Manchester United fans are stunned after discovering Rasmus Hojlund can run the 100m in under 11 seconds.
Hojlund will complete a £72million move to Old Trafford in the coming days after United finally reach a deal with Atalanta. Although he only scored 10 goals for the Serie A side last season, Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag is confident he can be the solution to his problems with the striker.
Part of that hope probably comes from Hojlund’s astonishing pace, which rivals that of the fastest forwards in the Premier League. His speed was revealed last season by Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini, with the Italian comparing him to Erling Haaland. “Hojlund has this spirit, this energy, this intensity, but also this technical quality which is simply remarkable. He too still has so much room for improvement. “He has very similar qualities to Haaland,” Gasperini said after beating Lazio in February.
“He’s so fast, he can do 100m in under 11 seconds and it’s not even a big effort. Given his size, he has a low center of gravity and can move his legs very quickly. I’m sure he will have a great career, he is getting stronger every day.”
Those comments have now surfaced and United fans are delighted that Ten Hag now has an attacking streaker to fall back on. One person said, “We’re actually signing a supernatural athlete.”

A second added: “Really shows why [Erik ten Hag] said he wants to be the deadliest transition team in the world.” The fans were thrilled about it, but that IS a quality of a pressing team. It is crucial to have ball winners and carriers on board so that we can satisfy Rashy and Højlund in times like these. It will be fun to watch.”
A third wrote: ‘It’s amazingly fast’, while a fourth added: ‘It’s really insane.’ While it was widely reported that the deal to sign Hojlund was in place, Ten Hag declined to talk about his re-signing.
“First of all, I can’t talk about a player who is signed to another club. But the first question is that we have to raise the bar. But raising the bar is necessary because the competition is very strong,” said he declared. “We have a lot of competitors fighting for the top four in the Premier League, so it’s going to be a big battle. It’s not about two or three clubs, it’s about seven, eight, nine clubs who can all finish in the end.” in the top four.
“So it’s going to be a very exciting competition, I’m sure. I think the difference is that, compared to last year, we now have the foundations with this team. Because we laid the foundations last season.” “So the team, the way of playing, and now we have to find the right players to adapt and lift the bar. We have passed Andre Allana, we have passed Mason Mount and now we are looking for an hour of top.”
