Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has opened about the struggles of striker Rasmus Hojlund who is yet to score in the Premier League this season.

The 20-year-old joined the Red Devils from Atalanta in a deal reportedly worth £64 million in the last transfer window after scoring 16 times last season.

Hojlund has bagged five goals in the UEFA Champions League group stages, but he has failed to score in 13 league encounters.

Ten Hag, however, does not seem worried about the Danish striker's goal drought 

"We are open, he is open. His mentality is great. I think he is a very good performer under stress and he deals with that," Ten Hag said at his news conference, as per ESPN.

"But it's not only about Rasmus Højlund, it's about Marcus Rashford, it's also about [Alejandro]Garnacho, it's also about Antony, it's also about Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay.

"Don't forget our full backs, who have to play a big part in that. 

"I'm sure we will improve and especially if our squad is full. If it is better balanced, we should create more chances."
