Before joining the team, Manchester United attacker Rasmus Hojlund made his intentions known to manager Erik ten Hag. The 20-year-old was confident that he would be the one to lead the Red Devils’ frontline.

]In his eight outings for the Red Devils across all competitions, Hojlund has three goals thus far. Both football experts and fans have praised the 20-year-old for his overall performances.

Hojlund demands time and patience even if he is totally capable of commanding the forward line right now. The forward from Copenhagen has been a United supporter since he was a young child, but he also has a strong professional mindset. Only after prioritising his development did he decide to join his beloved club, demonstrating his serious attitude and character.
