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

Erling Haaland, the striker for Manchester City, has come to the defence of Rasmus Hojlund, the attacker for Manchester United, regarding his inconsistent performance in his first season with the team.

Haaland affirmed that Hojlund has demonstrated genuine potential and made noticeable progress throughout the campaign, further stating that he is a skilled player.

Hojlund transferred to Manchester United from Atalanta for a fee of £64 million over the previous summer.The Denmark international failed to live up to expectations during his initial months at Manchester United.

Hojlund’s first goal in the Premier League for Erik ten Hag’s team was scored on Boxing Day.

Regarding the 21-year-old, Haaland informed reporters prior to Man City’s recent Champions League victory against Copenhagen that the individual initially faced challenges but subsequently displayed significant improvement.During our match against them, I observed that he displayed exceptional skills, indicating that he is a talented player. Additionally, he is relatively young, similar to myself. Although I am no longer in my youth, I still consider myself youthful.

“He must continue to progress and, as a forward for Manchester United, he also has the responsibility to score goals. That is his primary duty.”
