Armando Broja told to follow Rasmus Hojlund blueprint as Chelsea loanee waits for chance

Fulham boss Marco Silva has told Armando Broja he must «wait for his chance» as the striker finds himself playing second fiddle to the in-form Rodrigo Muniz.

He’s working hard at a different club with a different style and he needs time to adapt and understand things. It takes time but we can see his quality.”

Rasmus Hojlund continued his goal-scoring streak with two goals in United's 2-1 win over Luton on Sunday, making it six games in a row. Silva praised the young striker, saying he's got what it takes to shine at Old Trafford.
