Roy Keane hit out at Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund for his lack of goals this season before the Danish striker scored the opening goal against Tottenham. 

The 20-year-old has endured a difficult start to his Premier League career having netted just once in 20 appearances. 

His lack of goals drew criticism from United legend Roy Keane before the match against Tottenham at Old Trafford. 

‘You can’t keep waiting for players at Manchester United. He’s missing a lot of clear cut chances’ said Keane on Sky Sports. 

However, Hojlund responded in style by giving United an early lead against Ange Postgecoglou’s side with a powerful strike into the top corner.
