Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has compared Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund to the former Red Devils attacker Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

Fabregas said Hojlund is very smart, adding that the 21-year-old attacks the box really well.

Hojlund joined Man United from Atalanta last summer and has scored in his last six Premier League matches for Erik ten Hag’s side.
