Rasmus Hojlund, a young Danish striker and Manchester United fan, faced a challenging period at Old Trafford. Despite an impressive debut season with 16 goals in all competitions, his second season was marred by injuries and limited playing time. Hojlund played through a foot injury in the final months of the 2024/25 season, which affected his performance and confidence. His struggles were compounded by the arrival of new signing Benjamin Sesko and a lack of consistent opportunities, especially after Manchester United's exit from the EFL Cup following a defeat to Grimsby Town. After being informed he had no future at United during a meeting with club decision-makers, Hojlund left for Napoli on a season-long loan, with an option for a €44 million transfer if Napoli qualifies for the Champions League. Despite his departure, Hojlund scored his first goal for Napoli shortly after arriving and is expected to face Manchester City in the Champions League. His time at United highlights the pressures young players face in a demanding environment, with early responsibilities and high expectations.
