Hojlund was signed from Atalanta in 2023 and had two underwhelming seasons at Old Trafford, scoring 26 goals in 95 appearances for the Red Devils.

The Denmark international has gone on loan to Napoli and has started brilliantly under Antonio Conte, scoring four goals in his first six games.

Club legend Scholes feels far too much pressure was on Hojlund when he arrived in Manchester at just 20 years old, tasked with leading the line for the Red Devils.
