Manchester United fans have slammed Rasmus Hojlund on X after he had a poor performance in their 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, April 13.

The Cherries took the lead in the 16th minute after Dominic Solanke took advantage of Willy Kambwala's slip, firing the ball into the bottom-left corner past Andre Onana. However, Bruno Fernandes struck the ball into the roof of the net 15 minutes later to level the scores.

Justin Kluivert gave Bournemouth the lead in the 36th minute with a fine finish. Manchester United were rewarded a penalty in the 64th minute after Kobbie Mainoo's effort struck the arm of Adam Smith inside the box. Fernandes made no mistake from the spot to complete his brace and secure a point for his side.

Manchester United fans were furious with Rasmus Hojlund's performance. The 21-year-old didn't pose much of a threat, garnering a rating of just 6.6 (via FotMob). Moreover, he had zero shots, created no chances for his team, and lost five duels.

One fan accused him of being a WWE star rather than a footballer, posting:

"Hojlund is more of a WWE star than a footballer. All he does is wrestle players."

Another fan believes that Hojlund's purple patch is now over:

"Rasmus Hojlund sijui niseme nini. Purple patch is over MF you're a fraud."
