Manchester United fans must heed Louis van Gaal's warning with Rasmus Hojlund

03.08.2023 - 15:55 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United fans will have to wait a little bit longer before they can celebrate the arrival of their new centre-forward.

Rasmus Hojlund's announcement has been delayed but MEN Sport understands the move is not in jeopardy. United will likely unveil Hojlund over the weekend around their Old Trafford friendly against Lens.

The 20-year-old will have big expectations on his shoulders after a total package of £72million was agreed with Atalanta. Erik ten Hag has studied the Danish striker meticulously and the club are confident he can be moulded into a top striker for the present and future.

Of course, Hojlund will need time to adapt to English football and the Premier League. It will be a culture shock for the youngster, as well as a change on the pitch.
