Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand believes incoming striker Rasmus Hojlund has the required traits to make a name for himself in the Premier League - but warns patience will be required.

The 20-year-old is on the brink of finalising his move to Old Trafford after United agreed a deal with Atalanta to sign the forward last weekend.

United will pay £64million up front and an additional £8m in add-ons, meaning the overall package is worth just north of £70m.

Hojlund, who held video calls with United manager Erik ten Hag before the end of last season, arrived in the UK on Tuesday afternoon.
