I saw some video bad finishing by Rasmus Hojlund while with Atalanta. Actually as a striker 32 times played and 9 goals seems like a not very good statistic. But it looks like Ten Hag has another view. Perhaps his young age is enough to make Ten Hag confident that he can change the bad views of football observers. Many people also hope that Rasmus Hojlund can be Haaland's competitor and be the solution to the attacker's problems. At the moment Ten Hag has several options so Rashford probably won't be exhausted and injured a lot.
Erling Haaland can't be compared to Rasmus Hojlund, even when Haaland is at Hojlund's age he can score a lot of goals and has a good finishing. I believe that ETH is just gambling on Hojlund's transfer, because despite his young age, at least Manchester United will have a replacement for their striker. If later he will be officially introduced as a new Manchester United player, I can't wait to see how he performs in official PL matches.
Of course, Haaland cannot be compared to Rasmus Hojlund. Haaland has proven capable of conquering the premier league in his first season, he also contributed greatly to Manchester City success last season. It's too early to compare Rasmus Hojlund with Haaland, he has just stepped foot in the premier league and has yet to prove anything with Manchester United. Ten Hag's interest in Hojlund based on his performance last season, Ten Hag must develop Hojlund's talent to reach Haaland level.
The big money that Manchester United poured out to bring in Hojlund will pay off if he is able to perform like Haaland in his first season defending Manchester City. Now it is still speculation whether Hojlund will shine with Manchester United or even fail to adapt to the premier league style of play which is tougher than Serie A.
