The Atalanta striker is on the verge of a switch to Manchester United after lacking Atalanta’s pre-season pleasant match in opposition to Bournemouth.
Hojlund, 20, travelled to Bournemouth however spent the match sat on the bench. It is smart to not threat any harm that might solely complicate the switch.
The chance to affix United as a starter – at such a younger age – doesn’t come round fairly often. Erik ten Hag is aware of he can’t belief Anthony Martial for an additional season and no person desires one other Wout Weghorst episode.
Talking to FootballTransfers, Class of 92’ member Thornley gave his verdict on the potential deal: “There’s a perception from the those that have watched Hojlund commonly that he’ll develop into a prime striker and it appears that evidently the membership must resolve whether or not paying some huge cash for somebody who’s, as but, unproven on the prime stage is a small gamble or not.
“Your No.9 is a key place on the sector alongside along with your goalkeeper. Somebody who, when issues aren’t going properly, can produce a second of brilliance to win you a sport when it’s possible you’ll not deserve it.
“They’re few and much between, which is why they price probably the most. Both means, if Hojlund is the person they need, we have to begin the season with a central striker, and if he’s pretty much as good as individuals say then he’ll rating targets on this group with the creativity we’ve got behind and both facet of him.”
Ten Hag will now that he’s not signing an elite ahead in Hojlund, however the teen has the potential to develop into that with the precise steerage. There might be loads of pressures that include becoming a member of a membership like United. The Serie A wasn’t too tough for him at such a younger age.
