Erik ten Hag confirms the reason for leaving Hojlund on the Man United bench

The red devils definitely need to have some better results in the next part of the season, but the fact is that now the team is looking to get back into the game now.

Manchester United did not had the start to the game that they wanted, now that they allowed the Bournemouth team to get ahead in the game with just 5 minutes into the game, and while the manager had the idea to rest some players for the Champions League game, the fact is that he might need to make some changes to the team in the next part of the season.

“Rasmus Hojlund, he played a lot of games, many games to play as well, but also to give Martial the opportunity.” Ten Hag said, but the fact is that now the french striker has not been able to have an impact with the team in the next part of the season and this could really affect the future of the team in the result of the game.

Marcus Rashford was another player that seems that he was ready to go ahead and be a part of the game for the red devils now that he passed a late fitness test, but several sources believe that the same reason for him to be on the bench is for the fact that the manager wants to have him ready for the european competition.

Rasmus Hojlund is yet looking for his first goal in the Premier League, and the fact is that this could really help the team to turn this result around, now that the team definitely needs to take the home advantage to make sure that they could get closer to their goal to get to the winter break in the four spots positions in the Premier League.

Rasmus Hojlund role

But the fact is that the decision from Ten Hag to let Rasmus Hojlund rest could be due to the fact that the young striker has only been able to score for the team in the Champions League, where they also need a great result now.
