As they establish a bond at Manchester United, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford have been practising separately from the group.
Hojlund joined United over the summer after a £72 million transfer fee was agreed upon with Atalanta. The 20-year-old was sidelined for a month due to a back ailment discovered during medical examinations, but he has already shown great promise since making his Arsenal debut.
Hojlund scored his first goal in Wednesday’s 4-3 Champions League loss at Bayern Munich after having his effort against Brighton disallowed by VAR. Rashford, who is thrilled to have a fresh No. 9 to work with, set up both goals.
Regarding his developing relationship with Hojlund, Rashford told MUTV, “I’m honestly super excited about it.” “At times last year during counterattacks, all you could see when you looked up were the shirts of the opposing team, with Bruno’s cutback remaining off.
You need to realise that this year’s dynamics are different. We have communicated with one another and done a lot of work off the pitch that neither the coaches nor even we are aware of.
“I simply want to comprehend his game, and he wants to comprehend mine as soon as possible. So far, so good. Obviously, he was unfortunate to have it disallowed against Brighton, but at Bayern, we worked together to earn him the goal.
“I’m excited for the future and just excited that we have so many games and possibilities coming up to show who we are. I’m happy for him and it’s a connection that will improve both players. To start gaining momentum, I hope we have the upcoming victory and then another a few days later.
