Rasmus Hojlund sends message to Marcus Rashford's critics

Rasmus Holund has expressed his confidence in his Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford, believing that the "world-class" forward will soon return to his peak form.

Last season, the Englishman had a standout year, netting 30 goals across all competitions. However, in the current campaign, he has struggled, only scoring a single goal.

The 25-year-old has been substituted in his last three outings, and there's a growing chorus of voices advocating for him to relinquish his starting position on the left wing.

During United's recent match against Galatasaray, Hojlund was on the receiving end of an assist from Rashford, marking the first successful connection between the two since the center-forward's transfer from Atalanta.

The Red Devils' fans are hopeful that the partnership between these two players will develop, and in a recent conversation with the Danish media, the Denmark international defended his clubmate against criticism and explained his enjoyment of playing alongside him.

“I really like and enjoy playing with him. He is a world-class player. He's a player I've looked up to, even though he's only a few years older than me. He has done well since he came in as a 19-year-old and scored against Midtjylland. I think he has been a great player ever since, and it is of course great that we are teammates today.”
