Owen Hargreaves, who used to play soccer for Manchester United, thinks that Erik ten Hag, the team’s coach, is a bit worried. Why? He’s worried about a player named Rasmus Hojlund getting too tired because he has been playing a lot. They have a big game with a team called West Ham United this weekend.
Hargreaves talked about this after a game where Manchester United played against Fenerbahce. That game ended with a 1-1 tie on Thursday.
Rasmus, who is from Denmark, played in this game. He didn’t start the game but joined in during the second half, taking over for Joshua Zirkzee.
While talking on TNT Sports, Hargreaves shared his thoughts. He said, “Coach Ten Hag is thinking about how much Rasmus is playing. He wants to make sure Rasmus is ready and not too tired for the important game with West Ham.”
He continued, “The game ended in a fair tie. Right now, Manchester United isn’t playing its best, so winning is tough.”
He added, “Getting only three points after playing three games in the Europa League isn’t very good.”
With these thoughts, we understand that the coach has to balance using players wisely so they’re not too tired, especially when facing tough matches.
