Hojlund scored his first Premier League goal in a 3-2 win over Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. While recognizing Hojlund’s youth, Casemiro has shown his confidence in the player and indicated that he still has a long way to go before becoming one of the world’s best young talents.

Casemiro stated to the press:

Because he is still a child, we should not put too much pressure on him. Many people believe he should come in and immediately score 30 goals. He is still in his early twenties and is playing in his first Premier League season.

He has also asked that the media not put undue pressure on his youthful shoulders. He acknowledged the Danish striker’s positive impact on the team and his contribution to the team’s dynamism. Casemiro feels he will be a determined and ambitious player for the Red Devils, ushering in a new era.

Hojlund missed United’s most recent game against Nottingham Forest due to illness, but he is likely to play against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup at the DW Stadium. Hojlund’s contributions will be critical if he continues to enhance his game as United looks for silverware this season.
