Speaking to Tuttosport, he explained: “The qualities are all there, at the beginning we had to get to know him but he immediately stood out for his great will to break through.Information Guide Nigeria
“He did very well after the first stop [part of the season], then he was called up to the national team and too many rumours distracted him, then there was the [abductor] injury. Today’s goal demonstrates his power, if he knows how to improve he can take away great satisfaction.NYSC Portal

In an interview earlier this year, Hojlund explained his love for the Old Trafford club. “Now that you ask, I will not hide the fact that I am a huge Manchester United fan,” he said.
“So personally, it would be one of the biggest things for me [to sign for United], but of course that doesn’t mean that I would turn down other big clubs if the offers come at some point.”
