Jamie Carragher has praised Manchester United’ Rasmus Hojlund for his performances in recent games.
Hojlund has had a mixed time at United so far after signing from Atalanta for £72million last summer, scoring 16 goals in all competitions but struggling to find the consistency many had hoped for.
He missed the start of this season due to injury, but is now fit and firing and is expected to lead the United line as they look to turn their fortunes around on the back of their worst-ever start to a Premier League season.
The 21-year-old scored his second goal of the campaign against Brentford at the weekend with a fine chip to score the winner, and Carragher is starting to like what he sees from the United No 9.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he heaped praise on Hojlund, suggesting he could be the answer to the forward problems United have had in recent years.
‘Hojlund, I think he’s starting to look a player,’ Carragher said. ‘I was really impressed with him in Porto a couple of weeks ago, he put a real shift in.’
He added: ‘There’s real talent in the front three, but the man who gets the winning goal, I think he’s starting to look a player.’
United will hope that the Brentford victory can give them a foot up in improving their fortunes this season.
