Hojlund became United’s primary striker target after the club was discouraged from bidding for Tottenham’s Harry Kane.Senior sources at United believe that Hojlund is a “rough diamond” who could develop into one of Europe’s top goalscorers under the guidance of coach Erik Ten Hag. The Dutchman, who shares his agency with the new United striker, held video calls with Hojlund towards the end of last season and liked the young man’s personality.
