Why Man Utd are signing Rasmus Hojlund

Rasmus Hojlund is Man Utd's new striker, making a move from Atalanta. At just 20 years of age, Erik ten Hag is taking a gamble on a lesser experienced goal scorer. But coming to Old Trafford with bags of ability, JJ Bull explains just why the club have signed him

Not the finish product yet, but we can work on him.

[Nofinator]

That unnecessarily aggressive “THAT’S MUCH LESS” is gonna stick with me for a while so cheers for that JJ

[Phantazmay]

Very good point with the wages. Also, he's very good at holding the ball and also super fast. That's rare. His link-up play with Rashford, Antony and Bruno is gonna be fun.

[vietdang]

I remember Ten Hag said he wanted to build the best transitional team in the world. This striker could be the key for that future

[fachriranu]

Wow the best manager to ever live, Seven Hag, did it again. Getting a super striker that very prolific, 9 goal in 32 match, wow. Seven Hag did it again

[shaboogen]

JJ is the star of the channel. Love his output.

[Thegaolbirds]

Although hes unproven and its a risk, he has all the potential and makings to be a Kane or a Halaand. Plus hes stylised for Ten Hags football. Providing he has the mental strength and ignores the pressure he can have a great debut season and silence the noise. Free to do what he does after that then

[khaljhay]

Came here after the luton brace by Rasmus and I totally agree with you.

[umbertoroca]

He is also capable of creating space by running towards the wing. that space created in the middle could be filled by Rashford. (Hojlund did it many times with Lookman last year)

[OllieWales]

100m in less than 11 seconds? GodDAMN that is fast

[rjbduval]

I grew in Denmark supporting Utd, and it makes me happy to see so many Danes playing for them

[danielmahathir]

exactly. share this to the espnfc crew who is yapping away at the 70 million fee

[Takkks]

-Manager can we get haaland?
-We already got a haaland at home.
Haaland at home:

[kevingates]

Literally just today you dropped a video saying, “why hasn’t Hojlund scored in the PL yet”

[MusaOzilOfficial]

Arsenal fan here. Watched some videos and I think he looks exciting, his work rate and pressing are impressive so is his instinct for finishing. Decision making has some room for improvement, but that’ll come with age/experience/training. He’s quick, physical and plays with a lot of confidence. I think he’ll do well.

[vChilly]

Tbf rashford, fernandes and hojlund on a counter break could be pretty deadly.

[tob.meister]

Didn't see a glimpse of anything really when he played here in Copenhagen, but here we are.

[spongeaang]

Rooney and Ronaldo weren't the finished article when they were signed either. Great coaching and development will turn his raw potential into something special.

[Vahapetautus]

The issue with predicting cost of wages over their contract length is that it cannot account for salary raises. If he has a couple of decent seasons you can guarantee he will be on over £200k per week. Either that or his agent will push for a transfer.

Thank you JJ. All the info in a perfect energy burst 🙏❤️
