Premier League legend has shared sympathy for one Manchester United star after the 2-0 defeat to Wolves.
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has expressed sympathy for Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund.
Owen believes that Hojlund is playing in the most challenging position in the league right now - center forward for Manchester United.
Hojlund, who joined the Red Devils from Atalanta in the summer of 2023, has struggled to perform consistently.

Man Utd boss Amorim adds two players to Rashford on January exit list after Wolves defeat
Ruben Amorim has reportedly identified two more players to leave the club alongside Marcus Rashford in the January transfer window.
Owen, speaking to Premier League Productions, felt sorry for Hojlund, saying:
)
"Hojlund... I feel so sorry for the lad. That first half, six passes he received, four of them from defenders so in other words four of them are probably hopeful, long passes and two passes in the first half from a player who you would want to receive a pass off. And he's supposed to do something with that."
"I can't judge him as a player, I don't know if he's good or bad, and that's the most damning thing you could say because after watching him for a year.
"I just feel as if he's playing in possibly the hardest position in the Premier League to play in at the moment - centre forward for Manchester United - I never thought I'd be saying that."
Hojlund faced similar struggles as United lost 2-0 to Newcastle on Monday night, failing to impact the game, despite playing for 90 minutes.
