Despite scoring five times in the Champions League group stages for them, the star has struggled so far domestically.

However, he finally ended his 1016 minute and 15 game drought by scoring the winner in the 3-2 victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Hojlund has faced some criticism from for his lack of Premier League goals, with Paul Scholes stating that he was “lucky to be on the pitch” after his barren run.

However, former England full-back Parker, who won the title twice and the double under Sir Alex Ferguson in the 90s, told Tipsbladet: “Everyone hates Manchester United and Rasmus Hojlund.

“Experts and critics hope that he fails because he plays for the world’s biggest club, which nobody likes.

“The good thing is that the fans have always supported him, and they will continue to do so.

“I think he has been frustrated with his team-mates because they don’t provide him with the best conditions to score goals.”

Parker added: “The good thing about Hojlund is that he doesn’t show it on the field, and he never behaves like a diva, which we have seen especially Cristiano Ronaldo do in the past.

“I actually think he could benefit from being more selfish. He should tell Rashford and Garnacho to give him the ball every time they have the opportunity.

“He is the best player on the team, so they should give him the ball all the time, just like we gave the ball to Eric Cantona all the time when I played.

“I think he might face a tough time now. If you think the critics will be quiet, you are mistaken.

“Expectations are higher for him now, and everyone will expect him to score consistently.

“So, I believe that the next goal, if possible, will be even more important but also more challenging for him because he has to prove that it wasn’t a lucky punch.”
