Before the friendly match with Lens, Manchester United introduced rookie Rasmus Hojlund in front of tens of thousands of home fans. A new chapter begins again with both the “Red Devils” and this individual potential striker.
Spending £ 72 million and finally Man United was able to show off the third rookie of the summer in front of the fans present at Old Trafford. For Erik ten Hag personally, the Danish student is not to be compared with anyone. Rasmus Hojlund just needs to be himself and work hard in a new shirt.
The contract signed between the two sides was closed last week, but in fact, Ten Hag has been targeting the former Atalanta star since March. The Dutch strategist always believes that Hojlund will become the top scorer. tu. A young player with outstanding physique and physical strength is what Ten Hag is always looking for. The 53-year-old teacher always holds the view of hunting young players to create an even generation of talent, avoiding disruptions because some seniors leave the team.
In the past 7 years, Manchester United have brought in a series of famous and relatively unknown strikers such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo, Odion Ighalo or Romelu Lukaku. This time, they changed their policy and played a risky game to believe in a young star, who did not even have a title or outstanding achievement. The characters of the MU leadership believe that Hojlund is a diamond in the rough, just needing to be honed, this striker will surely shine brightly.
“He’s a real leader in attack. Hojlund has the ability to put pressure directly on goal very well due to his superior physical condition. In the current Manchester United squad we need that to balance us out. Besides Marcus Rashford, there needs to be another player in charge of scoring. I feel in Hojlund’s mind, he always wants to score.
This is a player with great potential. The first thing to do is for Hojlund to discover those things for himself in a Man United shirt. The entire coaching staff will have a way to support Hojlund because everyone has been waiting for such a player for days. Both in the dressing room and on the pitch, we are always ready to do that.
As for Hojlund, of course he has to prove himself, which is the quality a Man United player needs. The club always needs a player with determination, desire, who wants to score goals and win every game. Besides, they also need to have a desire for titles,” – Ten Hag shared.
