Former Manchester United star, Gary Neville has told the club’s fans to perish the hope that striker, Rasmus Hojlund will one day become a gifted Premier League striker like Sergio Aguero or Erling Haaland.
He, however, said the player could develop into a 20-goal-a-season striker like Ollie Watkins.
Hojlund left Italian Serie A side, Atalanta to join the Red Devils last summer and has been the club’s first-choice striker this season.
But Neville thinks it would have been better if the 21-year-old played as a back-up behind a more experienced striker.
He has managed 14 goals and provided two assists in 40 games for the Red Devils this season and is currently going through a rough patch.
“I looked at Ollie Watkins before. He’s not going to become a Haaland or an Aguero, one of the great strikers in Premier League history, I don’t think.
“But he can become an Ollie Watkins. You can look at someone like that, I think I can get to 20 goals,” he told Sky Sports.
“I wish he was the second striker this season. I wish he was learning.”
