He is my favourite player for United, and I have no doubt that he will be a contender for the Ballon d’Or with both Mbappe and myself on the pitch. He is a talented athlete.-Haaland, a striker for Manchester City As a result of numerous contacts with him throughout the Manchester Derby, praise the Manchester United star

After a difficult debut season with the Red Devils, Erling Haaland of Manchester City has jumped to the defence of Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United.

Hojlund is a solid player, according to Haaland, who also stated that he has showed genuine promise and developed over the year.

Hojlund paid £64 million to join Man United from Atalanta in the summer of 2016.The Denmark international spent his first several months at Manchester United flattering others with his deception.

Hojlund didn’t score his first Premier League goal for Erik ten Hag’s team until Boxing Day.

Before Man City’s most recent Champions League victory over Copenhagen, Haaland said of the 21-year-old, “I think his start was a bit hard but then he became much better.”He’s a young player, much like myself, and I thought he was pretty good when we played against them. Even though I’m older now, I’m still young!

“He needs to continue improving, and his job as a striker for Manchester United is to score goals as well,”
