Rasmus Hojlund says Erik ten Hag retains the dressing room\u2019s support as misfiring Manchester United look to kickstart their stumbling season.<\/p>\n
A promising first campaign under the Dutchman brought Carabao Cup glory and Champions League qualification but things have gone awry this term.<\/p>\n
United sit eighth in the Premier League, have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup and suffered their ninth defeat in 17 matches on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
The late 4-3 loss at Copenhagen damages their chances of reaching the Champions League knockout phase but Hojlund says the squad believe Ten Hag will turn things around.<\/p>\n
\u201cA really good coach,\u201d the 20-year-old summer signing said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe cares about every single detail, and he helps me a lot, gives me a lot of confidence and supports me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think every player in the dressing room support him. I hope it is just a matter of time (before we will be successful).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first 30 minutes today was some of the best football we have been playing this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hojlund\u2019s first-half brace had put United in control against his former club, only for Marcus Rashford\u2019s debatable red card and two contentious goals to change the dynamics.<\/p>\n
We need a little luck at the moment. We miss the small things<\/p>\n
\u201cNot so good,\u201d the Denmark striker said of his emotions after the chastening 4-3 loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cA special game for me. It was nice to score two goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, having said that, it is a shame that we concede a red card because we were playing very well in the first 20-25 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about the decisions that went against United on Wednesday, Hojlund said: \u201cWe need a little luck at the moment. We miss the small things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wednesday\u2019s loss leaves the Red Devils bottom of Group A with a trip to Galatasaray and home clash against already-qualified Bayern Munich remaining.<\/p>\n
Premier League matters now take precedence as Ten Hag\u2019s men look to build on their stoppage-time win at Fulham last weekend at home to Luton on Saturday.<\/p>\n
It is United\u2019s final match before the international break and is set to see more Old Trafford protests against the Glazer family.<\/p>\n
Nothing has been finalised in terms of the club\u2019s future direction nearly a year on from the controversial owners\u2019 announcement of a strategic review.<\/p>\n
A potential full sale seems to have been put on ice, while Sir Jim Ratcliffe is understood to be closing in on a deal to purchase around 25 per cent of the club.<\/p>\n
The 1958 fan group are planning more protests against the Glazer family ahead of the Luton match as they call for the American owners to relinquish full control.<\/p>\n
After demonstrations were paused following the death of United great Sir Bobby Charlton, a protest is planned from 2pm at the North West Quadrant towards the back of the Stretford End.<\/p>\n
Steve Crompton, a spokesman for The 1958, said: \u201cThe fight remains in full force.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a natural impasse to reflect the sad passing of Sir Bobby but we will never give up until the greedy Glazers have been removed from our club in their entirety.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet there be no doubt. The fight is not over. In many ways it\u2019s only just begun.\u201d<\/p>\n
