Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has urged the club to keep faith with under-fire striker Rasmus Hojlund amid reports he is on his way out. The Danish striker has struggled to impress since he arrived from Atalanta in the summer of 2023 for a reported €77.8 million.
Discussing the striker’s future at the club, Scholes said on the Overlap via Goal:
The former Red Devils star explained how the club could help Hojlund out, saying:
Rasmus Hojlund’s time at the Red Devils has arguably been an unmitigated disappointment. He has managed just 26 goals and six assists in 6410 minutes across 95 games, costing the side over €2.4 million per goal involvement.
According to a report by Gazetta dello Sport, Inter Milan are interested in signing Rasmus Hojlund from the Red Devils this summer. The Danish striker has struggled to impress since he signed for the English giants and could be allowed to leave this summer amid a rebuild.
The Nerazzurri were well beaten in the final of the UEFA Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain. They are keen to reinvest in their club ahead of the new campaign. They ended last season without silverware despite going deep into every competition. They consider the Danish striker one of a few options that could strengthen them.
Hojlund is contracted to Manchester United until the summer of 2028. Given his recent poor performances, he is unlikely to command a massive fee for his services.
Patrick’s favorite team is Manchester United for their unparallelled legacy and success in the game. He is a big admirer of Michael Carrick and his ‘smooth’ style of play back in the days. His favorite manager is Jose Mourinho, who according to him, brought a ‘swagger’ to football with his unique managerial style. Robin van Persie’s title-winning volley against Aston Villa for the 2013 PL triumph is etched in his memory forever.
Patrick always uses trusted outlets that produce accurate, balanced and fair information, and which present multiple point of views. He believes in reporting in a holistic manner for the readers’ benefit. If he could change a football rule, he would increase the number of substitutions allowed due to the high number of games played these days, to reduce injuries and so that youngsters get to show their talent as well.
When not covering football, Patrick loves reading, writing poems and short stories, and spend time with his dog Lana.
