Amorim told : “I will not say [he is] relaxed, but he could be a little bit lighter during the week. He now needs to score many more."
He added to : "He knows how much he needs to score goals at this club. If you want to be at a big club like Manchester United, you need to improve every time you step onto the pitch, but it’s not only up to him. Expectations on him are very high, and he has to deal with that. When he doesn’t score, he has to focus on what he needs to do a little bit differently to score.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Hojlund grabbed just his fourth Premier League goal of the season, in a difficult campaign for the 21-year-old. He has been linked with swap moves and a return to Serie A but for now the youngster has been challenged to up his game for United. Whether this is his last season at the club remains to be seen.

Hojlund will hope to get on the scoresheet again when United travel to Athletic Club on Thursday for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.
