Manchester United had a close call during their recent match against Wolves. Rasmus Hojlund, who was watching from the sidelines, expressed his frustration as his team nearly lost the lead in the final minutes of the game. The team had put on a strong performance for the first 60 minutes, with Scott McTominay's goal giving them a comfortable lead. However, things took a turn for the worse when Max Kilman and Pedro Neto scored for Wolves in the closing minutes.
Hojlund, who had contributed a goal earlier in the game, was substituted off and could only watch as his team struggled to maintain their lead. Luckily, 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo came to the rescue with a brilliant solo goal in injury time, securing the win for Manchester United. Despite the victory, Hojlund couldn't help but feel uneasy about the team's performance in the final minutes. "We need to do better in these situations," he said. "We were lucky to come out with a win, but it's something we need to work on."
On Mainoo's performance, Hojlund had nothing but praise. While he didn't get a chance to play with him during pre-season, he had heard about Mainoo's talent from his teammates. "He has a nice body type and he is mature already," Hojlund said. "He is very calm and also a nice guy off the pitch. You can see he is composed. He is an incredible talent." At just 18 years old, Mainoo has already made a significant impact on the team.
Looking ahead, Hojlund hopes that this win will be a turning point for the team. After a decent January, he believes that Manchester United can continue their success and have a strong February as well. "We take every game at a time and we go for everything we can win," he said. "We want to win every game and go for the FA Cup and get as high in the table as we can. Hopefully we can secure a spot in the Champions League."
The team has a lot of potential and Hojlund is confident that they can achieve their goals. He also mentioned that there are still some areas they need to improve on, but he is excited for what the future holds for Manchester United. "I don't want to jinx anything but hopefully it can be a turning point," he said. "It's a big win away and maybe we can get some wins going."
