Paul Scholes Names Returning Man United DYNAMO Who Could UNLOCK Rasmus Hojlund

United Legend Paul Scholes believes the return of midfield dynamo Christian Eriksen could bring out the best in Rasmus Hojlund, following the striker’s first Premier League goal for the club.

Paul Scholes says Midfield Maestro could ‘be the difference’ for Rasmus Hojlund

Hojlund ended his 1034-minute Premier League dry spell with a crucial debut winner against League Dark Horses Aston Villa on Boxing Day, as United fought valiantly from being two goals down.

While the Danish Striker has failed to find success in the Premier League so far amidst expectations from fans and critics, despite his voluminous contribution to the Champions League, his teammates have been equally criticized for not being able to find him.

11-time Premier League-winning Manchester United Legend Paul Scholes believes returning countryman Christian Eriksen could be the key to unlocking Hojlund’s goalscoring potential.

Eriksen, who was back in the starting XI for the first time since November through a knee injury, is believed to change United into ‘a different team’, as the Red Devils finally see multiple key players return from injury.

“Christian Eriksen being in the team will help.

He makes a big difference. I don’t think he was especially brilliant tonight. But he is the player that when they got the ball – Fernandes as well – they know that if this boy makes. the right run it will come.”

Speaking on the difference the Dane makes to the team:

“Eriksen has been out a long time and he makes a big difference to this team. Varane coming back into the team is good as well. And the quality of Casemiro.“

Speaking on the importance of his creativity:

“I think in three of four weeks this will be a different team.

If we can keep Eriksen fit, I think creativity-wise, he gives his forward a real chance of scoring goals.“

Red Devils to end the year with a BANG

Victory for United sees them close the gap on third-placed Villa to eight points and to just three behind Manchester City, who have two games in hand.

The win comes at the right time as Erik ten Hag looks to put his troubles behind him, amidst scrutinizing new owners and poor form, with returning players and a new style of play.

The Red Devils will look to cap off a tumultuous 2023 with an away win against Nottingham Forest.
