RASMUS HOJLUND likely anticipated a moment of celebration after netting a crucial double in the match.

This occasion not only marked Ruben Amorim‘s first home game as the manager of Manchester United, but it also showcased an exhilarating 3-2 comeback victory teeming with attacking brilliance.

Yet after the hard-fought Europa League group win against the Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt, Amorim provided a detailed critique of the striker’s display.

His straightforward verdict was: “He has to improve.”

The Red Devils started the game brightly but found themselves down 2-1, despite an initial lead thanks to a tap-in from Alejandro Garnacho.

Hojlund played a role in that goal, though a major error from goalkeeper Nikita Haikin significantly influenced the match outcome.

Later, the 21-year-old Norwegian leveled the score just before halftime

and scored again in the second half, finishing off Manuel Ugarte‘s cross to secure the 3-2 triumph in the Europa League group stage.

Hojlund celebrated his remarkable opening goal with flair reminiscent of Gladiator scenes.

However, some might contend that Amorim’s critiques were as earnest as any Roman evaluation.

The Portuguese manager remarked on the £72million former Atalanta talent: “He must refine his game; he often takes too many touches when controlling the ball.”

Regardless, Amorim acknowledged two key strengths of the 6ft 3ins forward and provided a largely favorable evaluation.

The ex-Sporting Lisbon coach noted: “He adapted well to transition plays and showed tenacity in the box while scoring. He is indeed a quality player.”

Many supporters were taken aback by Amorim’s forthright comments so soon after his arrival.

One fan expressed: “Calm down Ruben, this was his first match with proper backing, and he scored twice! Shift focus to Rashford and Antony.

Another fan slightly agreed with Amorim, remarking that Hojlund “just holds onto the ball for too long.”

Yet, they added, “If he can work on that and stay on his feet more consistently, he’ll be fantastic.”

There was significant backing for Hojlund, especially under the fresh coaching setup.

One supporter noted: “Amorim is set to mold him into a gem.”

Another affirmed: “Hojlund is a gifted player with enormous potential.”
