Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund was reportedly frustrated with Bruno Fernandes in their FA Cup semifinal win over Coventry City. The forward scored the winning penalty in the game after Coventry managed to score three goals in the second half to make it 3-3 from 3-0 down.
Hojlund was displeased with the lack of service he was getting from his teammates, in particular, the captain, Fernandes. A similar situation occured earlier this season with Diogo Dalot, when the right-back wasn’t passing to Hojlund enough in United’s 4-3 loss against Copenhagen.

The Danish forward made the move this past summer from Atalanta for £72 million, and was unable to get off the mark for months in the Premier League. However, he eventually found his feet at Old Trafford and has now scored seven goals in 24 Premier League games, with the number rising to 13 across all competitions.
Fernandes, similarly, has been on a scoring run of his own after a long dry patch. The midfielder scored against Liverpool, Chelsea, a double against Bournemouth as well as Coventry, in what was a great April for the Portuguese.
The two men have now put the matter behind them, and are now set to focus on the rest of the season, which consists of a race for European spots, as well as the FA Cup final against their rivals, Manchester City.
