A compilation of Rasmus Hojlund's cameo appearance against Arsenal on Sunday has gone viral.

Hojlund made his Manchester United debut following his £72 million summer transfer from Atalanta.

But his side were on the wrong end of a 3-1 defeat as the Red Devils suffered yet another crushing defeat in North London this season.

It's Man United's second defeat in just four Premier League games, having lost to Tottenham 2-0 last month.

However, Hojlund's showing at the Emirates has excited Erik ten Hag and former Man United defender Gary Neville.

The 20-year-old entered the fray just after the hour mark and made an instant impression as he showed off his physicality, dueling with Arsenal defender Gabriel.

Inside the box, he nearly got off a flick attempt at goal after Marcus Rashford created an opening. He also ran through on goal but was denied by Gabriel, with Ten Hag believing he was fouled.

The budding Dane also linked brilliantly with Casemiro who threaded a ball to Alejandro Garnacho, who slotted home before VAR ruled out his goal.


Hojlund's outing against Arsenal impressed Ten Hag, who hailed his performance after the result.

"I thought he was very good, he made a big impact," said the Dutch boss. "But, I also want to give credit to Martial, I thought he was very good, too. There are promising signs for us."

Neville also heaped praise on the Man United starlet, stating he could be the answer to the club's search for a prolific forward.

"Manchester United haven’t had a striker that they can hit. That’s the problem," he said on Sky Sports.

"Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t a classic targetman, Martial’s certainly not, Rashford’s not. At least they’ve got someone who looks he’ll mess people around and get his body in there. He’s aggressive, and he’s a runner.

"The thing for him is he’s learning the game still. He’s only played a couple of seasons of top level football and we’re expected him to be Erling Haaland. That’s the problem.

"Manchester United haven’t got anyone else with experience to back him up. We’ve been watching Martial for 9-10 years at Manchester United and he’s not what Erik ten Hag wants. This lad, lot of pressure on him, big price tag, but it was an encouraging start."
