Manchester United have been blessed this season with a number nine worthy of starting for the club after years of struggles up top.

For the longest time, Manchester United have struggled to find a striker who is good enough to be starting regularly and is young and exciting with their best years to come.

This saw frustrations over older strikers being signed to have one good season such as with Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Cristiano Ronaldo.

Along with this has been the incredible annoyance over Anthony Martial‘s lack of consistency and injury troubles.

But finally, it seems that Erik ten Hag solved this problem for United with the arrival of Rasmus Hojlund at Old Trafford. Now the Dane has once more been praised after his brace against Luton Town.

Shaun Wright-Phillips absolutely loves Rasmus Hojlund

Guest appearing on The Kelly and Wrighty Show, former Manchester City player Shaun Wright-Phillips admitted he’s a massive fan of the 21-year-old.

“I just think the way he’s played in general, he has been superb. Even when he came and Man United was that dysfunctional, I think if you look at all the aspects of his game which he was putting into play, not receiving the ball when he was in the right areas, his hold-up play, how much he runs for that club as though he understands how difficult it is being a Manchester United player.

“He’s leading by example there for me and he’s wearing the shirt how it’s meant to be worn. If things ain’t going his way, he still runs over 110% to try and make things happen for the team and for himself.

“For me, it was inevitable that his goals would come at some point.”

Hojlund looks like the real deal and exactly what Manchester United needed

United have been crying out for a striker like Hojlund for years and to now see him catching fire it’s clear he’s going to be the club’s striker for years to come.

Even in his early struggles which saw him playing decent but not being supplied the signs were there as he thrived in the Champions League.

Hojlund has everything that a striker in the Premier League needs and he’s only going to get better from here. £64 million is an absolute bargain for a player of Hojlund’s quality.

The fact that even rival club’s ambassadors can’t deny that fact now tells the entire story of how excellent Hojlund has been lately.
