“You’re a fraud”, “More of a WWE star than a footballer” - Fans blast Manchester United star for ‘woeful’ display in 2-2 Bournemouth draw
Manchester United fans have slammed Rasmus Hojlund on X after he had a poor performance in their 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, April 13.
The Cherries took the lead in the 16th minute after Dominic Solanke took advantage of Willy Kambwala's slip, firing the ball into the bottom-left corner past Andre Onana. However, Bruno Fernandes struck the ball into the roof of the net 15 minutes later to level the scores.
Justin Kluivert gave Bournemouth the lead in the 36th minute with a fine finish. Manchester United were rewarded a penalty in the 64th minute after Kobbie Mainoo's effort struck the arm of Adam Smith inside the box. Fernandes made no mistake from the spot to complete his brace and secure a point for his side.
