Rasmus Hojlund joins Man United today
The Danish international passed his two medical examinations earlier this week ahead of his $82m plus $11m add-ons switch. Hojlund has reportedly been desperate to move to Old Trafford after hearing Erik Ten Hag’s interest in him earlier in the window.
Compared to Erling Haaland due to his physique and speed with and without the ball, Hojlund will likely spearhead a United front-three with hometown hero Marcus Rashford and either Brazilian Antony or the currently out-of-form Jadon Sancho on either side of him next season.
