Christian Eriksen has described Rasmus Hojlund as a 'pressing player with a good technique and good runs' and he thinks the newest Manchester United signing can succeed at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag held video calls with Hojlund to gauge his interest in signing for United this summer and as a lifelong supporter of the club and self-confessed Cristiano Ronaldo fan, he was desperate for the move to happen.
