Why was Rasmus Hojlund missing from the Manchester United lineup against Nottingham Forest?

Rasmus Hojlund grabbing his first Premier League goal has helped Manchester United maintain a Boxing Day record

If it wasn’t for Rasmus Hojlund Manchester United would have lost yesterday’s game against Aston Villa. Fans of the club will feel a sense of gratitude towards the Danish striker who has helped them maintain their Boxing Day record.

Manchester United throughout their club’s history have never lost a home game on Boxing Day. If it weren’t for the heroics of Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund this statement would’ve looked very different.

What was all set to be a one-sided thrashing was heroically saved by the Red Devils. Their excellent show of strength and resilience spells good things to come for the club.

Their win against Aston Villa has helped them put three points on the board. Manchester United are now sitting comfortably at the sixth spot on the Premier League table.

Their goal of a top 4 finish looks very real. Despite the horrendous campaign that he’s been having Erik Ten Hag did not give up or fold to his critics. Their miraculous win will echo over Old Trafford over the upcoming weeks.

The team is now set to take on Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Manchester United will be looking to grab an extra three points against them as well. The team must end their year on a high note.
