The nearest 22 -year -old player came to this occasion, a day when United achieved only two shots in Target, he was failing in centimeters to connect with a low cross of Alejandro Garnacho in the distant post, when a touch would surely have diverted the ball since it was less than a patio.
Apart from that, it was the usual mixture of the industry and the physical will of Hojlund.
The discussion is that you only need a goal to restore trust and make it shoot again. The truth is that, apart from a five -goal streak in four early games in the love of Amorim and eight in eight games in the middle of last season, Hojlund has been little convincing as someone capable of leading the line or having a great impact on a Premier League team.
They simply do not compare with Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Bukayo Saka or even, this season, in any case, Chris Wood in Nottingham Forest.
Amorim cannot offer an opinion without a filter about Hojlund. All you can do is promise to continue working with him, since dropping the Danish is not part of the plan.
“The only way I know is to work on him and show him the videos,” added the head of the United. “You need to score a goal and you won’t score if it’s outside [of the team] So I try to handle that during the games. “
Amorim emphasized the point only that Hojlund should not assume the responsibility or guilt of United’s goals.
Apart from the last three, Everton and West Ham have noted less than their 38 this season.
“If you look at the games, we have several players who lose great opportunities, not just Rasmus,” said Amorim. “Of course, for Rasmus, the game is to score goals because he is a striker, but it is a team thing. Our team should score more goals, not only Rasmus missing opportunities.”
United has now lost eight games at the House of the Premier League this season, his most defeats in Old Trafford in a league campaign since 1962-63. They still have two more opportunities, against West Ham and Aston Villa, to suffer a ninth and equal to the return of six decades ago.
With a tenth of the league campaign, a club record in the Era of the Premier League, Amorim has no choice but to try to eliminate any positive aspect of the unfortunate experience that is happening.
Against Wolves, who focused on the performances of the 20 -year -old central, Tyler Fredricson, who had a solid debut in the first team, and Harry Amass. The 18 -year -old wing once impressed to ask more questions about why he was omitted at the beginning of the campaign when United was desperate by a left -footed player in defense.
Amorim knows the United Bisagras season in his Europa League campaign.
You must find a way to guarantee the victory over Athletic Bilbao in the semifinal and then against Tottenham or Norwegian Side Bodo/Glimt to console a torrid period, where it is difficult even for him to tell fans that everything will be fine at the end.
“We tell fans the truth that we lack many things in our team, that we miss the possibilities, and that if we do not score goals we will not win,” said Amorim, when asked about his message to the followers.
“We have a lot to do and focus on improving the step by step. I understand that until the end of the league it will be like that and then we need to do something.
“Of course we have a plan and talk about that every day, but the season is not over, so let’s focus on that.”
Amorim’s situation was worsened by the Wolves League, the double over them, which sealed its state of the Premier League, and because its rent of Portuguese managers, Vitor Pereira, has had a seismic impact on Molineux in the way United has not experienced.
It was quite instructive, much after Amorim left the scene, listening to Pereira explaining how the club had clear that the descent problem after its arrival in December.
“The most important thing is to create a connection with people,” he said. “That was my first goal. I wanted to bring energy, trust and trust when I look at the players to help me.
“Through the spirit and in our time together, we talk about our lives and create a connection with the followers to make them believe.
“I went through our tactical idea and principles from the first day we worked together. The players know that I like good football, my team playing with the ball. Sometimes it is not possible, but then we need to know how to defend. Today we had a record number of kicks and free corners against us, but in the end they did not score.”
Everything is reduced to scoring at the end. Until Amorim finds an answer to that, United does not go anywhere.
