Even when buying Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig, it would be a big mistake if MU decided to sell Rasmus Hojlund this summer. They need to keep the Danish striker to thicken the attack, creating a competitive pressure on Sesko (if MU can buy).
And more importantly, Hojlund at this time has improved significantly compared to the previous season. He is more confident in front of the opponent's goal and is desiring to assert himself through each match, whether official or friendly.
Hojlund's efforts recently not only were clearly seen by MU fans, but also by coach Ruben Amorim himself. In the last 2 times, it was arranged in the center of MU during the trip in the US, the 22 -year -old striker played impressively, proving that he improved clearly and still had the opportunity to retain Old Trafford even when Sesko came to the theater of dreams.
Hojlund's performance in 2-1 victory over West Ham in New York made MU consider his future. The Danish player played quite well against Graham Potter's team, typically in sharp and strong in the breakthrough phase of the first match over the Maximilian Kilman, ending with a shot hit the vertical column.
Hojlund also played better in a 4-1 victory over Bournemouth, scoring after only 8 minutes and coordinated with the surrounding satellites. He found a favorable position to pick up the pass of Patrick Dorgu, and although the ball could slow his shoulder, not his head, but the ball lying in the far corner was the most important thing. Hojlund enjoyed the celebration, raised her fist towards the audience, showing the determination to show their talents when playing.
Hojlund also shows the quality in the game to deploy the ball. In just one combination phase, he passed the ball correctly for Casemiro, and quickly broke through the Bournemouth defense to catch the pass from Mason Mount, but unfortunately the midfielder's pass was too far from his leaning range. He also had a touch and turned the beauty to Diogo Dalot to escape on the right wing and maintain his run when Amad Diallo advanced, then turned to make Marcos Senesi foul after a pass.
In short, the current Hojlund is a calm, confident and ready player to fight for a position at MU. He did not seem to be affected by rumors about “one person came, the other was about to join the club”.
Coach Amorim praised Hojlund after the match against Bournemouth but did not give any guarantee of his position at MU. “I am really satisfied with Rasmus. I don't know what will happen until the transfer period is over. It is important that the strikers here are playing very well, progressing and helping the team,” the Portuguese military leader emphasized.
When asked if Amorim could say anything about Sesko at this time, the 40 -year -old strategist answered very frankly: “No. It is important that Rasmus is scoring; he is connecting very well with the whole team.”
In the early summer, Hojlund openly expressed his desire to stay at Old Trafford. He also contracted with MU until June 2030 and wanted to wholeheartedly with the Red Devils into Manchester. And according to the latest revelation on the Daily Mail, although not public, Amorim has outlined a special plan for Hojlund even MU completed the recruitment of Sesko.
Accordingly, the young Portuguese general considered this deal as an opportunity to strengthen the squad and maximize the potential of both young strikers. The recent impressive performances made Hojlund expected to develop strongly besides Sescko, and Amorim believed that the real competition for the striker position could be a strong motivation for the 22 -year -old striker.
