Rasmus Hojlund: Napoli confirm summer stance

Signed from Atalanta for a mammoth £76 million in 2023, the 23-year-old struggled massively during his two-year spell at Old Trafford.

Rasmus Hojlund not good enough for United

In his debut campaign, the centre-forward netted 16 times across all competitions before imploding in his sophomore season in the English top flight.

A mere 10 goals, including only four in the Premier League, and consistent below-par displays meant United had no choice but to cut him loose.

Ideally, he should have been the backup striker or at least had support in the form of an experienced head alongside him, and the Old Trafford side failed him in that regard.

But Benjamin Sesko has proved himself in a short span of time, which makes it even more apparent what a mistake it was for the club to sign the former FC Copenhagen ace.

For Napoli, Rasmus Hojlund has scored 14 goals in all competitions, with the club in second, behind Inter Milan. His sale will help United massively as they look to spend big in the summer after qualifying for the Champions League.
