Rasmus Hojlund is yet to score in the Premier League but Man Utd are looking for him to solve their goalscoring problems this season.
Manchester United's Saturday afternoon in west London ended in delight, but until the celebrations that followed Bruno Fernandes' late winner one of the abiding images from Craven Cottage had been Rasmus Hojlund's dejection in being replaced with 11 minutes to go.
Assessing Hojlund's impact since his £72million arrival from Atalanta is difficult. There have been promising moments and passages of play where he has looked the real deal. That was most evident with his brilliant second goal against Galatasaray, but his hold-up play has been smart and some of his touches excellent.
When United completed the deal for Hojlund, there was a glimpse that this was a player who still had elements to work on in his game. There was always going to be pressure on Hojlund this season of the type he has never experienced previously. That comes with the territory of being United's striker. But it's now being amplified because of a lack of goals. The club's forwards have just six between them this season and Hojlund is responsible for half of those - all in the Champions League.
