Ruben Amorim 'really happy' with Rasmus Hojlund despite struggling striker's nightmare showing as Man Utd slump to defeat against Chelsea

FIFA Club World Cup

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-chelsea-rasmus-hojlund-noussair-mazraoui/bltfaafc2ee92ddf0c9" target="_blank">Hojlund regularly struggled to hold the ball up at Stamford Bridge</a> and received more than one telling-off from skipper Bruno Fernandes as he struggled to make an impact, but Amorim defended his forward after the final whistle.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim told reporters: "I’m happy. Of course all the team has to improve, but the way he runs, he fights for every ball, loses a lot of duels, wins some duels. But he is improving. I’m really happy with him, he just needs to continue working hard and better things will come."</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>Hojlund's form has been poor all season, the Dane scoring only 11 goals in 56 appearances and two in his last 12. United have been linked with a move to sign a striker this summer, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-hold-key-liam-delap-transfer-advantage-over-chelsea-but-hopes-of-signing-ipswich-striker-may/blt03f33048a9a84fbc" target="_blank">notably Liam Delap from Ipswich</a>, meaning Hojlund's future at the club seems uncertain.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amorim has a big decision to make on whether to start Hojlund in the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday, with silverware and Champions League qualification on the line.</p>
