Rasmus Hojlund issues apology after being haunted by Manchester Utd fans following Porto draw

Following Manchester United’s disappointing 3-3 draw against Porto in the Europa League, Rasmus Højlund took to Instagram with a celebratory caption: “Fortunately, I had a period of six weeks where I could practice celebration.”.

While Højlund had scored a goal in the match, which could be a personal achievement for him, the post did not go well with the fans, who are now getting impatient with the poor performance of the team.

Fan Backlash and Rasmus Hojlund Apology

United supporters frustrated by results like the goalless draw with Crystal Palace, a tie with FC Twente, and a big loss to Tottenham took their anger out on Højlund’s post.

The Danish striker, responding to the backlash, reposted his apologies, adding, “I’ve seen some anger regarding the post I’ve made yesterday, and no, I didn’t mean that.” i was only happy to be back out there on the scoresheet again after a tough few weeks.”

In an earlier report from Sportsbuddy, before his injury, the Danish striker shared a photo of himself eating a piece of meat with the caption, “That’s how hungry I am for the season to begin.”

Looking Ahead to Aston Villa

With Manchester United’s performances under scrutiny, Højlund will look to bounce back and help the team turn their fortunes around when they face Aston Villa this weekend.

With fans getting impatient, the team will have to make a telling response on the pitch to bring pressure off manager Erik Ten Hag.
