In the last summer transfer window, despite facing financial difficulties, Manchester United spent €75 million (according to Transfermarkt) to acquire forward Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.
In reality, they faced continuous price pushing from their counterparts, but due to their offensive issues, the Red Devils had to relent and invest a significant amount in the emerging striker from the previous season.
Hojlund is currently displaying impressive form.
The Hojlund deal raised doubts among many experts. However, the 2003-born player is gradually proving himself in his new colors.
Hojlund showcases outstanding physical attributes and exceptional speed. The Danish star possesses the ability to dribble as well as seize impressive opportunities. After over 500 minutes on the pitch, he has scored 3 goals for the Red Devils, with the standout being his brace against Galatasaray in the Champions League.
Commenting on the young talent, Christian Eriksen stated:
“I think he’s a smart deal for Man Utd. Hojlund fits well with the team, adapts to the playing style, understands the coach’s ideas, and is a good, hardworking young man.”
