FC Copenhagen manager, Jacob Neestrup has labelled striker Rasmus Hojlund as the ‘biggest strength’ in Manchester United’s squad.
Neestrup stated this ahead of Copenhagen’s UEFA Champions League clash with Man United on Tuesday night at Old Trafford.
When asked how he hopes to handle Hojlund, Neestrup told The United Stand: “The plan is we know that Hojlund is the biggest strength in the Manchester United squad, and what remains is that we have to be true to ourselves.
“I know we are not going to have the ball as much as we normally have in the Danish league, but when we have the ball we need to show that we are a proper football team. Manchester United are a team with high speed players, and players that are top, top, level in football.”
He added: “It is a massive game for all the players, for FC Copenhagen and for all Danish football but we are 95 minutes away from getting a good result as a team and for me as a manager.”
Hojlund started his professional career at Copenhagen before moving on to Sturm Graz, Atalanta and then Man United this year.
The 20-year-old is yet to score in the Premier League, but has netted three goals in the Champions League for Erik ten Hag’s side.
