Following Manchester United’s 1-0 Premier League loss to Wolves last weekend, Shearer described Højlund as a ‘damaged’ player.
According to him, the striker is still not ready to start at the front of Manchester United’s assault. He was formerly at Atalanta.
Nevertheless, Ferdinand suggested that Højlund regain his self-assurance by utilizing United’s wingers more effectively.
What an incredible piece of advice the ex-England defender would give to any player who is feeling down in the dumps, he remarked on the Rio Present podcast.

Reduce complexity and stick to what has worked thus far. He must speak to the winger and explain his needs. I would prefer this when you are in these positions.
Currently, Højlund is going through a tough patch at Manchester United this season. The Danish international’s goal total for Manchester United in the Premier League is a meager three.
