Hojlund ended the 2023/24 season as Man United's top scorer with 16 goals in debut campaign but missed the start of the 2024/25 due to injury.

Why is Hojlund getting criticism?

The Man United striker is known for his creative and funny captions, but it seems his latest one hasn't been received well.

He scored his team's second goal in the first half thanks to Marcus Rashford's through pass and shared a message on his Instagram.

"Luckily I had 6 weeks to practice my celebration. A win would’ve made it perfect."

Over 4000 fans commented on the post, and it wasn't what the young striker was expecting.

The Red Devils are in a difficult spot. They have made a poor start to the season, and coach Erik ten Hag is close to getting fired.

Therefore, the mood among the fans is sombre, especially considering that Man United blew a 2-0 lead against Porto.

What did fans say to Hojlund

Although some fans felt it was a funny post, many felt he should've read the room.

@Chazlillis:

"Concentrate on the footy not the captions Razzy, I love ya lad but cmon."

@Nebiyou_14

"Read the room fella."

@Sbuzi

"Are you serious?? Work on your first touch, no time to play here."

@Wat Rutledge:

"Good goal and funny caption but we need to be better Rasmus!"

@Aryan Yugpurush:

"Bro have some shame. It’s a Europa League game and that too against Porto. Pipe down and focus on playing well in the league and more importantly, staying fit."

Man United players agree on their next manager
