Rasmus Hojlund made an impressive debut for Manchester United in their 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. Paul Merson, however, urged caution over the 20-year-old's £72 million move to Old Trafford, citing Mykhailo Mudryk's impressive debut for Chelsea back in January. The 22-year-old has since struggled to make an impact in west London.
Merson wrote for Sky Sports: "Rasmus Hojlund looked good - a right handful. But that was for 20 minutes. I saw Mykhailo Mudryk for 20 minutes at Liverpool in January and I haven’t seen him since."
The pundit also highlighted the current issues at Manchester United, claiming that they are a "million miles off" reigning champions Manchester City. He was critical of their decision to sign Sergio Reguilon on loan from Tottenham on deadline day and not being able to stump up the £7m for Marc Cucurella.
The Denmark international is now on international duty for the European Championship qualifiers against San Marino and Finland. He will hope to make his full United debut at home to Brighton on Saturday 16 September.
Having shown glimpses of what he can do on his debut, Hojlund will be looking to become the first-choice striker for Manchester United and build on his promising start.
