Rasmus Hojlund admits that it is still a bit surreal to call himself a Manchester United player. The 20-year-old officially completed his £72million move earlier this week and was unveiled as the club's third signing of the summer ahead of their pre-season win over RC Lens on Saturday.

United agreed a fee of £64m, plus £8m in add-ons, for Hojlund with Atalanta last Saturday, having suggested they would not pay more than £60m.

Hojlund was at Old Trafford to watch his new side defeat Lens, but it might be a while before we get to see him on the pitch playing. FOLLOW: United vs Bilbao LIVE United believe it could take a few weeks for Hojlund to reach match fitness, and he will not be rushed in his recovery.

The Danish forward is likely to miss the opening fixture against Wolves on August 14 and the trip to Tottenham five days later.
