Secret Admirer: Alan Shearer Drop Few Words On Rasmus Højlund

United spent around £190million on new signings in the summer. Their biggest outlay was on Hojlund, who will cost a fee of up to £72m. Hojlund is young but the manager has perceived a surety and depth in personality that marks him out as an achiever.Like Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Andre Onana specifically, Ten Hag feels his latest recruit has the brand of large character required to cut it at United.

Hojlund also excels at making runs in behind, pressing well, being positionally savvy and physically imposing.He is quite direct and aggressive in the final third, which the club have lacked. His speed, smarts in creating space for himself and aerial advantage will offer United a different dynamic.

Rasmus Højlund has had a brilliant start to his Manchester United career with 8 goals already for the Danish striker for United this season with 5 of those goals coming in the Uefa Champions League.

Rasmus Højlund ability to create chances for himself have come in handy for the Danish striker. Højlund has registered 8 goals with only 3 of those being assisted by a United player.

Rasmus Højlund national teammate Christian Eriksen have been left astonish by his ability.

“What’s he like? He’s a strong No 9,” Eriksen said.”He’s developed a lot in the last year from when I first saw him with the national team [to] a year’s time, so, yes, he’s a very good player.”

“He’s a nice guy, he’s a good player. Like I said, he’s developed, turning into just a nine, which he’s played for the national team.

just like Christian Eriksen, Premier League legend Alan Shearer have serious admiration for Rasmus Højlund

ALAN SHEARER ON RASMUS HOJLUND:

“He worked hard and put in a good performance. He deserved the goal.” “He didn’t stop trying in this match and deserved the goal.”
