Man Utd duo Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund in furious altercation picked up by TV cameras

was on the receiving end of a dressing-down from just before half-time in Manchester United's dead rubber against West Ham. Neither team had anything to play for at Old Trafford, with pride the only thing on the table. United would have been hoping for a fast start but it was quite the opposite as the Hammers drew first blood.

Tomas Soucek fired the ball home from close range, latching onto a pass from Mohamed Kudus to wrap up a fine team move. The hosts struggled to find their way back into the match with Hojlund missing a good chance to score minutes later. He lost his footing and blazed the ball over the crossbar, prompting a frustrated look from Ruben Amorim on the touchline.

Hojlund continued to struggle for the duration of the first half until one of his team-mates eventually snapped. Just before the half-time whistle, Shaw lost control and screamed at the Dane after he failed to keep control of the ball, shouting: "Ras, come on!"

It has been another turbulent season for Hojlund, who has only managed four Premier League goals since the start of the campaign. He is yet to prove why he should be considered good enough to lead the line for a club of United's stature.

Hojlund's frustrating display against West Ham came just days after he vowed to prove himself 'on the biggest stage', admitting that he has been nowhere near good enough as of late.

"I know what this football club is all about," he said. "It's a lot of pressure, but that's why I'm here. I want to show myself on the biggest stage.

"There have been hard times. When I go without a goal in a lot of games, I wouldn't say I lose self-belief, but you're going to be a bit more down and a bit more frustrated, but then it's about going back to the basics.

"[I need to] focus on what I can and try to improve myself, try to talk with my teammates [about] getting [into] better positions, these sort of things, but when you ride a rough spell, when you come out the other end, that absolutely makes you better."

Reflecting on the campaign as a whole, Hojlund said: "We're very happy about being in the [Europa League] final, but it can't take away the focus from the entire season. Domestically it has not been good enough.

"Then again, we play to win trophies and we are in a good position to win a European one. I think we've been improving in the last few weeks, even though the results in the Premier League have not been overly good, just in Europe."
