Ramus Hojlund’s lonely ray of light was not enough to pull MU out of the chaos at Old Trafford. The Danish striker had a convincing day with a double against Galatasaray, but the Manchester Red Devils still lost in their own home…

Since the opening whistle in the match against Gatalasaray this morning, October 4, Hojlund has continuously successfully passed people, threatening the away team’s left corridor. Right from the 2nd minute, the Danish striker’s knack for speed and strength was fully exploited when he overtook Sacha Boey to pass for Bruno Fernandes to finish.

The first goal showed the sensitivity, choice of position, and speed of movement to finish the score for this £72 million contract. Not only that, Hojlund passed the ball very smoothly, many times changing the direction of the ball, surprising the Galatasaray defense.

What a striker who is only 20 years old like Hojlund shows is that he promises to be a great striker, just like Paul Scholes emphasized that the Danish striker reminds the MU legend of a high-class striker of the United States. one-time family name, Ruud van Nistelroy.

“This failure makes me really disappointed. But I saw something that excited me especially. That’s Rasmus Hojund. He was the brightest light in a nightmare night at the Theater of Dreams. Hojlund scored a double brilliantly.

I really loved the second goal, he didn’t give the opposing defense any chance to stop it. That moment made me see a little bit of Van Nistelroy in it. How wonderful. He will go very far. MU may have a true striker,” Paul Scholes emphasized after the match.

While Hojlund is confident in dribbling, passing, and finishing, another MU player on the offensive line, star Marcus Rashford, does not have that. A typical example is the encounter with the away team’s goal in the 53rd minute (when the score was 1-1). The English striker was not confident in the face-to-face phase with goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, so he passed to Bruno to finish, resulting in a missed goal that seemed 100 sure.

In addition to the double, Hojlund also had a goal denied (59′) for offside. But even if this goal was not recognized, Hojlund still showed the necessary qualities of a striker: calmly receiving the ball, handling it simply, quickly, compactly, and accurately to put the ball in the net. Muslera.

Looking at this striker’s calm handling, MU fans wished that if only Rashford’s earlier ball had been placed at Hojlund’s feet, the home team would have taken the lead soon. Even though he was flagged for offside, Hojlund was also highly appreciated for his ball-handling skills and thinking: he kept a rhythm, and tricked the opponent (here, French defender Boey) to score a goal. easy.

Hojlund’s second goal in this match showed that he was unstoppable: Hojlund’s speed, desire, youth, and coldness of a natural-born assassin did not allow an experienced and talented goalkeeper to brave as Muslera any chance to block.

Hojlund punished Davinson Sanchez’s mistake, diving at the speed of a Formula 1 car to bypass all obstacles and score. The moment the Danish player increased the score to 2-1 made MU fans emotional and happy. Because it’s been so long since the Theater of Dreams has witnessed an assassin like Hojlund.

Clearly, the way this player scores, runs, and chooses his position looks like a striker that MU can trust. Hojlund is still on the way to improving himself and will be even better in the near future. But in a team in a complete crisis like MU, Hojlund’s efforts will also be lost and can he persevere?
