Rasmus Højlund was visibly frustrated with Amad Diallo during Manchester United’s match against Wolves, particularly in the 41st minute. After Højlund had set up a promising opportunity just outside the box, Diallo opted to take a shot rather than pass the ball to his teammate, who was in a better position to score. The attempt was blocked, and Højlund’s anger was clear as he reacted in fury, signaling his displeasure to Amad.

This wasn’t the first instance of tension between the two, as a similar dispute occurred a few weeks earlier against Viktoria Plzen. In the Wolves match, Højlund, who played for 79 minutes, had just 14 touches and failed to get a single touch inside the box—highlighting United’s struggles to create effective chances.

While Højlund’s conversion rate is solid, with two league goals from 1.89 expected goals, the lack of opportunities has been a major issue for United. 

Even when they lead in expected goals, they have failed to provide enough chances for their striker, leaving him frustrated. Coach Ruben Amorim faces a critical task in fixing this creative deficiency to maximize Højlund’s potential.
