- Hojlund has not scored in 19 games for United and is in a torrid patch of form
- The Amorim side now faces the Title PERVITY Arsenal at Old Trafford
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Is Alisson the best goalkeeper of the Premier League?
Ruben Amorim has opened why he has decided to drop in Rasmus Hojlund to the bench before Manchester United's clash against Arsenal.
Hojlund has not enjoyed The Green's career since the arrival of Amorim's Old Trafford in November and does not have a goal from the Premier League since mid-December, where he got a 3-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest.
The man of £ 72 million has accumulated his fair part of critics, and some described him as one of the less value signings for money in recent memory.
With only two league strikes to his name this term, Amorim has made the decision to drop the Danish in the midst of his drought of 19 games.
However, the Portuguese chief has insisted that the shape is not the reason behind his bank.
“No, it's freshness,” he said. 'I think I was really tired at the end of the game. And we tried different things.

'We know that the opposition, the two centrals, what they want, what they like. And we try to do different things to surprise the opponent.
Hojlund played the full 90 minutes when United faced the Royal Society in the first leg of its Europa League the last 16 draw last week.
It was the Danish attack partner who packaged the only goal of the Red Devils, with Joshua Zirkzee catching the society's cap to give United the leadership in Spain.
However, a handball against Bruno Fernandes gave the hosts the opportunity to match from the place, an opportunity that Mikel Oyarzabal, who went to Andre Onana, cheerfully assumed Mikel Oyarzabal, who went to Andre Onana to put things in terms in the second stage in Manchester.
United, who is decreasing at 15 at the table, now faces the title test chasing Arsenal, who despite lacking a striker showed his scorer skill in the Champions League on Tuesday, shooting seven against PSV.
The Gunners make the trip to Old Trafford, a stadium that once considered a fortress, but now that is just that, with the house of Man United is a gloomy reading for Amorim.
While they scored Ipswich threatened by the descent the last time in the League, they have suffered defeats at home to the tastes of Crystal Palace, Brighton and more recently Fulham in the FA Cup, all since the new year.
While a gigantic accessory, regardless of the current way, United will have to produce a shock to leave as winners against Mikel Arteta's side if they seek to jump again on the fallen Tottenham giants, who came from two behind to save a point against Bournemouth today.
