What Erik ten Hag told Manchester United star Rasmus Hojlund before first Premier League goal

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Erik ten Hag reiterated to Rasmus Hojlund he would break his Premier League goalscoring duck for Manchester United in a number of discussions.

Hojlund scored the winner in a 3-2 comeback against Aston Villa in his 15th league appearance for United as they ended a run of four games without victory.

The 20-year-old's adroit volley marked Hojlund's sixth goal for United since his £72million transfer from Atalanta and Ten Hag is optimistic the Dane will add to his domestic tally after claiming five goals in the Champions League group stage. "Yes, of course, several talks with him," Ten Hag said of his discussions with Hojlund about his domestic drought. "The time I pointed out you scored for Denmark a lot, you scored in the Champions League, so you demonstrated ability.

You can do it, believe in it, it will come. I am sure now the first goal is in, more will come.
