Rasmus Hojlund, a striker for Atalanta and Denmark, has made a name for himself in recent games for his country in European qualifiers. Hojlund came to Atalanta from Sturm Graz in Austria during the summer of 2013. During the current international break, he received his second call-up to the Danish national team and performed admirably.
The 20-year-old scored five goals against Finland and Kazakhstan, including a hat trick against Kazakhstan. Due to his raw power and playing style, he has also been compared to Erling Haaland. Additionally, he professes to be a Manchester United supporter and holds the former Red Devils forward in high regard.
Conceding his adoration for the English goliaths, Hojlund said recently (through Manchester Nightly News):
“I will not conceal the fact that I am a huge Manchester United fan now that you have asked. Consequently, for me personally, it would be a major consideration; however, that does not preclude me from accepting offers from other significant clubs.”
Since the Portuguese player’s first stint with the team, which ended in 2009 when he joined Real Madrid, he has also been a fan of Ronaldo. During his time with Los Blancos, the young striker continued to follow the great footballer.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is my hero. He acknowledged this (via Madrid Zone): “My father introduced me to him at United, and I followed him to Real Madrid.”
A new striker is wanted by Manchester United:
Erik ten Witch’s Manchester Joined are keeping watch for a striker. According to reports, they have identified Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane as potential summer targets. Ten Hag wants to bring in a top goal scorer this summer. Since Ronaldo left the club in the winter, they haven’t had a regular striker.
Marcus Rashford has taken up most of the objective scoring trouble while loanee Wout Weghorst has been utilized in a more profound job by the Dutch strategist. To maintain their upward trajectory, the team must therefore sign a striker this summer. Hojlund may not be the best candidate because he is not yet a finished product and does not fit United’s current profile.
