Rasmus Hojlund, the young and promising striker from Manchester United, has been given a golden opportunity to join the prestigious Italian club, AC Milan, on a loan. The former head coach of AC Milan and Italy, Arrigo Sacchi, has openly criticized Hojlund for not immediately accepting the offer and hesitating over the move to Serie A.
AC Milan has been in talks with Manchester United to secure Hojlund on a season-long loan with an option to buy. With their recent signing of Benjamin Sesko, United is willing to let go of Hojlund, who scored four goals in the Premier League last season. However, the 22-year-old has not yet made it clear whether he is open to returning to Italy or if he wants to stay and fight for his place at United.
Sacchi has raised doubts about Hojlund's decision, stating that United's willingness to let him go should be enough to convince him to join AC Milan before the end of the summer transfer window. He believes that the young striker should not hesitate to grab the opportunity to play for such a prestigious club.

Sacchi further expressed his disappointment with Hojlund's hesitation, stating that he is not a player like van Basten, one of the strongest centre-forwards in Europe. He believes that Hojlund is a decent player, nothing more. Sacchi understands AC Milan's need for strikers and their interest in Hojlund, but he believes that the player should also have the desire to come to Italy and not put up a fight.
He further added that if a prestigious club like Milan calls, a player should immediately pack their bags and catch the first flight to Malpensa. Milan is a mystical name in the world of football, and any player who is brought in should take a tour of the trophy room to understand the club's rich history and legacy.
While Manchester United is also a legendary club, Sacchi believes that the choice is clear for Hojlund. On one hand, there is a club that is offering him a permanent job, and on the other hand, there is a club that is trying to sell him. As a player, what would you choose? The opportunity to play for a club like AC Milan or a club that is willing to let you go? The answer seems obvious.
