In a recent interview, Manchester United's striker Rasmus Hojlund shared his thoughts on the current state of the team. It's been a tough season for the Red Devils, with inconsistent performances and a slip into the bottom half of the Premier League table under manager Erik ten Hag. Even the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim hasn't seemed to turn things around for the struggling squad.
But amidst all the struggles, there was a glimmer of hope for Manchester United fans as they came from behind to beat Leicester City in the FA Cup. A last-minute goal from Harry Maguire secured the win for the team, sparking some much-needed relief from their recent string of losses.
Hojlund, who played the full 90 minutes in the match, unfortunately couldn't break his goal drought and has now gone 14 games without scoring. But that didn't stop him from recognizing the talent of his teammate, Manuel Ugarte, whom he considers to be the most underrated player on the team.
Ugarte, a £50m signing from Paris Saint-Germain, has been a consistent performer for Manchester United this season. Despite the team's struggles, he has stood out as a standout player, earning the praise of his teammates and fans alike. Hojlund highlighted that players like Ugarte, who work tirelessly on the field, often don't receive the recognition they deserve.
Aside from Ugarte, Hojlund also mentioned the recent success of fellow teammate Amad Diallo, who has been making a name for himself in the team. But for Hojlund, it's Ugarte who has been performing at the highest level and is finally starting to receive the recognition he deserves.
In the FA Cup match against Leicester, Ugarte played the majority of the game before being substituted in the dying seconds. And while the victory may have been fortuitous, it was a much-needed result for the struggling team. However, manager Ruben Amorim was quick to acknowledge that the team's performance still needs improvement, especially in terms of energy and ball control.
But Amorim is taking responsibility for the team's struggles and is determined to improve their performance in the next game. He believes that it's the small details that can make a big difference on the field, and the team will continue to work on those aspects to turn their season around. Despite the challenges, Amorim is confident that Manchester United will come back stronger in their next match.
