Rasmus Hojlund is ‘frustrated’ with his Manchester United teammates and is hated by everyone, according to Paul Parker.
Hojlund finally scored his first Premier League goal in Tuesday’s 3-2 victory over Aston Villa following 1026 minutes of top-flight action.
United legend Paul Scholes felt that Hojlund was ‘lucky to be on the pitch’ after it took him 15 Premier League games to get off the mark.
The Denmark international striker moved to Old Trafford in a deal worth £72m this summer.
‘Everyone hates Manchester United and Rasmus Hojlund,’ Parker told Tipsbladet.
‘Experts and critics hope that he fails because he plays for the world’s biggest club, which nobody likes.
‘The good thing is that the fans have always supported him, and they will continue to do so.

‘I think he has been frustrated with his teammates because they don’t provide him with the best conditions to score goals.
‘The good thing about Hojlund is that he doesn’t show it on the field, and he never behaves like a diva, which we have seen especially Cristiano Ronaldo do in the past.
‘I actually think he could benefit from being more selfish. He should tell Rashford and Garnacho to give him the ball every time they have the opportunity.

‘He is the best player on the team, so they should give him the ball all the time, just like we gave the ball to Eric Cantona all the time when I played.
‘I think he might face a tough time now. If you think the critics will be quiet, you are mistaken. Expectations are higher for him now, and everyone will expect him to score consistently.
‘So, I believe that the next goal, if possible, will be even more important but also more challenging for him because he has to prove that it wasn’t a lucky punch.’
