Manchester United to sign Danish international Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta
Posted : 31 July 2023
Manchester United is expected to sign Danish international Rasmus Hojlund, as a deal with Serie A side Atalanta has reportedly been agreed upon. Hojlund's compatriot, Christian Eriksen, who plays alongside him in the national team, has shared some insights about the move and their conversations.
Eriksen revealed that he had open and honest discussions with Hojlund about the advantages and challenges of playing at Old Trafford. As they are likely to become club teammates, Eriksen's advice has been both positive and constructive.
Describing Hojlund's playing style, Eriksen praised him as a "strong number nine" who has made significant progress over the past year. He believes that Hojlund has evolved since their time together in the national team, and he is genuinely impressed with the striker's abilities.
According to Eriksen, Hojlund is not only a talented player but also a nice person. He has seen the striker grow into his role as a central forward, which he has excelled at while representing the Danish national team.
During the last season, Hojlund showcased his goal-scoring prowess at Atalanta, finding the net ten times since joining the club from Sturm Graz the previous summer. His journey began at FC Copenhagen, where he started his football career before attracting attention from abroad.
Eriksen shared his opinion on why Hojlund might have flown under the radar until recent transfer windows, suggesting that Danish players might not receive as much media attention compared to players from other countries, and this might be why Hojlund's talents weren't widely recognized outside Denmark earlier.
Eriksen spoke to the media following Manchester United's 3-2 pre-season defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas, where he discussed Hojlund's potential move to the English club.
