Manchester United made a big-money move for Rasmus Hojlund this summer, and their manager Erik ten Hag insists they have no regrets about it. The Red Devils had considered a move for Harry Kane earlier in the summer, but the costs involved in signing him from Tottenham scuppered the deal.
Bayern Munich ended up agreeing a £100 million deal for the England captain, while United opted to sign Hojlund from Atalanta for £72m. The new United man arrived at Old Trafford with a back injury, but ten Hag is certain the club made the right decision in the transfer window.
He said, “I don’t think we have to repeat this debate. We are happy with Rasmus, his first game was unfortunately cut short due to injury, but he played against Arsenal and we are integrating him into the team. You can tell he is a big talent and will contribute to our game, we are quite confident of that.”
Meanwhile, Kane has been in blistering form since his move to Bayern. He’s scored four goals in four Bundesliga appearances and has spoken of his delight at joining the Bavarian giants.
“I knew there were talks between a few clubs over the summer, but Bayern were a team that really interested me,” said the striker. “Once they came in, there weren’t too many more discussions, and the deal got done. Now I’m focused on here and I’m really happy that I have joined.”
It remains to be seen how the two players’ performances compare in the long run, but for now, it appears that Manchester United’s decision to sign Hojlund is not one they regret.
