Rasmus Hojlund's permanent move is just a 'formality', Napoli chief brags - after Man United outcast opened up on move away from Old Trafford nightmare

Rasmus Hojlund will almost certainly be a Napoli player next season, the club's sporting director has stressed, after the Manchester United outcast has hit the ground running on the Amalfi Coast.

The Denmark striker booked a late return to Serie A at the tail-end of the summer after being informed that he was not in Ruben Amorim's plans for the season ahead.

The 22-year-old had joined Man United just two seasons early in a £72million deal with his former club Atalanta, but scored only four Premier League goals in his final term at Old Trafford.
