WHEN Manchester United completed the signing of Rasmus Hojlund a year ago, Erik ten Hag spoke of the raw young striker needing time to fulfil his potential.
United paid over the odds for Hojlund, agreeing a £72million fee with Atalanta after it became clear they could not afford Ten Hag's first-choice target, England captain Harry Kane, who joined Bayern Munich for £100m.
Hojlund, 20 when he signed, arrived at United carrying an injury and did not make his debut until the first week of September, coming on as a substitute in the second half of a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.
It took the Denmark international 15 Premier League games to score his first top-flight goal, a late winner in a dramatic 3-2 Boxing Day comeback win against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
