Rasmus Hojlund has signed for Man Utd from Atalanta; deal for 20-year-old striker is worth an initial £64m, plus £8m in add-ons; Hojlund was presented to United supporters ahead of their final pre-season game at Old Trafford against Lens on Saturday
While it is inarguable that Harry Kane would have made the club instantaneously stronger, more solid and serious, no light could be seen in trying to negotiate with Daniel Levy.
Hojlund is young but the manager has perceived a surety and depth in personality that marks him out as an achiever. The club believe that as Hojlund has already played in and adjusted to three different leagues - Denmark, Austria and Italy - at a young age, he enjoys the challenge of mastering new surroundings.
Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen speaking after their friendly with Borussia Dortmund about Rasmus Hojlund:"He's developed a lot in the last year from when I first saw him with the national team [to] a year's time, so, yes, he's a very good player."
