The Manchester United striker dared to compare himself to Manchester City star Erling Haaland.
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has admitted he is not yet on the level of Manchester City centre-forward Erling Haaland.
“Not yet at Haaland’s level”
Hojlund is often compared to Haaland in the English press due to the fact that he is also Scandinavian and is a former RB Salzburg player like the Norwegian. Comparisons that the neo-Mancunian refutes.
In an interview with TV2, he declared: “I hope that one day I can be part of the Manchester City team: “I hope that one day I can reach their level, but for now I think it is too early. Erling is in any case the best striker in the world, if not the best football player in the world.”
“I don’t really want to be compared to him, but I hope that one day I can be like him.” Who knows ? I’m only 20 years old. We will see how it ends,” added the former Atalanta player.
