Roy Keane urges Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund to sharpen his focus in front of goal, criticizing the striker’s missed opportunities in the FA Cup victory over Wigan Athletic.
Despite United’s advancement to the cup’s fourth round, Hojlund’s inconsistency in converting chances draws Keane’s frustration, with the former captain emphasizing the need for clinical finishing.
While Hojlund showcased prowess in the UEFA Champions League group stage, scoring five goals in six games, his struggle to replicate the form in domestic competitions, managing just one goal in 18 outings, raises concerns.
Keane, speaking on ITV, delivers a blunt assessment, emphasizing the importance of seizing scoring opportunities: “Create opportunities, put them in the back of the net, stop messing about!”
On the other hand, Portugal manager Roberto Martinez offers a more empathetic perspective, acknowledging Hojlund’s commitment while highlighting the pressure associated with being a Manchester United striker.
