The very latest Man Utd news and opinion as Rasmus Hojlund prepares for his first outing in Serie A.
Rasmus Hojlund came off the bench for Denmark in their 3-0 win over Greece in World Cup qualifying.
Rasmus Hojlund’s immediate behaviour following his stint on international duty with Denmark speak volumes following his loan move from Manchester United to Napoli.
The 22-year-old completed a season-long loan move to the Serie A reigning champions on deadline day, with Antonio Conte’s side agreeing an option-to-buy the striker should he impress this season.
Ruben Amorim and United could bank a fee in the region of £38million if Napoli qualify for the Champions League. The Danish stiker will be looking to make a positive first impression having returned to Serie A after 832 days away.
Hojlund flew 800km from Greece following Denmark’s 3-0 win over Greece in their World Cup qualifying campaign. He scored their third goal on the 81st minute and was assisted by former United teammate Patrick Dorgu.
After leaving Denmark’s international camp on Monday night, Hojlund was in training with Napoli’s first-team on Tuesday afternoon at the Castel Volturno training center, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
Napoli are set to face Fiorentina this weekend, with Hojlund in line to make his first appearance for I Partenopei before a midweek trip to face Manchester City in the Champions League. Lorenzo Lucca is expected to lead the line against I Viola at the Stadio Artemio Franchi – but manager Conte says the United loanee will be ready.
