EPL: Rio Ferdinand names five wingers who would help Hojlund score for Man Utd

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has named five Premier League wingers who would have helped Rasmus Hojlund improve his goalscoring.

They are Jarrod Bowen, Michael Olise, Jacob Murphy, Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeil.

Hojlund does not have a league goal to his name in 12 appearances since his £72 million move from Atalanta in the summer.

The Denmark international endured another frustrating game as United were thrashed 3-0 by Bournemouth last Saturday.

Ferdinand believes a lack of service from United’s wide players is to blame for Hojlund’s lack of goals in the league this season.

“If Man United had [Michael] Olise, Jack Harrison, [Dwight] McNeil at Everton, Jacob Murphy at Newcastle – any one of those four wingers, I reckon he [Hojlund] would have five or six goals by now.

“Why? Because they cross the ball. All four of those boys, their first thought is, get the ball, head down, either beat the full-back and cross or give me a yard and cross the ball,” Ferdinand said on Vibe With Five.
