“That’s your job” – Erling Haaland gives Rasmus Højlund a piece of advice after scoring for Man United

After Man United goals, Erling Haaland tells Rasmus Højlund, “That’s his job.”

After Rasmus Højlund of Manchester United scored goals at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag, Erling Haaland gave him some advice.

Ramsus Højlund looked on from the sidelines as Manchester City defeated Manchester United 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium last weekend. Erling Haaland scored against Erik ten Hag once more.

Højlund was present to support his club alongside Lisandro Martínez during the 2024 Manchester Derby on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League, despite being unable to participate versus City.

 

 

Højlund had a lot of comparisons to Haaland during the opening months of his career at Old Trafford, with both players being young, tall, blonde, athletic, and Scandinavian strikers arriving in the Premier League a season apart. They also had the added similarity of playing for the teams they respectively supported as a child.

However, Højlund had a mixed start domestically, only scoring for the first time in his 15th league appearance, but has since started to fly, scoring a total of 13 goals across all competitions for his new club.

Speaking on Tuesday afternoon, Haaland was asked about Højlund, to which the Norweigan striker replied with a piece of advice for the 21-year-old.

“His debut was a bit difficult, but it’s been much better since then,” Haaland told reporters.

“He’s a good player, he’s young, and he needs to continue to develop. As a Manchester United striker, he must also score goals; that’s his job.”
