Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim believes Rasmus Hojlund needs better service in order to help alleviate his and the club's goalscoring woes.
The Red Devils host Ipswich on Wednesday bidding to end a three-match winless run in the Premier League, the latest difficult moment in Amorim's troubled start to life at Old Trafford.
Finding the net has been a particularly major issue this season, with United managing just 30 from their 26 in the English top flight campaign so far.
Hojlund has only found the net twice in the league, with his last goal in any competition coming against Viktoria Plzen back on 12 December.
Amorim believes the 22-year-old does have the quality to be United's centre-forward and instead blamed the lack of service to him from the rest of the team.
"I think it's clear, we as a team, we are not helping Rasmus," said Amorim. "We don't create a lot of chances.
"I think Rasmus has a lot of potential. If we improve the way we play the game, he will have more opportunities to score. He came here very young and, when you are very young, to be the number nine and play all the time sometimes is hard.
"We have to look as Rasmus as a player: he has the pace, he has the technique, he scores some goals that are really hard to score. Sometimes he doesn't choose the better runs, sometimes he's so anxious to touch the ball because he passes long minutes without the ball and he moves away from the goal.
"We address that in training. He has the ability, he already showed that here, but I think it's more a team thing than a Rasmus thing."
