Owen Hargreaves Raises Concerns Over Rasmus Hojlund’s Workload Ahead of West Ham Clash
Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has expressed concerns regarding the workload of striker Rasmus Hojlund as the team prepares for its upcoming Premier League match against West Ham United. Hargreaves’ comments followed Manchester United’s recent 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce in the Europa League, during which Hojlund made a second-half appearance.
In his remarks on TNT Sports, Hargreaves stated, “He [Ten Hag] is worried about Hojlund and his minutes; he knows he needs him for West Ham at the weekend.” This sentiment underscores the increasing pressure on Manchester United’s management as they navigate a challenging season.
The former England international also reflected on United’s recent performance, deeming their results in the Europa League insufficient. “Three points after three [Europa League] games isn’t good enough, clearly,” he noted, capturing the prevailing sentiment of discontent among fans and analysts alike.
As Erik ten Hag prepares his squad for the encounter with West Ham, it remains to be seen how he will manage Hojlund’s minutes while seeking a much-needed victory in the league.

The pair played 49 matches together, with their combined efforts resulting in seven goals. Talisca concluded by stating that the experience of leading Al Nassr’s attack with Ronaldo is something he will cherish for the rest of his life.

Inter Miami, led by Messi, were unable to secure a victory against Al Ahly in their initial match.
Inter Miami and Al Ahly played to a scoreless draw in the opening match of the 2025 Club World Cup. The match, held at Hard Rock Stadium, saw Al Ahly begin strongly, but Inter Miami’s goalkeeper, Oscar Ustari, proved to be a formidable barrier. Ustari notably saved Trezeguet’s first-half penalty, denying the Egyptian side an early lead. Lionel Messi showed flashes of brilliance in the second half, but Al Ahly’s goalkeeper, El Shenawy, thwarted Inter Miami’s attempts to score. Both teams will continue their Club World Cup campaign on June 19, with Inter Miami facing Porto and Al Ahly playing against Palmeiras.
Recent reports from within Galatasaray, courtesy of Ali Naci Küçük, shed light on the conditions set by Victor Osimhen regarding his potential continued presence at the club. Apparently, Osimhen seeks assurance of a strengthened squad, exemplified by the acquisition of high-caliber players.
Küçük revealed that the recent signing of Leroy Sané from Bayern Munich was, in fact, a strategic move to satisfy Osimhen’s demands. Sané’s imminent arrival, on a 3-year deal, underscores Galatasaray’s ambition to build a competitive team. The club has reportedly offered Osimhen a substantial €14 million salary, inclusive of bonuses, as they endeavor to retain the prolific striker who previously scored 37 goals in 41 appearances during a loan spell.
Osimhen, however, remains deliberate in his decision-making process, urging patience. Galatasaray’s management is seemingly amenable to Osimhen’s requests, acknowledging the necessity of a strong team to secure his commitment.
