The Manchester United striker’s response after being compared to Haaland
Rasmus Hojlund and Erling Haaland
Rasmus Hojlund is one of the most talked about players at Manchester United after a positive start. Although he has not yet made his debut as a scorer in the Premier League, the player has already registered 3 goals in the UEFA Champions League and excites the fans of the Red Devil team. His important physique and level of play mean that some are beginning to call him the new Erling Haaland. However, the Danish striker doesn’t seem to like it at all.
Rasmus Hojlund on being compared with Erling Haaland: “I hope one day I can reach Haaland’s level, but right now, I think it’s too early. “Erling in any case is the world’s best striker, if not, the world’s best footballer. “I don’t really want to be compared to him, but I hope one day I can be like him,” confessed the Manchester United forward in the training camp with the Denmark national team.
The forward arrived in the last transfer market from Atalanta for a significant sum of 85 million euros. For many, a high price for a player who has not really finished proving himself in one of the best leagues in the world. However, after the first impressions left by the player, it seems that time will prove Manchester United right. The Danish attacker was recently nominated for the Golden Boy award as one of the best Under 20 players in the world.
An important signing for Manchester United
The 20-year-old striker joined Mason Mount, André Onana and Jonny Evans in the summer as the team’s signings ahead of next season, where they will look to win a Premier League title for the first time in 10 years. At the moment, the club has not had the best of starts, but it is expected that little by little they will right the course. They have managed to string together two wins in a row in the Premier League, which gives them an important boost, however, in the UEFA Champions League they have 0 points and another defeat could leave them without a chance to qualify.
