Rasmus Hojlund marked his Napoli debut in style as the Manchester United flop scored in a 3-1 Serie A victory over Fiorentina, before expressing his delight at joining what he described as an “incredible” team. The Denmark striker joined on loan with a £38 million obligation to buy and wasted no time in making an impact for Antonio Conte’s side.
Napoli head coach Antonio Conte was effusive in his praise for Rasmus Hojlund after the Danish forward, signed on a season-long loan from Manchester United, contributed to the team's 3-1 win at Fiorentina by scoring on debut. Conte, who managed Chelsea and Tottenham in the Premier League, joked about his former rivals, the Red Devils, and thanked them for letting Napoli sign Hojlund.
Manchester United fans couldn't believe that Rasmus Hojlund scored on his Napoli debut against Fiorentina after his Old Trafford exit. Antonio Conte pushed hard to bring Hojlund back to Serie A, securing a deal that could become permanent for £38 million ($51m) if the Italian champions secure Champions League football next season. Early signs suggest that wager could prove to be a masterstroke.
Rafael Leao admitted he 'can’t take risks' with his injury, ruling him out against Bologna and leaving AC Milan unsure when their star man will return.
