Gary Neville has named Wayne Rooney among five strikers he thinks would help Rasmus Hojlund thrive at Manchester United. The Reds paid £72million to bring Hojlund to the club from Atalanta this summer.

The 20-year-old Denmark international has impressed with his performances without yet being able to open his Premier League account.

United initially held an interest in Harry Kane before the England captain signed for Bayern Munich in a £100million deal. The Reds moved on from Kane once it became clear Tottenham would be unwilling to sell to a Premier League club.
