Man Utd striker Rasmus Hojlund was unhappy with the rough treatment he received while on international duty this week.
For a side that is already experiencing an injury crisis, the last thing Manchester United wanted to see was their star striker also picking up a knock on international duty this week. Thankfully, Rasmus Hojlund looks to have come through the break unscathed, but the rough treatment he received against San Marino on Tuesday night was certainly plenty of cause for concern.
This accusation was denied by San Marino players, particularly defender Roberto Di Maio, who was shown a yellow card when he mistimed a challenge for the ball and ended up kneeing Hojlund in the back. There is also an irony in Di Maio's outdated calls for Hojlund to 'man up' when he cowardly targeted his back as a possible weak point, given the striker's recent injury concerns there. With the United forward clearly the most dangerous threat on the Danish side, his card was marked from the get-go as the San Marino defenders looked to limit his movement and frustrate him in the process.
The United forward has already missed three matches through injury this season, and at such a young age, the key to fulfilling his huge potential could hinge on his fitness, which takes both a bit of luck and protection from referees. He was well within his rights to hit out at his opponents after the match, but the best way to do his talking is on the pitch, just as he did with his well-taken goal on Tuesday night.
