In 1999, when Manchester United won the Treble and their first Champions League trophy after 31 years in one of the craziest finals the football world has ever seen, Dwight Yorke was one of the most deserving players, being the top scorer of the campaign with 8 goals. The Trinidadian, who spent 4 years at Old Trafford and scored 48 goals, is considered legend of the club and his words certainly carry weight.Statistik Rasmus Hojlund di 2022/2023 bersama Atalanta:- 34 pertandingan- 10 gol- 2 assistStatistik Rasmus Hojlund di 2023/2024 bersama Manchester United:- 41 pertandingan- 15 gol- 2 assistPerkembangan yang lumayan dari Rasmus Hojlund.

He comes into the Premier League and I’d never heard of him, didn’t know where he came from before. This is a top club. This is no Mickey Mouse club. This is a proper football club. Right now, from what I’ve seen, he’s not where a Man United number nine should be. I’d give his season a 5 out of 10 – and that’s me being generous,” said Yorke to Mail Sport.Tuchel and Pochettino give Manchester United hopeThe legendary striker didn’t stop there.”The fear of playing against Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, Yorke, Cole, Mark Hughes is gone. And now you’ve got Rasmus. It’s nowhere near the level. As a defender, you’re like: “This is going to be a stroll in the park coming to Old Trafford”. That’s never been the case. We used to be a nightmare to defend against with Rooney and Ronaldo, the attackers we had” explained the former United strikerOptimistic Onana: A season to forget but FA Cup could shine some light on itHowever, eventually, Yorke still showed some sympathy for the young Dane, and even had some useful tips for him.”He had a bit of luck to score the goals he managed to score, and that’s fantastic, I’m happy for him. I’m very undecided. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I will see if there’s any progress next season. At 21, he’s coming into a team that’s really struggling and not playing good football, so I feel for him in that sense. As a striker, you can demand the ball and get hold of it. You’ve got to teach him these roles, how to play. Playing with your back to goal is probably the hardest position in football, so you’ve got to play side on or come off defenders and receive balls. He seems to spend a lot of time on his back, wrestling against players. You’ve got to be cleverer. When you’re playing as a nine, you’ve got to be clever with your run and movements and how you can con defenders – not get into a wrestling match every time he plays. For me, that’s the issue with him” he said.##NAJAVA_MECA_8123793##
