Hojlund wore a smartwatch during the competition.

Rasmus Hojlund experienced an unusual situation during Manchester United's 0-1 defeat to Chelsea in the 37th round of the Premier League on the morning of May 17th.

Hojlund's bizarre and comical situation.

The Danish striker started at Stamford Bridge, just days before the Europa League final against Tottenham. However, early in the second half, with the score tied 0-0, the game was interrupted because the smartwatch on Hojlund's right wrist caught the eye of referee Chris Kavanagh. He was immediately asked to remove the device.

Hojlund had to run back to the Manchester United technical area and hand over his watch to a team member after taking it off. This incident made him laugh awkwardly, while manager Ruben Amorim was not at all pleased.

Hojlund was wearing his watch from the first half, even though it was hidden under a bandage, which surprised fans on social media.

One fan wrote, "Hojlund actually walked onto the field with his Apple Watch." Another quipped, "Just wanted to count his steps." One fan even joked, "I'll get my 10,000-step badge this weekend." Another fan wondered, "Why was Hojlund allowed to wear a watch during the match?"

Conversely, many people mocked the striker's recent poor form: "Hojlund is more focused on the fitness score on his watch than on scoring goals." Another fan said: "Counting his steps because he knows he won't score."

Hojlund's situation worsened when Marc Cucurella scored the winning goal for Chelsea in the 71st minute. Manchester United tried but couldn't equalize, accepting their 18th Premier League defeat of the season.

Hojlund was largely ineffective throughout the match. This was his 27th Premier League game this season without scoring, with only 4 goals in 31 matches.
