Naturally, Ferdinand was a teammate of some of United’s finest defenders, such as Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Although Hojlund still has a ways to go before he can compete with those two, his performance today was really strong.

Now that things are looking up for United, the young players Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are essential to the team’s success.

Both guys were outstanding today, and it is encouraging for the future that two so young players are making such a significant contribution to a team under so much strain.

Consequently, Hojlund is under a lot of strain. Being the number nine for Manchester United is one of the most difficult jobs in sport, so he should be happy with the way things are going at the moment.

He has the ability to develop into one of the Premier League’s best strikers with a little more effort and self-assurance.

It’s true that Ferdinand would benefit greatly from seeing a few more videos of the strikers he played with, and it would only help him get better.

Therefore, Hojlund appears to be a top signing after all.
