Bruno Fernandes has spoken glowingly about Manchester United’s summer signing Rasmus Hojlund despite the Denmark international being told he was not a ‘standout talent’ by a former coach.
Fernandes has discussed his new team-mate and the early impressions seem particularly positive. The Portugal international has been notably impressed by the confidence of Hojlund and his eagerness to establish himself in the United dressing room.

“He’s someone who is always trying to speak to everyone, he is a kid that what I have seen until now who obviously wants to work he wants to get into the team,” Fernandes revealed. “He wants to be fit as soon as possible and I think he will bring us a lot of energy, a lot of strength and hopefully a lot goals too.

The Red Devils forked out £72million to bring Hojlund to Old Trafford from Serie A outfit Atalanta in the summer, but due to a stress fracture in his back the striker has only managed 25 minutes of football so far. That came at the end of last Sunday’s 3-1 defeat away at Arsenal, where the 20-year-old was one of few positives for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Before the United supporters can even get a real look at their new talisman, they have been told by someone who knows Hojlund well that the forward’s ability actually paled in comparison to that of his brothers as a youngster. That is according to Christian Mouroux – sporting director at the brothers’ local amateur club, Horsholm Usserod Idraetsklub (HUI).
