Not Onana or Amarabat – Bruno Fernandes names Man United’s best summer signing with his three best qualities
Erik ten Hag’s top priority in the summer transfer window is to revive Manchester United’s struggling strikers.
He raised eyebrows when he approved a £72m deal for 20-year-old Danish player Rasmus Hojlund, who scored nine Serie A goals for Atalanta last season.

Manchester United is in dire need of a new centre-back after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo earlier this year. To solve this problem, they temporarily called on Wout Weghorst as a temporary solution. Given Anthony Martial’s ongoing fitness issues, the signing of a relatively inexperienced player like Hojlund seems to come as a surprise to many.
United fans had to wait until last weekend, when Hojlund came off the field in the second half against Arsenal, to see him in action. Despite coming here with a persistent back injury, Bruno Fernandes is still very impressed with Hojlund’s progress.
Fernandes described Hojlund as a hard-working young player, eager to integrate into the team and regain fitness quickly. He believes that Hojlund’s presence will bring energy, strength and hopeful goals to the team. Fernandes emphasized the importance of establishing a strong bond not only with Hojlund but also with the other wingers and attacking strikers. He expressed his commitment to serving attackers, ensuring that they feel supported and have opportunities to score, which ultimately brings joy to the team and its supporters.
