Rival teams in England could have sensed a nerve with the arrival of Rasmus Hojlund. The charismatic forward from Denmark has made a slow start at Manchester United after his arrival but caught up in the last couple of months. Hojlund has scored seven goals in his last 6 PL appearances and will play a crucial part in today’s FA Cup clash against archrivals, Liverpool.
