Shearer – Man United Demanding Too Much From Hojlund

Former England captain Alan Shearer says Manchester United are putting more pressure on Rasmus Hojlund by demanding too much from him.

Hojlund is currently out with a hamstring, with his return not expected until the end of the month.

Shearer told the Rest is Football podcast: “I feel a bit sorry for him. He shouldn’t be in the position he is in, in terms of the fee that’s been paid for him and the pressure that is on him.

“He should be one that is in, then out, using him as a substitute and starting him here and there. They should have a big hitter in there so I do have a bit of sympathy for him.

“I do see that there is a potential goal-scorer in there. He will be having sleepless nights because of what is happening in front of goal in the Premier League.

“It looks like he’ll be injured now with his hamstring, but there’s definitely something there.
