Schmeichel: Man United System Failed Hojlund
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel shared his thoughts on Rasmus Hojlund's struggles at the club.
Schmeichel believes Hojlund could have been a top goalscorer if the team's system had supported him better.
He pointed out that the team didn't pass the ball to Hojlund often, even though he was making good runs.
Despite not scoring many goals, Hojlund worked hard and gave his all on the field.
Hojlund has now moved to Napoli, where he has scored a goal.
Schmeichel feels the team's focus on individual shots, rather than feeding the striker, prevented Hojlund from succeeding at Man United.
