Men's Football Hojlund says Manchester United must stick together in tough period

RASMUS HOJLUND says Manchester United must stick together if they are to emerge from a tough period that has put Erik ten Hag’s side under intense scrutiny and pressure.

Having won the League Cup, reached the FA Cup final and finished third in the league during the Dutchman’s first campaign in charge, things have gone dramatically awry this term.

United have lost four of their opening seven matches for the first time in the Premier League era and are pointless after their first two Champions League group games.

There was no disgrace in the 4-3 loss at Bayern Munich a fortnight ago, but Tuesday’s 3-2 collapse at home to a Galatasaray side that had never won in England before is something else.

“Of course it’s not about the individual performance,” the Danish striker, signed in August, said. “It’s about getting the three points, and at the moment we’re not doing good enough.

“We’ve had a few games now where they just score after we scored. We need to go back and analyse that tomorrow and talk about it in the group.

“Of course, it’s a tough period now but we need to stick together and that’s the only way we can get out of this period.”
