Eriksen Talks About Hojlund’s Flourishing Career After Leaving Manchester United

Hojlund’s Transition from United

Christian Eriksen, the former star of Manchester United, has shared his thoughts on his Denmark teammate Rasmus Hojlund and his enjoyment of life after moving away from the club. Hojlund found himself sidelined by United’s manager Ruben Amorim, alongside notable players such as Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho, who were all part of what some referred to as the “bomb squad” during the summer as the Portuguese manager reshaped the team.

Successful Loan at Napoli

The Danish player made the leap to Napoli on loan, where he has truly flourished in Serie A, netting four goals in just six appearances under manager Antonio Conte. His success has extended to the international stage as well; he recently scored twice against Belarus in a match on Thursday, further enhancing his impressive season tally.

Eriksen’s Praise for Hojlund

After the recent game, Eriksen commended Hojlund for his development since leaving United, which has often been labeled as a challenging environment. He remarked:

“Rasmus is confident and now finds himself in a position where he can score the straightforward goals. It’s fantastic for our national team to have him performing well, and I genuinely feel happy for him. You can see he’s enjoying himself, and his efforts are being rewarded with goals.”

Hojlund is indeed making a significant impact at Napoli, having scored vital winners in matches against Sporting and Genoa in recent weeks. He is joined by Rashford, who is thriving with Barcelona, and his Napoli teammate Scott McTominay, both of whom are embracing their experiences away from Manchester United.
