Former football player Paul Merson had the following thoughts: Comparison between Man United’s Hojlund and blockbuster signature Mykhailo Mudryk Chelsea side. Sharing on Sky Sports, Merson commented:
Hojlund and Mudryk.
“Rasmus Hojlund looked good. However, his performance was only in the last 20 minutes of the match. I witnessed Mykhailo Mudryk’s performance in 20 minutes against Liverpool in January. Since then, Mudryk has gone missing. in Chelsea colors”.
Hojlund’s presence is expected to help coach Erik ten Hag solve the number 9 problem in Man United’s attack. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford was returned to his natural left wing position.
