November 6th 2024.
Rasmus Hojlund was excited about the opportunity to work with new coach Ruben Amorim. He had gotten some insider information from his fellow Denmark teammate Morten Hjulmand, who played for Sporting Lisbon and had spoken highly of Amorim's coaching abilities. Amorim was set to take over as the manager of Manchester United on November 11th, after his impressive performance in the Champions League against Manchester City.
One of the main issues that Amorim would have to tackle at United was their lack of goals. Under previous manager Erik ten Hag, they had struggled to find the back of the net, with only two teams scoring fewer goals in the Premier League. But Hojlund was confident that Amorim's tactics and ideas would help improve their offensive game. He was especially eager to see how the three-defender line would work, as it was a new concept for him.
Hojlund had a conversation with Hjulmand during the international break and the latter had only positive things to say about Amorim's coaching style. They had discussed the great ideas and a slightly different approach that Amorim would bring to the team. Hojlund saw Amorim as a young and ambitious coach, and he was looking forward to working with him.
Amorim had also praised Hjulmand's abilities, calling him a "complete midfielder". This statement had caught the attention of many, including Hojlund, who saw it as a positive thing. In fact, Amorim had expressed his preference for Hjulmand over another midfielder, Manuel Ugarte, who had recently joined Paris Saint-Germain. Amorim believed that Hjulmand's all-around skills made him a better fit for his tactics.
Now, with Amorim officially taking over as the manager, Hojlund was excited to see how he would implement his ideas and strategies at Manchester United. His first game in charge would be against Ipswich Towne, and Hojlund was looking forward to being a part of Amorim's plans. He was confident that with Amorim's coaching and Hjulmand's presence in the midfield, they could achieve great things at United.
As for Amorim, he was aware of the differences between Hjulmand and Ugarte, particularly in their ability to read the game. But he saw this as a positive aspect, as it gave him a well-rounded team with different strengths. Amorim was determined to make an impact at United and was excited to work with such talented players. He was confident that with their collective efforts, they could bring success to the club.
