“I Hope He Doesn’t Score!” – Bruno Fernandes makes a shocking request of Rasmus Højlund After His Goal Drought Ends! Rasmus Højlund finally ended his goal drought in Manchester United’s 3-0 win over Leicester, but Bruno Fernandes has made a shocking request! The United captain praised the striker’s hard work but REVEALED he doesn’t want him scoring AGAIN 😱😱 Why is Fernandes making such a bold statement?
Højlund Ends Goal Drought in Style as United Cruise Past Leicester
Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund finally broke his long goal drought in spectacular fashion during his team’s emphatic 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday night. After enduring a frustrating 21-game spell without scoring, the Danish forward found the net, providing a huge boost for both himself and his teammates.
United captain Bruno Fernandes was thrilled to see Højlund back among the goals but jokingly admitted he doesn’t want the 21-year-old to continue his scoring streak—at least not in their upcoming international fixture. Højlund will be leading Denmark’s attack against Fernandes’ Portugal in the next round of international matches.
“It’s great for us because strikers thrive on goals. They need to feel important and be at the heart of the action,” Fernandes commented after the match. “I’m really happy for him, but I hope he takes a break from scoring—at least until after he plays against me in the national team. When he returns to United, he can start scoring again!”
A Turning Point for Højlund?
Despite criticism for managing only three Premier League goals this season, Højlund has shown positive signs in recent games. His movement, pressing, and link-up play have been strong, and now that he has finally ended his goal drought, fans are eager to see if he can maintain his momentum.
United manager Rúben Amorim praised Højlund’s performance, emphasizing the difficulty of the goal he scored.
“It wasn’t an easy finish—he had to control it well with his right foot under pressure. It’s unfortunate that the international break has come just as we were building confidence,” Amorim said.
Praise from a United Legend
Leicester City manager and former United goal machine Ruud van Nistelrooy also recognized Højlund’s contributions. Known for his own clinical finishing during his time at Old Trafford, Van Nistelrooy acknowledged the threat Højlund posed throughout the match, highlighting his importance to United’s attack.
With his scoring drought now behind him, United fans will be hoping this is just the beginning of a strong run of form for the young striker. His goal must have been a massive relief—not just for him, but for the entire team. Strikers thrive on confidence, and now that he has broken the spell, could this be the start of a consistent goal-scoring run for Højlund?
Bruno Fernandes’ playful comment adds an interesting twist to their upcoming international match. If Højlund can carry this confidence into his national team duties and then bring it back to United, he might just be on the verge of a breakthrough. Could this be the moment he finally finds his st
ride at Old Trafford?
