Michael Owen claims in-form United ace will ‘be a hero at the club’ if he carries on doing one thing

Michael Owen has expectations of Manchester United ace Rasmus Hojlund. 

The Dane added to his tally for the season yesterday in a comfortable 3-0 win over West Ham United at Old Trafford, celebrating his birthday in style by marking a fourth goal in four consecutive matches.

After being made to wait 14 Premier League games before opening his account as a Red, he seems to have opened the floodgates now and has certainly found his feet in England’s top division. It’ll also come as a huge relief to Erik ten Hag, who targeted the £72 million forward last summer.

The 21-year-old is now a mainstay in the starting 11 and he has supporters incredibly optimistic over his development continuing the upward trajectory it’s on given that he’s shown such prolific skills and potential at a young age.

Owen’s praise for Hojlund

Owen is one former player who knows exactly what it’s like to be a highly-rated prospect and after watching Hojlund’s opener on Premier League Productions, he said: “It is a very good goal. If he can keep doing that, he’ll be a hero at the club.”
