Rasmus Hojlund has made feelings very clear as Man United linked to two big-money moves
Rasmus Hojlund claims that he will be a proven goal-scorer for Manchester United despite the club being linked with two elite-level strikers.
The 21-year-old from Denmark has shown promise since making the move to Old Trafford from Atalanta in the summer of 2023, finding the back of the net 10 times in 30 appearances last season.

I've still a lot to go, I'm still not the finished article, I'm only 21." When asked if he believes Amorim's system provides him more support,
