Hojlund only needed 14 minutes in his debut for Antonio Cones Men to open his account for the Italian champion on Saturday.

The 22-year-old helped his new team to maintain their 100 percent record in the league during a 3-1 away win in Fiorentina.

It was his first appearance for every club this season, which was excluded from each of the first three games of the Premier League by United.

The striker, who was also excluded from Red Devil’s Carabao Cup against Grimsby last month, was exceeded for the requirements after the arrival of Benjamin Sesko.

Talk sports reported in June that head coach Ruben Amorim preferred to keep Joshua Zirkzee and sell Hojlund this summer.

After the Denmark had expressed its intentions internationally to stay and fight his place at United, he finally had to accept his future elsewhere.

However, his decision to follow Scott McTominay to Napoli seems to be inspired after his impressive debut.

Hojlund’s strike doubled the leadership of the visitors the night after Kevin de Bruyne scored the goal from the penalty point.

It was his first goal since he joined United for a seasonal leader to buy with the obligation when Napoli qualified for the Champions League.

If he were triggered, he would complete a permanent switch for £ 38 million – just two years after arriving in Old Trafford for 72 million GBP.

Brassell said about the Transuropa Podcast of Talksport and said: “Hojlund scored a fantastic goal of scoring her 2-0, and he immediately clicked.

“He then talked about what an incredible opportunity it was to go to Napoli.

“It always felt as if United was interested in getting rid of him when he should go, and maybe he was just waiting for an opportunity that would probably not come into his form in recent years.

“But really, the Romelu Lukaku injury has changed everything.

“It meant that they had to go back into the market for a striker when they thought they had completed their transfer market.

“And then he comes to the team and a really very self -confident finish.”

Conte is tease United after Hojlund’s Napoli -Debüt

The manager of ex-Schelsea and Tottenham fired a cheeky trench on the Red Devils after Hojlund had walked on the floor when he returned to Italy.

“Hojlund is only 22 years old, we got him from Manchester United because we were lucky enough to do that with Mctominay,” joked Conte.

Red Devils Academy Graduate McTominay was appointed the most valuable player of Serie A after scoring 12 goals in 34 appearances on the way to Napoli to win Scudetto in his first year.

The Scottish star is part of a trend at United, where the players have regained their shape after leaving the club.

Lukaku, Marcus Rashford, Antony, Memphis Depay, Anthony Elanga, Dean Henderson and Angel di Maria are just a few most recent examples.

Hojlund regretted the latest transfer

Hojlund has now threatened to become the latest a few weeks after his time Brand A ‘£ 70 million trialists’ who is not a Premier League quality.

However, Brassell added the Trans Europe Express Podcast: “So you know when you say: ‘It’s not me, you are?'”

“Well, it’s not him, it is united, I think it is clear here because he promises to be only the next in a long list of players who have been at Manchester United, but succeeded in getting somewhere else.

“I mean, what does that say for United?

“Not only in the [Ruben] Amorim regime, but I think in successive regimes of United, when a player goes out and only the player he should have been, the player from whom he bought.

“It is a good business for United until he has a good season and you can pick him up for a fee that looks cheap.”
