Match of the Day pundit sends 'nightmare' Rasmus Hojlund message to Man Utd amid goal struggles

Manchester United have been told they need not worry about their pricey summer signing Rasmus Hojlund. The Dane has struggled for goals during the early days of his time at Old Trafford, keeping in mind he missed the first month or so through injury.

While Hojlund has netted in the Champions League, he is yet to score in the Premier League, and his domestic drought continued on Saturday as United defeated Luton Town 1-0 at home. Hojlund had one big chance, in particular, during that game, but he couldn't turn home from a yard out, albeit he wasn't helped by the proximity of the goalkeeper and the height of the ball.

Given the size of United's investment in the Denmark international, which was more than £70million, there is some concern over his early struggles, but Match of the Day pundit Ashley Williams believes the goals 'will come'.

"He impressed me again even though he didn't score. He's constantly getting in there and movement is so hard to defend against when the striker goes one way and then the other. Once the first goal comes, more will come," said Williams on Saturday night. His first thought is for the team with energy, pressing and he helps to win it back. When they are out of possession he doesn't switch off, he goes and presses and forces Luton into playing long.

"It's things like that as a centre-back you like your striker to do. Occupy defenders with his strength. That should be an assist for him for Garnacho. He gets the ball, turns and drives straight at the Luton defence.

"He keeps getting in there and it won't be long [before he scores]. He can seem to occupy two defenders which is a nightmare to defend against. He's very clever and he's also very hard-working, willing and energetic. I think his first Premier League goal will come sooner rather than later."
