Manchester United did not have the best of matches on the previous day of the UEFA Champions League. The Red Devils fell to Galatasaray at Old Trafford and have 0 points after their first two games. The English team has placed itself among the big favorites to advance in its group, but things have not gone as expected and therefore, there is already concern in the club.

 

However, one of the great news from the match between Galatasaray and Manchester United was that Rasmus Hojlund continues to score in the UEFA Champions League. The Danish player scored a double that seemed to give the team victory in their stadium. However, the defense failed to respond and some errors by André Onana were also extremely costly for this duel. Now, the praise received from a Manchester United legend towards Rasmus Hojlund is surprising.

In words with TNT Sports, Paul Scholes, Manchester United legend, did not hesitate to give a few words to the Danish footballer after his great performance. According to the former Red Devils midfielder, in the UEFA Champions League match, he saw things in Hojlund from Van Nistelrooy. Something quite curious due to the dimensions between both footballers. However, it is normal to think and get excited because Manchester United had not had a reference center forward for some years. A killer had been needed in the area and Hojlund could become the ideal striker for Ten Hag.

 

What did Paul Scholes say?

“He scored his two goals brilliantly. I loved his second goal. He didn't give the center back any chance. He also had another goal disallowed and I thought: 'Wow, there's a bit of Ruud van Nistelrooy in there.' "It moved me," said the Manchester United legend for TNT Sports about the Danish striker's performance in the UEFA Champions League last day.
