There was a lot of expectation placed on Danish forward Rasmus Hojlund when the record Premier League champions paid a massive €73.90 million (R1.5 billion) for his services at the beginning of the season.
The Red Devils had relied a lot on Marcus Rashford last season for goals and with his dip in form during the ongoing campaign, even more pressure was placed on the young Dane's shoulders.
He had no problem finding the back of net in the UEFA Champions League group stages, but struggled domestically as he went 14 league matches without finding the back of the net.

"He wants us to learn off him because he wants to make us better players and he's doing a very great job."
