Manchester United were mocked over social media as Rasmus Hojlund continued his fine goalscoring form since leaving the club in the summer. The striker found the back of the net once again in Denmarkâs World Cup-qualifying clash with Greece on Sunday evening, having also made a brilliant start to life with Serie A champions Napoli following his departure from Old Trafford in September.
Rasmus Hojlund has enjoyed a impressive start to life with Napoli, scoring four goals in six outings, following his arrival on loan from Manchester United on deadline day. Denmark Brian Riemer has since aimed a dig at the Premier League side for their use of the young striker, who struggled for consistency at Old Trafford following his arrival from Atalanta in 2023.
Napoli head coach Antonio Conte is delighted with the performances of Rasmus Hojlund, who is spending the 2025-26 season on loan from Manchester United. According to the Italian, the 22-year-old still has "significant room for improvement", but believes that he "has the potential to be a star" and is proving his quality after scoring four goals in his first six games for the Partenopei.
Former Real Madrid and England manager Fabio Capello hailed Antonio Conte bringing Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli as a "clever decision" as the Manchester United flop's "desire for redemption" is becoming evident. After being included in Ruben Amorim's 'bomb squad' in pre-season, the Danish forward completed an initial loan move to the Italian champions late in the transfer window.
Former Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen is "incredibly happy" for Rasmus Hojlund after his Denmark team-mate's "great" start to life at Napoli. After a frustrating spell at Old Trafford where chances were few and confidence was crushed, Hojlund has exploded into form at Napoli. Four goals in six games, including crucial winners against Sporting and Genoa, have turned the 22-year-old into the talk of Naples.
Rasmus Hojlund has lauded the impact Antonio Conte is having on him now that he is playing for Napoli. The Dane has a new lease of life back in Italy, having previously played in Serie A for Atalanta, and netted in his team's 2-1 win over Genoa at the weekend. Ex-Manchester United teammate Scott McTominay has been a similar beneficiary of the much-travelled coach.
Rasmus Hojlund continues to make Manchester United question their decision to let him leave Old Trafford during the summer transfer window, with the Red Devils outcast netting another crucial goal for Napoli in what is quickly becoming a productive loan spell. The Denmark international grabbed a match-winning effort for the reigning Serie A champions in their clash with Genoa.
Are Bayern Munich the strongest side in Europe right now? They're certainly not far off it. The Germans maintained their flawless start to the 2025-26 season with a 3-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend. Unsurprisingly, Harry Kane was among the goals again, as the free-scoring striker maintained his record-breaking start to the campaign.
Benjamin Sesko got himself on the scoresheet and helped Manchester United register their third Premier League win of the season, with the Slovenian receiving a congratulatory message from the man he was brought in to replace. Indeed, Rasmus Hojlund, who has been in fine form on loan at Napoli, took to social media and expressed his happiness at the Red Devils' frontman's exploits.
Rasmus Hojlund thanked his team-mate Kevin De Bruyne after the 34-year-old Belgian provided assists for both of his goals as Napoli beat Sporting CP on Wednesday. The Danish striker scored a match-winning brace in the 2-1 victory in the Champions League, their first in the competition this season having lost 2-0 to Manchester City two weeks ago.
Kevin De Bruyne has likened Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester City striker Erling Haaland after the striker scored a decisive double in Napoli's 2-1 Champions League win over Sporting CP on Wednesday. The Manchester United loanee showed composure and power with De Bruyne providing both goals as the pair's bright start to life in Italy continues.
Rasmus Hojlund produced a statement performance for Napoli in the Champions League, scoring twice against Sporting CP and celebrating by pointing to the competitionâs badge. The on-loan Manchester United striker seemed to send a message to his parent club, who are enduring a season without European football under Ruben Amorim, which has not been going down well in Manchester.
Rasmus Hojlund has revealed he plans on staying at Napoli after joining the Serie A champions from Manchester United in an initial loan transfer. After ending an unsuccessful period at Old Trafford at the end of the summer transfer window, the Danish striker is off to a strong start on his return to Italy and is feeling comfortable in Antonio Conte's side.
Rasmus Hojlund has opened up on his admiration for Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and the hard work that has driven his career. The Napoli striker, back in Serie A after two seasons at Manchester United, highlighted Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyokeres as the worldâs best behind CR7. Hojlund also reflected on his early sporting life, and ambitions at Napoli.
Peter Schmeichel admits that Antony was ânever good enough for Manchester Unitedâ but the Red Devils legend has questioned why Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund were allowed to leave Old Trafford. The Scotland international midfielder and Danish striker are now team-mates again in Italy at Napoli after surprisingly being deemed surplus to requirements.
"Naples has always been marginalised by the rest of Italy. It is a city that suffers the most unfair racism," said Diego Maradona. When he played for Napoli in the more prosperous northern cities like Milan and Turin, he and his team-mates would be subjected to banners reading 'Welcome to Italy'; 'Napoli, cholera sufferers' or 'Vesuvius, wash them with fire'.
