Reactions have trailed Ramus Hojlund’s instant impact at Napoli after leaving Manchester United, MySportDab reports.
The Danish attacking sensation took just 14 minutes to open his goal account with the Serie A champions.
This is a stark contrast to the 1,027 minutes he needed at Old Trafford to do so and his enduring duck afterwards.
Under the current United manager Ruben Amorim, his misfortunes at the Old Trafford club deepened as he was pushed down the pecking order.
With key attacking additions to the team such as Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo, it was apparent that the former Atalanta forward’s future lay away from Old Trafford.
At the cusp of the just-concluded transfer window, he was loaned out to Napoli, joining his ex-United teammate Scott McTominay.
The 23-year-old waited for Napoli’s visit to Fiorentina to make his debut and it was a sparkling start for the player.
He scored just 14 minutes into the game to give Napoli the lead, paving the way for the Parthenopeans’ 3-1 victory.
This remarkable performance has reawakened the conversation among fans on how top players struggled at Man United lately and overperformed after leaving the club.
A fan wrote, “Hojlund has once again proven Man United is the problem.”
Another corroborated, “It’s no longer a question whether Manchester United are the problem after this Hojlund’s masterclass vs Fiorentina.”
Another said, “But what is killing players’ careers at Manchester United?”
Napoli secured Ramus Hojlund’s loan deal for £5m after Romelu Lukaku’s injury. They have also agreed to make the deal permanent for £38m if Napoli qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
