Man United stars Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen share surprise image
Man United stars Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen have taken to social media to share an image of their meeting with Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta.
Hojlund, 21, has found some form since Ruben Amorim took over, scoring three goals in Man United’s last four games across all competitions, one more than in his previous 14 appearances.
The Danish striker did all he could in Man United’s 3-2 Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest, scoring their first equaliser in the 18th minute.
The youngster has had plenty of opportunities to make the number nine position his own, starting 10 of his 16 appearances across all competitions, scoring five goals, and providing one assist in 920 minutes of action.
Christian Eriksen, 32, has been a key figure under Amorim, starting all four of Manchester United’s matches since the manager’s arrival. Across all competitions this season, he has made ten starts in 14 appearances, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 882 minutes of action.
