Rasmus Hojlund said he is ready for a position competition with Benjamin Sesko in the context of the Slovenia striker being very close to Old Trafford. Next season, Man United will not participate in the European Cup, so the number of matches in the season will be reduced, so the competition between Hojlund and Sesko will become more fierce.
In the most recent friendly match in the Premier League Summer Series in the US, Man United won 4-1 against Bournemouth. In this victory, Rasmus Hojlund scored 1 goal. After the match, the Danish striker proactively went to the reporter area and proactively asked them if they wanted to interview anything.
Hojlund was then asked about his upcoming future and whether his "number 9" position would be affected if Sesko arrived. The Danish striker answered frankly and quite confidently.
"Up to now, I have always focused on work, always try hard and wait for what comes next. My plan is very clear, staying and fighting for my position no matter what happens.
Competition is a very good thing, it will help me become sharper. I'm always ready and waiting for everything to come."
Last season, Hojlund scored just four Premier League goals out of 44 for Man United. In the context of being the only true striker, this achievement of Hojlund is considered extremely bad. The 22-year-old striker shared that last season was an unlucky time and he has put a lot of effort in the past 2 months.
"It was a very difficult season for us, we should have done better. However, I think this is also a common problem for the whole team. In the last two matches, there were some positives.
Currently, I am only 22 years old, everyone knows that not many strikers have scored 100 goals at this age. I have learned a lot and want to develop further in the future. I have to work hard in pre-season and continue that in the next season" - Hojlund shared.
At the end of the interview, Hojlund also said that Ruben Amorim's new diagram and operation made it more difficult for him to move and participate in the general tactical system. Since then, scoring achievements have also decreased due to this problem.
However, this is Hojlund's job as Amorim's playing style will not change. If he can't perform better next season, Hojlund will definitely not appear at Old Trafford anymore, once Man United detonated the blockbuster Benjamin Sesko.
Hojlund is being judged as a " Fool" in the centre-forward position after failing to improve well last season. There was a time when Amorim had to push Bruno Fernandes to play as a "false 9" or Joshua Zirkzee to play higher.
Hojlund is considered the last legacy of failure left by Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. Therefore, it is this striker who must change to both regain his position and regain his individual status.
