The Rasmus Hojlund propaganda machine is flying now; apparently no goals or assists in defeats is what Manchester United wanted...
Man Utd paid £64m for 6/10 Hojlund and that’s ‘what they wanted’, apparentlyThe Rasmus Hojlund propaganda machine is flying now; apparently no goals or assists in defeats is what Manchester United wanted…Manchester United’s ‘future is bright’
After just 87 minutes worth of football, it is already becoming clearer why Manchester United identified Rasmus Hojlund as their ideal candidate to strengthen their forward line. It meant the 20-year-old, snapped up from Atalanta last month for an initial fee of £64million, was denied his breakthrough moment. Nonetheless, his first Old Trafford outing, despite all of the ongoing unrest and concern at the club, was one filled with positivity.
Surprisingly deployed in a traditional front-two alongside Rashford, Hojlund, who netted ten goals for Atalanta last season, led the line well, proving mobile and combative up until his withdrawal in the 64th minute. He was replaced by Anthony Martial, prompting a chorus of boos from the natives. He played a neat back-heel into Casemiro’s path, enabling him to send Garnacho clear. Had Garnacho delayed his run by a split second, Hojlund’s debut would have featured a key pass at a defining moment in a huge fixture.
It’s true that his celebration was lovely. Maybe that’s what Manchester United wanted for their £64m.
