That's right, I actually don't know who he is even though he often follows the development of players in Serie A, but it's clear he only scored 9 goals last season so his name was not heard before and since Manchester United took an interest in him his name immediately filled all the timelines of all social media. Haaland and Mbappe have an even crazier instinct for scoring goals and both of them always fill the top scorers every season.
Rasmus Hojlund scored just 9 goals in 32 games last season with Atalanta. Atalanta scored 66 goals last season. So it goes without saying that Rasmus Højlund has made a major contribution to the team's overall performance. Rasmus Højlund wasn't even Atalanta's leading scorer. He also performed very well, I don't even think so after watching Hojlund's performance last season. I don't know why Ten Hag bought Hojlund at such a high price though. I think Ten Hag may have other plans for Hojlund.
Indeed, I also believe that as long as there is real progress, the players will be able to develop, especially in big clubs, the atmosphere of the supporters and greater responsibility that requires players to continue to show their performance. I think Erik ten hag will still use Hojlund as the main striker and optimize Rashford more as a left winger because otherwise they will find it difficult to adapt to the Champions League without full strength.
If Ten Hag wants to keep Hojlund in their starting XI next season, I think it won't be the right decision. Hojlund is still young. He is not experienced enough. He will also miss easy opportunities. He is not experienced enough to be the main attacking player of a big team like Manchester United. However, this is my personal opinion. Ten Hag will surely understand better than me. But I don't think Ten Hag should expect any impressive performances from Hojlund next season.
