Hoylund scored 8 goals in 10 games after leaving Manchester United! It was revealed that Amorim found the reason and made a request to the players

Manchester United's center Hoylund, who was rented to Naples, continued his streak of scoring goals. In the Danish national team's 3-1 victory over Greece in the World Cup qualifiers, he opened the scoring for the team with a goal in 21 minutes, making him score in 3 consecutive games for the club and the national team, scoring 4 goals and 1 assist.

It is worth mentioning that Hoylund, who played for 70 minutes, scored a goal with only one shot, with a very high conversion rate. Denmark's victory keeps them top of the group but level on points with Scotland. In the Scottish team, there is another player who has had a similar experience with Hoylund. McTominay also scored in this round of World Cup qualifying.

After Mai joined Naples last year, he became the team's main force and scored double-digit goals. He was elected the Serie A season MVP and was selected for the Ballon d'Or for the first time. Hoylund is replicating the development trajectory of his former team-mate, having scored eight goals in 10 games in all competitions since leaving Manchester United at the buzzer in early September. Naples will use the buyout clause at the end of this season to complete Hoylund's permanent transfer for 40 million euros.

The development and changes of McTominay and Hoylund are the result of a combination of personal confidence, team status and tactical system. Hoylund's two years at Manchester United proved that he is an emotional player who can be smooth sailing once he gains confidence in scoring goals, but can easily languish if he encounters setbacks.

Coupled with the attention and pressure brought by his excessive transfer fee of 72 million pounds, Manchester United at this moment is unable to provide stable environmental support. Therefore, even with the "child's dream", Hoylund's departure is the best choice. In Naples, he is only a player on loan for 5 million euros. Even if he is transferred, he is only worth 40 million euros. Fans will not have high expectations for him.

Keith Wyness, the former CEO of Everton, Aston Villa and Aberdeen, commented: "This is just another example of Manchester United making mistakes. McTominay and Hoylund performed very well in Naples, with new energy and tacit understanding. Manchester United really want to have such a combination now. If they have not played for Manchester United before, Manchester United will definitely consider buying them now! Manchester United has many players who have been eliminated. They will all become very good players in the end. They weren't stupid in buying these players, but considering the system, they were stupid. So, that's the problem with Manchester United, Hoylund is just one example of a good player who didn't get the right environment to showcase himself. ”

The British "Sun" revealed that Amorim also discovered this problem with Manchester United. He hopes that his team can be more stable and stop having ups and downs, which is frightening. Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Burnley is one of the classics. The team took the lead twice, but was equalized by the newly promoted team, and only relied on a penalty kick in stoppage time. Although such a game is very popular, Amorim hopes that the team will be mature and professional, and can defeat the opponent without any surprises like Sunderland.

Amorim believes that Manchester United's ups and downs create twists and turns in their play, making the team nervous all the time, which leads to extreme mental fatigue and is not conducive to long-term performance.

A source said: "Amorim told the Manchester United players that although it was nice to win with drama, he didn't like it. He was more satisfied with the Sunderland game, which was a very professional game and very different from the excruciating and terrible games at the beginning of this season and last season."

The source explained: "He said that this is one of the reasons why the team has been unable to win consecutively. Because Manchester United's game consumes too much energy and brings trouble to itself. Such games can cause heart attacks, harm others and themselves, and make people mentally tired. Maturity and professionalism are what Manchester United urgently needs now."
