At least they\u2019ve got someone who looks he\u2019ll mess people around and get his body in there. He\u2019s aggressive, and he\u2019s a runner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The thing for him is he\u2019s learning the game still. He\u2019s only played a couple of seasons of top level football and we\u2019re expected him to be Erling Haaland. That\u2019s the problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Manchester United haven\u2019t got anyone else with experience to back him up. We\u2019ve been watching Martial for 9-10 years at Manchester United and he\u2019s not what Erik ten Hag wants. This lad, lot of pressure on him, big price tag, but it was an encouraging start.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, United boss Ten Hag felt his side should have been awarded a penalty after Hojlund went down inside the box from a challenge by Gabriel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;The performance is right, we played a good game but everything went against us. And then you don\u2019t win the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You saw the game, it&#8217;s not offside, that is the wrong angle, then a penalty on Hojlund, we concede a goal and that is a foul on Jonny Evans.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>United were level at 1-1 after Marcus Rashford&#8217;s opener was cancelled out by Martin Odegaard, before Arsenal&#8217;s record signing Rice secured a 96th minute winner which was shortly followed by Gabriel Jesus netting on his return from injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12476403\/Gary-Neville-heaps-praise-Manchester-United-striker-Rasmus-Hojlund-72m-star-debut-loss-Arsenal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gary Neville heaps praise on Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund after the \u00a372m star made his debut in loss to [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
