Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has said Rasmus Hojlund’s power and aggression make him look like Erling Haaland in the making.
On Sunday, the Red Devils defeated Luton Town 2-1 to narrow the gap on fifth-placed Tottenham to three points.
Erik ten Hag’s men have now won four consecutive matches, with Hojlund continuing his scoring streak with two goals.
In doing so, the 21-year-old became the youngest player in Premier League history, to score in six straight games.
Speaking on The Gary Neville Podcast, Neville said: “Hojlund looked like a Haaland in the making—that power, that strength, and aggression in his running. I’ve always liked that about a Manchester United centre-forward.”
