Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund’s place in Denmark’s national team could soon be in danger according to Danish media.
The forward endured a terrible season where he only scored four domestic goals .
He did fare better in Europe, grabbing six goals in United’s run to the final of the Europa League.
As a result, United are said to be keen to add further firepower to their squad this season and have been heavily linked to a move for Sporting CP striker, Viktor Gyokeres.
Hojlund’s poor form has transferred over to international football as he put in a terrible performance against Northern Ireland on Saturday despite his side winning 2-1.
Consequently, the 22 year old forward was dropped to the bench for Denmark’s friendly clash with Lithuania and the Danish media were drooling over his replacement, Mika Biereth.
It only took the Monaco striker 12 minutes to fire in his side’s opener and his night’s work was given an eight out of 10 by Danish outlet Bold.
Analysing Hojlund’s replacement they claimed, “the Monaco striker already showed with his diving header against Northern Ireland how dangerous he is in the box. On Tuesday night, Mika Biereth only had to spend 12 minutes on the pitch in Odense before he put Denmark 1-0 up.”
“He then provided an assist, drew a red card and was constantly poisonous near the goal. Rasmus Højlund must be shaking in his pants right now. He has been overtaken.”
Hojlund was subbed on after 72 minutes but failed to get a rating from the outlet for not making enough impression on the game.
Sofascore did give him a rating of 6.9, as he completed four passes and had one shot on goal and one effort off target, failing to score once again for his national side.
Inter Milan have been linked with making a move for the out-of-sorts forward but after the Denmark game on Saturday, he claimed that his future was at Old Trafford and he was committed to the project at the club.
