Rasmus Hojlund maintains that, despite his high-profile summer transfer to Manchester United, he has no desire to be compared to Erling Haaland.
When Erik ten Hag’s team takes on the reigning champions this weekend, the United striker is getting ready for his first-ever Manchester derby experience. Before Sunday’s match, there will undoubtedly be comparisons made between the two Scandinavian strikers on both teams.
Hojlund is a man with confidence much beyond his 20 years of age, but he isn’t naive enough to believe he has reached Norwegian Haaland’s level just yet. I don’t want to be compared to him, as I’ve said many times, Hojlund added.

He is amazing and arguably the greatest striker in the world at the moment. We can keep that quiet for the time being, but I’m hoping to get well so we can see what I’m capable of.
There is undoubtedly a lot of optimism at Old Trafford over Hojlund’s potential. Although the Danish striker has only scored three goals in Europe thus far, United’s players are enthused about his potential due to his ability both on and off the ball.
