'Concerning'... Ally McCoist worried after watching 20-year-old Man United player tonight despite win

Although Manchester United enjoyed a strong performance and win against Chelsea tonight, Ally McCoist was concerned with one performance.

McCoist was covering the game for Amazon Prime and noticed that one of United’s forwards had barely had a touch.

Replaced in the 84th minute, McCoist was particularly worried by Rasmus Hojlund’s anonymous performance.

Although still adapting to the club and the Premier League, the £72m striker is yet to find any kind of consistency at the club.

And McCoist thought Hojlund would have seen more of the ball in a strong United performance against Chelsea.

He said: “A little bit concerning, probably more concerning as well, is that Manchester United have played really well and have a lot of the ball.

“But we haven’t really seen him have any chance of note.”

Of course, United fans may think any criticism of Hojlund is unnecessary following such a strong result and performance.

Erik ten Hag is bound to be patient with the 20-year-old, but he will also need to see more contribution from his high-profile signing.

Although it hasn’t necessarily worked in the past, perhaps Marcus Rashford may be afforded more chances centrally in the weeks to come.

Alejandro Garnacho was excellent on the left against Chelsea, a performance Patrice Evra particularly enjoyed.

And with Antony likely to also remain in the starting eleven on the right, Rashford could dovetail with Hojlund.

It would be very odd to see the England international out of the side for an extended period, a player who is so crucial for the club.

However, a spot on the bench ultimately seemed like a good call tonight, one that led to a timely three points.

That’s not to say that United couldn’t have won with Rashford in the side, but they certainly didn’t look worse off.

Bournemouth travel to Old Trafford next on Saturday, a chance for ten Hag’s side to show some consistency.

And although McCoist was disappointed with his performance against Chelsea, it would be a surprise if Hojlund was dropped for United.
