Meet Rasmus Hojlund: Ten Hag’s Man Utd Potential Haaland
Is Højlund the Perfect Striker for Ten Hag’s Man Utd? Meet Rasmus Hojlund: Ten Hag’s Man Utd Potential Haaland
Rasmus Winther Højlund is a top talented Danish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Atalanta and the Denmark national team. See Hojlund’s Wikipedia page for more info
Born: February 4, 2003 (age 20 years), Denmark
“He would have cost around 15 million pounds this summer” Atalanta bought him for 17 million euros and he just turned 20, now he’s the “New mini Erling Haaland” thing on the market, so SportsFila doesn’t think Atalanta is gonna sell him for anything less than 35 million euros
Honestly, look how well we’ve done so far without a “world class” forward. If we’re truly building a team for the future this is the move. Kane costing £100m at 30 is just madness and Osimhen is just way too expensive at £135m. Imagine bagging Rasmus and Ferguson for a combined 90m(Høllund for 50 and Ferguson for 40).
Rashford and Haaland Nominated for Premier League player of the season
These dudes can press and finish really well which is what we need. They’re 20 and 18 respectively but are built like bricks, have some pace on them and can find space. They would push each other to succeed rather than having a top striker who wouldn’t feel threatened by understudies put in less work and still expect to play. The competition would be intense and they would both keep each other on their toes.
Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen to Man Utd?
Marcus Rashford hit 30 goals in the campaign and was the only player to reach double-digits in terms of goals in the Premier League. The next best was Bruno Fernandes with 13 in all competitions, as per The People’s Person reports.
The rumour mill seems to suggest Ten Hag will prefer to land either of Tottenham talisman Harry Kane or Serie A champion Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
United’s list of alternatives is headed by Hojlund
But due to the price tags involved and the difficulties associated with convincing either club to sell, the Red Devils are keeping a list of alternatives ready.
Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen to Man Utd?
I’m not against signing any of the others but anything other than delivering a league title would be seen as a failure. But realistically we’re not there yet. Kane or Osimhen won’t be the final piece this team needs. We need a back up DM, like two CM’s a RB and a ball playing GK. Buying Rasmus and Ferguson would allow us to fill the other positions easily.
Anthony Martial Career: ‘It’s Over
I’m ready for us to win the league even in 2025. There’s no need to rush it and try to buy instant success. It always backfires when it comes to us. We had Falcao, Dimaria, Van Persie, and Rooney and barely managed a top four finish.\
As per Football Insider, Atalanta starlet Rasmus Hojlund is seen as the perfect alternative should big-money moves for either Kane or Osimhen fail.
Meet Rasmus Hojlund: Ten Hag’s Man Utd Potential Haaland
“Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund features highly on the striker wanted list at Man United ahead of the summer window, sources have told Football Insider.
“A well-placed source has told this site that the 20-year-old is seen as an alternative to big-money deals for Tottenham’s Harry Kane or Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen,” the report added.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic debut campaign in Italy and has also grabbed eyeballs for his impressive displays for his national side.
The Dane has notched nine goals and four assists in 33 games across all competitions with 19 of them coming from the start.
We need to build this team with future prospects as well as players that are about to enter the prime so that we don’t have a case of Liverpool where everyone was getting old at the same time. We already have Bruno, Eriksen, Casemiro, Varane, De Gea; the literal spine of our team all thirty and above or pushing thirty.
Vinicius Jr vs Mbappe vs Haaland who is better?
They need back ups and understudies. Signing Kane would just be continuing the trend and signing Osimhen would ensure we won’t reinforce at least two of these positions meaning the problems of no capable stand-ins in case of injury to our starting players would persist for at least two seasons, meaning we would literally be where we are right now.
We’re going to have to sign two strikers at the end of the day this summer. Would you rather invest at least 200m in strikers and not be able to invest in other positions or sign two potential world beaters for 90m and then reinforce the entire squad
Erik ten hag and Man Utd linked with Hojlund move according to transfer rumors reaching SportsFila.com
According to Danish outlet Ekstra Bladet (via Metro), United have shown ‘concrete’ interest in the 20-year-old, who joined Atalanta from Austrian side Sturm Graz last summer.
Hojlund has impressed during his spell in Serie A, scoring seven goals in 23 league appearances.
100% he is. I think Hojlund is the striker Ten Hag will go for as Ten Hag normally prefers to sign unknown players & develop them like he did at Ajax & Hojlund is a massive United fan so convincing him to join shouldn’t be an issue.
He’s got everything in a striker pace, strength, presses well, has great energy, holds the ball & links the play well, can score with either foot & has great positioning. I prefer us to invest in youth tbh. Also our finances are pretty bleak even if we get Sheikh Jassim in. Both Hojlund & Retegui would be ideal.

The fact that Southgate is on that list tells how serious you should take it
No manager on earth could do anything with Manchester United until Someone takes responsibility for the club and has a viable plan for the future.
Manchester Derby PREDICTIONS By SportsFila: Man Utd vs City
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group, the club’s new partial owners, are exploring options to assume the role. According to Team Talk, the Red Devils are considering the 41-year-old as a candidate for the manager position.
After achieving success as a player with Barcelona, Inter, and Paris Saint-Germain, winning numerous titles, the two-time Champions League winner transitioned to coaching at the senior level.

ESPN loves ManUtd. As much they say that they hate talking about ManUtd they can’t stop talking about ManUtd 😅😅. They have spend 15 mins speaking on rumours – Hypocrites.
Sack Ten Hag Now: Man Utd Fan Makes Bold Claim
It’s not Ten Hag fault when players like rashford do not put in all the effort after signing a new contract. Also ten hag had to deal with incredible amount of injuries which ESPN deliberately overlooks. So getting another manager isn’t going to solve anything.
It’s so funny how the English media fails to realize that the structure & the players is the problem at united…..but they trying to sack ETH who is an elite manger under a proper management structure 💯
The best manager that seems to be being overlooked shouod be n1 on the list for bayern utd liverpool is someone inzaghi. Hes done great things with Lazio and inter. Loads of experience and has got to european finals and won domestic leagues.
Manchester City 3-1 win over United in Manchester Derby.
It is very different getting an underdog /dark horse to perform vs going to an environment where the spotlight in on you everyday from day 1. The same thing happened at Bayern with a couple of their coaches…
Afcon 2024 victory is well deserved for Ivory Coast they left no stone unturned and they dominated throughout. If there is a one person who deserved to win the AFCON it was Sebastian Haller. In 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer but he recovered and he returned to play football in 2023 only to bottle the Bundesliga title on the final matchday to Bayern but here we are in 2024 where he scored the winner in the AFCON final to win Cote d’Ivoire AFCON title so congratulations🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🏆
Brazil Antony fulfill his potential at Manchester United?
FT: Nigeria 1-2 Ivory Coast
But Ivory Coast won fair and square. They played better. Congratulations champs.
What Adingra did in the African Cup of Nation was phenomenal. Nigerians will remember him as a nighmare forever. The boy has a great future ahead of him.
Why Biased Ten Hag Cannot Discipline Rashford Like Sancho
Haller beats cancer, then comes to the AFCON and scores the most important goal in the final, the winning goal what a beautiful story for that man and Ivory coast, congratulations to them👏👏
Congratulations to Ivory Coast from cameroonian👏👏👏you organized and won the most beautiful AFCON in story, unbelievable achievment when we look how things went for you.
One of the best tournaments I’ve seen.
Almost every team demonstrated that they were not afraid of their opponent and played above expectations.
Congratulations to Côte d’Ivoire who never gave up and believed and implemented their progress towards goal as much as possible until the last second in this tournament. Kudos to Nigeria for high yield and quality.
Thank you for making the spectators so emotional and congratulations and best wishes to the Ivory Coast and the Ivorian people.
FT: Nigeria 1-2 Ivory Coast
Afcon 2023 is over. What a remarkable end to a tournament dripping in drama.
Thanks for your company.
The night has only just started in Abidjan.
Congratulations to Ivory Coast for winning the Africa Cup🏆! The team showed strength and desire to win and to not give up until the end. And the fans were absolutely amazing
P.s Haller deserved it the most, since he suffered a lot.
The story of Côte d’Ivoire’s victory in the African Nations is one of the most beautiful stories in the history of football. We sympathized with this team’s version a lot and we will tell it to our children in the future 🧡

‘He’s very coachable, he wants to learn, to improve every day’ |SportsFila can feel the meaning of a ‘coachable player that wants to improve every day’. Because ETH has to deal with players that are not like this at all.
remember at Ajax TH once said “a process takes time, but by throwing in young players in big games that process gets accelerated”. Always stuck with me considering he let Mainoo debut against Everton (after the 10 point deduction at an intense Goodison Park) and then straight into the Galatasaray away game in the CL. H
He also has done the same with Garnacho last year and this year. Then he did the same with Pellistri against Bayern Munich who in my opinion did well enough to deserve another chance. I think it’s a way for him to see how they respond to the pressure and intensity. He’s not afraid to play the youngsters ONLY if he considers them good and fearless enough.
Why Roma loved and sacked Jose Mourinho
He made De Ligt Ajax captain at 18 years old because he saw leadership qualities. He has his own methods, but I’m convinced he knows exactly what he’s doing regarding the future of United. United fans need to remember 75% of this current squad won’t be part of the future so maybe allow him a bit more time to show what he’s trying to build.

ETH is a highly resillient manager to go through all the crisis and egos, poor performances, players personal issues and ownership drama and come out on the other side with these kind of performances. He brought in the right striker young full of potential and work ethic. Young players are starring in the squad WE ARE ON THE WAY.
Jadon Sancho Will REGRET His Behaviour At Man United
All the instability across the club that he’s gone through and still kept us in the Top 8. Now he’s finally seeing the other side of the drawn-out “club sale, no-sale”, multiple injuries, media controversies, spoiled players, and all the other nonsense, we see the team moving into sixth position. The man deserves all the praise in the world for being so resilient.
It’s interesting hearing ten hag speaking on rashford because he mentions a lot of qualities which he possesses, however they are all physical and technical, the one thing he didn’t speak positively about was his mentality and for me this is what has always separated Rashford from the very best.
In football and sport as a whole mentality is the one thing you need more than anything, it’s what separates the good from the great and I don’t know if rashford has that real hunger and desire in him to be great. The kind of desire where you’re willing to get hurt to score a goal.
