Last night, Rasmus Hojlund, the rising star of Manchester United, had a Champions League horror show as it was revealed that he did not have a single touch in the penalty area against Bayern Munich.

A Promising Start, Followed by a Blanking Streak

After a remarkable start to his Champions League journey with Man Utd, scoring five goals in his first four games, Hojlund failed to find the back of the net in his final two matches.

A Frustrating Night against Bayern Munich

Against Bayern Munich, Hojlund appeared isolated and struggled to make an impact. He did not manage to have a single touch in the Bayern penalty box. The Red Devils had only one shot on target throughout the evening, making it a relatively easy night for Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Disappointing Stats Line

Hojlund's performance was further marred by his shocking stat line. He did not take a single shot at goal, completed just nine passes, and lost six out of eight duels he competed in.

Bullied by Bayern Centre-Backs

Some fans even accused Hojlund of being "bullied" by Bayern centre-backs Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min Jae. The latter was linked with a transfer to Man Utd in the summer.

A Striker Out of His Comfort Zone

Hojlund's struggles were exacerbated by his inability to get involved in the box. Instead, he was forced to drop deep to link play, which is not his natural playing style.

Looking Ahead: Breaking the Goal Drought

Now, Hojlund will be hoping to break his goal drought in the Premier League, as he has gone 12 games without finding the back of the net. Man Utd's next challenge is against Liverpool at Anfield, a ground where they haven't won since January 2016.

Injury Concerns for Man Utd

Adding to the pressure, Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag may be without key defenders Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw for the Liverpool clash, as both players went off injured against Bayern Munich.
