Gary Neville reacts to Rasmus Hojlund Manchester United debut against Arsenal
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has given his verdict on Rasmus Hojlund Manchester United debut against Arsenal.
“Manchester United haven’t had a striker that they can hit. That’s the problem,” Neville told Sky Sports.
“Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t a classic targetman, [Anthony] Martial’s certainly not, [Marcus] Rashford’s not. At least they’ve got someone who looks he’ll mess people around and get his body in there. He’s aggressive, and he’s a runner.
“The thing for him is he’s learning the game still. He’s only played a couple of seasons of top level football and we’re expected him to be Erling Haaland. That’s the problem.
“Manchester United haven’t got anyone else with experience to back him up. We’ve been watching Martial for 9-10 years at Manchester United and he’s not what Erik ten Hag wants. This lad, lot of pressure on him, big price tag, but it was an encouraging start.”
