Rasmus Hojlund respects the comparisons with Erling Haaland but acknowledges that he is not yet at the same level. While they share similar physical characteristics, their playing styles and goal contributions differ. Hojlund hopes to improve his goal-scoring abilities and make his mark in the Premier League.
Rasmus Hojlund says he is not overly keen on the comparisons between him and Manchester City star Erling Haaland.
Hojlund is more nimble and his finish against Galatasaray showed he has a deftness to his scoring skills. One area Hojlund would like to be compared to Haaland, though, is in the goals departament. United will give him time but perhaps the best time to break the duck is to do it when there is least expectation to do so. Not to say, City’s defence is not surpassable.
He won’t have minded not finding the net in the most recent encounter, having lifted the FA Cup after full-time. And besides, he scored a hat-trick in last year’s 6-3 win at the Etihad where he, Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne effectively won the game. The Treble winner is well respected by Hojlund.
