Rasmus Hojlund scores just 14 minutes into Napoli debut as £72m Man United flop makes instant impact after Old Trafford struggles

Manchester United's on-loan striker Rasmus Hojlund made a sensational start to life in Napoli after scoring just 14 minutes into his debut on Saturday night.

The Dane, who joined the Red Devils for £72million in 2023, fell out of favour with United boss Ruben Amorim ahead of the summer transfer window and was loaned out to Napoli on deadline day after becoming surplus to requirements.

The deal, which includes a £38m obligation to buy at the end of the season, offers Hojlund the chance to silence his critics after a challenging period at Old Trafford which saw him score just 26 goals in 95 appearances across all competitions.
