BREAKING NEWS: Roy Keane Slams Rasmus Højlund After Chelsea Defeat—Calls for Striker Shake-Up at Manchester United.

Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge has reignited criticism over the club’s attacking woes, with former captain Roy Keane delivering a scathing assessment of striker Rasmus Højlund’s performance.

Keane, speaking as a pundit, did not mince words: “Rasmus Højlund just isn’t showing the quality Manchester United need right now. He lacks football intelligence, and this has to be looked into.”

The Danish forward, who joined United for £72 million from Atalanta in 2023, has struggled to make an impact in the Premier League. Despite showing promise in European competitions, Højlund has managed only a handful of goals domestically and has often appeared isolated and ineffective in matches.

In the recent loss to Chelsea, Højlund failed to register a single shot on target, contributing to United’s lackluster offensive display. This performance adds to a growing list of underwhelming outings, raising questions about his suitability as United’s leading striker.

Keane’s critique echoes sentiments from other football analysts who have pointed out Højlund’s decision-making and positioning as areas of concern. The striker’s inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities has been a recurring issue, leading to calls for Manchester United to consider alternative options in the attacking department.

With the summer transfer window approaching, speculation is mounting that United may seek to bolster their forward line. Names like Dusan Vlahovic have been linked to the club, suggesting that the management is exploring options to enhance their attacking prowess.

As Manchester United prepares for the upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham, the pressure is on Højlund to deliver and silence his critics. However, if his current form persists, the club may be compelled to make significant changes to their attacking lineup in the near future.
