Wayne Rooney expressed faith in Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, noting his efforts during a draw with Arsenal despite missed chances. Hojlund has faced challenges adapting to the Premier League, netting only two goals in 23 appearances, yet shines in the Europa League with five goals from nine outings. Rooney highlighted Hojlund's good movement and opportunity creation, albeit acknowledging the player's lack of confidence that affects his finishing. Rooney remains optimistic about Hojlund's prospects as he continues to develop within the team.
"There was one chance where his shot was blocked after he had shown fantastic movement to get to the near post."
"The one that will be highlighted, though, is the one where Rice gets back and tackles him after the ball breaks for him in the area, and that was purely down to a lack of confidence."
