As Rasmus Hojlund tries to find his footing in the demanding landscape of the Premier League, Manchester United legend Henrik Larsson has weighed in on the young signing's standout quality, reported by GOAL. The Danish striker, secured by the Red Devils for a hefty £72 million ($92m), has encountered a mixed bag of performances under manager Erik ten Hag.

Despite a goal drought in his first nine Premier League appearances, Hojlund has displayed a different side of his prowess in the Champions League, netting an impressive five goals in four games. His standout performance came against FC Copenhagen, where he not only showcased his scoring ability with a brace but also etched his name in history as the youngest United player to score twice in a European top-flight away fixture at 20 years and 277 days.

Larsson, who closely observed Hojlund during United's visit to Parken Stadium, shared his insights on the young striker's qualities. The football legend emphasized Hojlund's notable speed and physical presence, highlighting his willingness to exploit spaces behind the opponent's defensive lines.

Acknowledging the adjustment period for the new signing, Larsson expressed optimism about Hojlund's potential impact, stating, “It's early to say, but he looks interesting because physically, there is a presence about him. It's going to take some time before he settles in. He's new to the club and getting used to the other players. But hopefully, for United, he can be a good striker.”
