Rasmus Hojlund, the young and talented forward for Manchester United, has been on fire lately. His impressive performance has caught the attention of former Arsenal and Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas, who has likened him to the legendary Ruud van Nistelrooy. This is certainly a confidence boost for the 21-year-old, who took some time to find his footing after joining the Red Devils from Atalanta over the summer. But now, he is in top form and his recent goal-scoring streak is a testament to that.
In his last six Premier League games, Hojlund has found the back of the net every single time. And in his last eight games across all competitions, he has scored a total of eight goals. It's safe to say that he has found his groove and Manchester United is reaping the benefits. With Erik ten Hag's strategic team formation, Hojlund is flanked by the talented Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, making for a formidable front three.
Fabregas is not the only one impressed by Hojlund's performance. He is often praised for his attacking style and smart movements in the box. In fact, Fabregas has compared him to van Nistelrooy, who scored a whopping 150 goals for Manchester United in just 219 appearances. "He's a kind of Van Nistelrooy type of finisher when he gets his confidence," Fabregas told the BBC's Planet Premier League. "I believe he can be a really top striker for United in the future."
And Fabregas is not wrong. Hojlund's talent, coupled with a strong supporting team, has allowed him to shine on the field. His knack for attacking the box and his impressive one-on-one skills make him a valuable asset to the team. It's no surprise that he has been on a goal-scoring spree lately, with the likes of Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, who are also making a name for themselves at Manchester United.
Fabregas is pleased to see the young players stepping up and showcasing their talents. "It definitely is great to see [the young players performing well] because you can see it has given them the licence, you know to show themselves what they can do," he said. "They play with a lot of purpose. And it's great to see because you don't see that nowadays at big clubs."
