Rasmus Hojlund arrives at Manchester United with a £72m price tag but despite playing just half an hour the critics are already out in force
Manchester United's new striker has barely played more than half an hour of football for the club and already the critics have aired doubts about his credentials.
On his first taste of Premier League football, it was clear Hojlund would suit the physicality of the division. The Gunners' defence had a difficult time coping with the 20-year-old and will be thankful they managed to stop him from scoring. "He played 34 games for Atalanta and only hit the back of the net 10 times. Now he's come to a league where it's really tough to get goals. I might be wrong but that's one hell of a gamble for somebody that doesn't have a proven track record."
Unfortunately for United, those are not easy to come by. However, even then, for a 20-year-old to be scoring ten in 34 matches in Serie A is still impressive. Take into account his performances for Denmark and you see why Erik ten Hag has taken the gamble.
