WHEN Manchester United completed the signing of Rasmus Hojlund a year ago, manager Erik ten Hag spoke of the raw young striker needing time to fulfil his potential.
United paid over the odds for him, 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 September, coming on as a secondhalf substitute in a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.
It took the Denmark forward 15 games to score his first Premier League goal, a late winner in a 3-2 Boxing Day comeback against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
