In a thrilling Champions League match on Tuesday night, Manchester United’s new sensation, Rasmus Hojlund, made headlines with a stunning performance that drew comparisons to the club’s legendary striker, Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Despite Hojlund’s two-goal heroics, United ended up on the losing side with a final score of 3-2, also ended by a red card for Casemiro.

Paul Scholes, a former Manchester United midfield maestro and club legend, was quick to praise on the young Danish striker. Scholes, known for his footballing vision, stated that Hojlund’s style and goal-scoring abilities reminded him of the great Ruud Van Nistelrooy during his prime at Old Trafford.

Hojlund, signed during the summer transfer window, showcased his class in front of the goal against Galatasaray. His first goal came as a result of a clinical finish with his header, same of Van Nistelrooy’s trademark precision inside the penalty area. The second goal was equally impressive, showcasing Hojlund’s ability to strike from distance, much like the Dutch legend.
