Rasmus Hojlund has named the Manchester United player who has impressed him most during training and his answer may come as a surprise.
Hojlund completed his £72 million move from Atalanta earlier this week, putting pen to paper on a four-year deal at Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old was officially unveiled at Old Trafford ahead of United's 3-1 pre-season win over Lens.
Speaking for the first time as a United player, Hojlund said (quotes via United's official website): "I am incredibly excited by this opportunity to turn that dream into a reality, and I am determined to repay the faith that the club has shown in me.
"It is still early in my career, but I know that I am ready to make this step up and play with this group of world-class players.Unfortunately, Hojlund is expected to miss the start of the campaign due to injury, but his arrival will come as a huge boost to Erik ten Hag's title hopes.
Meanwhile, he was recently asked who he has enjoyed watching since joining the club.
He told MUTV: “Of course, Jonny Evans and he’s here now! I also got to play against him with the national team but yeah, all the guys in recent times. Literally everybody.”Hojlund admitted he was a little starstruck upon joining up with the squad, but expressed his delight at being a part of the team.
"A little bit surreal," he added. "There is a lot of stars, but I am part of the team now. I am looking forward to be playing on the pitch with the other guys.
"It is a big pleasure to be here, and I am very happy to be a Manchester United player. Very happy now. Everything is done, and I can officially call myself a Manchester United player. So I am quite happy at the moment."
