Ronaldo regrets Man Utd miss as 372m Hojlund loses mentor

A former Manchester United star believes Rasmus Hojlund’s struggles stem from missing the chance to work with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Former Red Devils star Clayton Blackmore believes Hojlund’s time at Old Trafford could have been different if he’d had the chance to learn from the legendary Portuguese forward.0

He sympathised with the Denmark international and voiced concerns over Erik ten Hag’s recruitment strategy during his tenure at the club.

0“I do feel for Hojlund. He’s a young boy and he’s still learning,” Blackmore told AceOdds.

“I think Ronaldo would have been a great player for Hojlund to learn from and play off. Now he’s been thrown into the deep end and has to learn by himself.

“He only had 13 senior goals that season when United signed him which is another big decision from Ten Hag. I don't know what he was thinking, bringing in so many unproven players in the Premier League. It’s a different beast.”
