Bruno Fernandes makes a shocking request of Rasmus Højlund After His Goal Drought Ends!
Rasmus Højlund ended his frustrating goal drought in spectacular fashion as Manchester United secured a 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday night. After going 21 games without finding the back of the net, the Danish forward finally broke his barren spell, much to the delight of his teammates and fans. His long-awaited goal was a moment of relief, especially given the scrutiny he has faced over his struggles in front of goal this season.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes was thrilled to see his teammate score again but couldn’t resist a lighthearted remark about the timing. With Denmark set to face Portugal in the upcoming international break, Fernandes jokingly expressed his hope that Højlund doesn’t continue his goal-scoring form—at least not against him. He emphasized how crucial goals are for a striker’s confidence but playfully added that Højlund should save his next one for when he returns to United duty.
Despite criticism over his limited goal tally this season, Højlund has shown promising signs in recent matches. His movement, pressing, and link-up play have been impressive, even when the goals weren’t coming. Now that he has finally found the net again, supporters are eager to see if this marks the start of a more prolific spell for the young forward.
Manager Ruben Amorim also praised Højlund’s contribution, noting that his goal was far from an easy finish. He highlighted the technical skill required to control the ball and convert the chance, expressing some frustration that the international break has come just as the team was building momentum.
Former United striker and current Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy acknowledged Højlund’s impact, recognizing his importance to United’s attacking play. Given Van Nistelrooy’s own reputation as a lethal finisher during his time at Old Trafford, his assessment carries weight.
With the pressure of a long goal drought now behind him, Højlund has a golden opportunity to build on this breakthrough. If he can maintain this confidence, he could become a key player for United as they push for a strong finish to the season. Whether he can continue this form on international duty remains to be seen, but all eyes will be on him when he returns to club action.
