Man Utd Star Responds After Sealing Old Trafford Exit

Rasmus Hojlund has confirmed that he will not be returning to Manchester United at the end of the season, while also delivering a heartfelt farewell message to the club.

The Dane assisted Scott McTominay’s opening goal before scoring in stoppage time to help Napoli secure a 3-0 win over Pisa and UEFA Champions League qualification.

As a result, Gli Azzurri are now obliged to make Hojlund’s move permanent for a reported fee of £38 million (around R847 million), as part of the agreement between the two clubs.

The Dane admitted that the permanent move feels “weird”.

“This goal felt symbolic because it means two things,” Hojlund wrote on social media.

“We now secured Champions League with Napoli, which means that because of my contract, I’m now officially a Napoli player, and I’m saying goodbye to Manchester United. That feels weird, because for the past year, I already feel like a Napoli player.

“The way you fans supported me made me feel at home and let me find my confidence again is something I’m so grateful for. To say goodbye to Manchester United is something that also feels emotional.

“My childhood dream came true by playing at Old Trafford in a red jersey. So the goal today symbolises a new confident start, in which I will give everything for the time ahead at Napoli, and a thank you to all the fans, players and staff of Manchester United who made the dream I had as a kid come true.

“It’s time for new dreams, so let’s chase them.”

The 23-year-old has made his mark since joining Napoli at the beginning of the season, netting 15 goals and providing eight assists in 43 appearances across all competitions.

He will now be hoping to improve on those numbers as a permanent Napoli player from next season.
