Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has advised Rasmus Hojlund to simplify his game as he looks to break his poor form for the Reds.
Hojlund was dropped to the bench for Sunday's clash with Arsenal in the Premier League as Ruben Amorim preferred Joshua Zirkzee to lead the line.
After a difficult performance for the Dutchman, Hojlund was subbed on for the final 14 minutes and may have felt he should have got himself a goal, only for the chance to go begging.

While the Dane has come under plenty of scrutiny, Rooney insisted that he continues to have faith in the forward as he bids to resolve his poor spell.
"There was one chance where his shot was blocked after he had shown fantastic movement to get to the near post," Rooney said on Match of the Day 2.
"To me that really showed how much he needs a goal right now, but all he can do is keep working. I've got faith in him."
"As a striker for Manchester United, when you are not scoring goals there is a lot of pressure and a lot of people questioning if you can do it for United," he added.
"The best thing for Hojlund to do is simplify it.
"Making runs into the penalty box is as easy at it comes. When you are short of confidence you have got to make sure you make it into the penalty area and put yourself in a position where you can score, so that is something he can improve on.
"We are still waiting to see Hojlund find his feet for United, but it's important to point out that the whole team have not been at their best. I feel for him from that point of view because, nine times out of ten, forwards rely on their team-mates for service."
