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.
