Højlund Ends 21-Game Drought in United's 3-0 Victory over Leicester

Rasmus Højlund, the 22-year-old striker for Manchester United, finally ended his 21-match goal drought by scoring in a 3-0 victory over Leicester City, his first goal since mid-December. Despite the relief of scoring, Højlund acknowledged that he has not been performing at his best, attributing his struggles to adapting to a new system under manager Rúben Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag in November. He emphasized the importance of improving his overall performances and building a connection with his teammates. The victory, which included goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, extended United's unbeaten run to four matches, although they remain in a disappointing 13th place in the Premier League. Højlund expressed optimism for future performances, stating he is starting to understand his teammates' qualities better and feels more confident. He is hopeful that this goal will kickstart a more productive phase in his season.
