Rasmus Hoyleun has revealed why he was able to endure a long period of time to score his first English Premier League (EPL) goal for Manchester United.
Huairun contributed to his team's 3-2 victory by scoring the winning goal in the 19th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) home game against Aston Villa at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on the 27th.
It was a dramatic victory for Manchester United. Having lost two goals first, Manchester United managed to balance the game with Alejandro Garnacho's multiple goals and Rasmus Huairun's winning goal turned the game around to secure their first win in four league games.
He transferred to Manchester United with high expectations from Atalanta last summer. The 64 million-pound transfer fee gave us a glimpse of Manchester United's expectations. However, his EPL goal did not score well. He has been silent for 14 matches and 1,027 minutes since his debut in the EPL, frustrating Manchester United fans.
He did not hide his joy when he scored his EPL debut goal in the match against Aston Villa. "I am the happiest man in the world right now," he said in an interview after the match. Fans and Manchester United legends congratulated him on his debut goal.
Manager Erik tenhach also said, "I am very happy that the strikers scored a goal. The goal was what they needed, and I knew they had that ability. Rashford, Garnacho, and Huairun are all good finishers. They need to show good finishing skills in every game," expressing his expectation for future goals.
Huairun has since been criticized a lot during the scoreless period, but he revealed why he was able to hold out.
The Athletic, a global sports media outlet, reported, "Hoe Irun said he would be crazy if he listened to the doubters."
"I tried to focus on the game every day. I didn't listen to what the media said. If I listened, I would have gone crazy," Hui said, adding that he would not have been able to play soccer normally if he had focused on the voices of criticism from various fields.
"I focused only on my own game and on winning the Manchester United game. I feel relieved to score my first goal in the EPL. However, I have scored no goals at all. I have scored five goals in the European Champions League," he added.
However, despite his debut goal, he needs to score more points in order to make the transfer worth the transfer fee. For Manchester United's rebound, Huairun's performance is absolute. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to show more hot scoring skills for his team's victory.
