Rasmus Hojlund, the young star of Manchester United, has unfortunately had to sit out the beginning of this season due to an injury. This has been a disappointment for both the team and the fans, as there were high hopes for the 21-year-old striker following his impressive £64 million transfer fee from Atalanta last summer. However, despite a challenging start, Hojlund managed to score his first Premier League goal on Boxing Day against Aston Villa, and went on to score a total of 16 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils last season.
Unfortunately, United has had to play their first three games of the season without Hojlund, as he sustained a hamstring injury during a pre-season friendly against Arsenal in July. However, there is hope that he will be able to return to the pitch for their upcoming match against Southampton, possibly as a substitute. Both the team and United legend Peter Schmeichel have high expectations for Hojlund, and it seems that these expectations are shared by another United legend, Ruud van Nistelrooy.
In a conversation with Schmeichel, van Nistelrooy expressed his belief in Hojlund's immense potential as a player. "He is a fantastic talent," Schmeichel shared with Tipsbladet. "The possibilities within him are at the highest level and he can definitely become a top player." Van Nistelrooy's return to the club as an assistant coach this summer has added to the excitement surrounding Hojlund's future at United.
Schmeichel also praised Hojlund's maturity and personality, stating that he seems much older than his 21 years. "He has a great perspective and is both wise and cheeky, which are all important qualities for a young striker," Schmeichel said. "He has shown that he can handle pressure and score goals on his own. If the team can support him, I have no doubt that he will become a prolific scorer."
As for Hojlund's return to the field, United's head coach Erik ten Hag has stated that he will need some time to build up his fitness before being considered for selection. "It will take a while before he is fully ready to play, as he needs to build up some fitness," ten Hag explained. "We will monitor his progress during the international break and see when he will be available for selection again."
Despite the setback of his injury, Hojlund remains determined to make a big impact at Manchester United. With the support and high expectations from his fellow players and coaches, there is no doubt that he will continue to work hard and strive for success on the field. As fans eagerly await his return, it is clear that Hojlund has a bright future ahead of him at Old Trafford.
