Manchester United are not having the best of times at the moment, but one player who has been a bright spark in recent games is Rasmus Hojlund.
Rasmus Hojlund has only just started to play matches for Manchester United after recovering from his injury issues.
The £84,000-a-week (Corriere della Sera) striker joined United from Atalanta in the summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old Denmark international is starting to make an impact for the Red Devils and has already impressed former Tottenham Hotspur striker and Match of the Day presenter on BBC One, Gary Lineker.
Rasmus Hojlund has impressed for Manchester United
Hojlund came on as a substitute against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in North London and gave a good account of himself.
It was a poor result and performance from United, but the 20-year-old was a bright spark for the Red Devils.
The young striker started against Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford and, once again, he stood out for attacking space in the box and being a nuisance for the opposition defenders.
Hojlund was among the goalscorers for United in their defeat to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
United will take on Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
It is very likely that United manager Erik ten Hag will include Hojlund in the starting lineup.
Burnley have been dire this season, and the Red Devils are expected to win.
Erik ten Hag praise for Rasmus Hojlund
Ahead of the match, Ten Hag has that he is confident that Hojlund will bang in the goals on a regular basis.
Ten Hag told United’s official website about Hojlund: “Yeah, but we know he can score, so we are happy.
“Now he gets a start and, I already said previously, I’m confident he will score goals.”
Hojlund is the main striker at United now, and it will be interesting to see how the 20-year-old copes with the pressure of scoring goals on a regular basis for arguably the biggest club in England.
