come under criticism from pundits and fans alike following a run of 14 matches without a Premier League goal since his 72 million pound transfer.
)
The Red Devils came into the match looking to end a run of four matches without a win across all competitions against the in-form Villains.
But two set-piece goals from John McGinn and Leander Dendocker meant Unai Emery’s men looked good for a famous win at Old Trafford.
A remarkable second-half performance, however, saw Alejandro Garnacho’s brace give Erik Ten Hag’s men a lifeline before an instinctive strike from the Dane ended the forward’s goal drought and United’s poor run.
Hojlund reacts to the winner
After the game, the youngster could not contain his joy as he told the Premier League he is relieved to have scored his first goal and the happiest man alive.
)
"I know I’ve got a few in the Champions League but it’s been too long in the league, so it’s such a relief to score," an elated Hojlund said after the match. "I’m the happiest man in the world right now."
Hojlund came into the game without a goal in 14 matches while United had failed to score in their previous four.
)
With both ending that drought which sees them move three points of rivals, Manchester City on the table, the Red Devils will be hoping the performance against Villa would prove a turning point in what has been a turbulent 2023/2024 campaign so far.
