Both Sides of the Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United Saga Can Finally Breathe
United fans have been following every update they can read on Hojlund and the process that is taking him towards finally becoming a United player. Soon, however, those updates will turn into match recaps. The Danish forward is anticipated to be a big-time goal-scorer for the Premier League contenders.

Short of reading a book about the inside dealings of being a player’s agent or a club representative in charge of signing key players, we will not know just how much work everyone went through to make the deal happen. We can assume, though, that both sides are relieved that it is almost finally over.
Fans Optimistic Following Hojlund Signing
Although the final piece of the puzzle – an official announcement – is still missing, United fans are already clamouring about their prized youngster. Some supporters believe that, despite Hojlund’s youth and only one season spent in Serie A, he will be able to instantly adapt to the Premier League.
