MU fans demand to eliminate 2 players in Europa League final

Some "Red Devils" fans are concerned about the performance of Hojlund and Garnacho after the recent Europa League semi-final.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund continued to show poor form in both semi-final matches. The rare bright spot of this striker was the goal that raised the score to 3-1 for MU against Bilbao in the semi-final second leg in the early morning of May 9. However, this was still not enough to dispel the doubts of fans.

Alejandro Garnacho has also caused controversy on social media due to his inconsistent form. Many fans have expressed doubts about the ability of Hojlund and Garnacho to coordinate. One fan on social media wrote: "I believe Hojlund and Garnacho don't get along." Another shared: "We can't win the final with Hojlund, Garnacho and Onana."

Another account expressed disappointment: "Hojlund cannot start in the final. MU will pay the price if he plays."

Hojlund scored his second goal in three recent games for MU. After 29 Premier League games, he has only scored four goals, which puts him at risk of being sold by MU this summer.

Meanwhile, Garnacho also disappointed. Against Bilbao, Garnacho did not score or assist any goals. He was also criticized for missing a good chance in the 42nd minute. Patrick Dorgu poked a pass through Bilbao's high defense, but Garnacho could not score when facing goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala./.
