Young Manchester United player backed to be great

Rasmus Hojlund is growing into his game at Manchester United.

The 20-year-old striker has bagged 10 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils.

Despite his ups and downs this season, he has shown potential, and former Manchester United forward Alan Smith, has backed the Dane to be great.

Speaking to British Gambler, Alan Smith said: “I think Rasmus Hojlund is going to get better and better. It’s difficult for him to lead the line and play as a single striker on his own at the minute.

“He will develop into a great number 9 for Man United. Just having a little bit of time will help him. The team obviously hasn’t hit the ground running and it was a difficult period when he came in, but I think he’s starting to get the rewards.

“Scoring the goals helped him. He has the attributes to be a really good centre forward; he’s quick, he holds the ball up well. There have been sparks where you have seen the quality. The more confidence he gets, the better he will become.”
