Ferdinand, speaking before Manchester United’s clash with Everton, suggested that confidence has drained from the team’s forward line, saying, “Confidence has obviously left the building in terms of the striker department. They have not got great options in terms of numbers either.”
Rasmus Hojlund has scored only two goals in the Premier League this season for Man United.
With Amad Diallo out for the season and both Marcus Rashford and Antony leaving in January, United’s attacking depth has been severely weakened.
Ferdinand’s frustration with Hojlund’s playing style
Beyond the lack of confidence, Ferdinand believes Hojlund’s tendency to constantly engage in physical battles with defenders is working against him.

The former Premier League champion with Manchester United said, “One of the things with Hojlund, watching him I get frustrated because he is always trying to fight the defender and have contact.”
“Sometimes release yourself from contact so when you have someone against you it is easier to take the ball and get into areas where you will affect the game, in between the posts and in the box.”
