"The Denmark international looks back to his best after a strong start with Napoli, despite generally struggling in his two years at Man Utd. Hojlund is now linking up with former Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne in Antonio Conte's side, and it's a partnership that seems to be working well. De Bruyne is clearly a fan of Hojlund, with the Metro quoting him as saying he's a quality player who can smell goals."
"This follows three goals in his first five games for Napoli, with the 22-year-old looking like the big prospect he showed himself to be in a previous spell in Italy with Atalanta.

"Similar has happened with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Scott McTominay, and it's certainly a bit of a worrying pattern. Hojlund looked low on confidence as he struggled for goals at United, and it seems like this keeps on happening to players who then rediscover their self-belief after they leave."
Rasmus Hojlund left Manchester United to join Napoli on loan in the summer. The Denmark international has scored three goals in his first five games and looks back to his best after a strong start with Napoli. He links up with Kevin De Bruyne in Antonio Conte's side, and De Bruyne praised him as a quality player who can smell goals. Hojlund struggled for goals and confidence during two years at Manchester United. Several other players have also improved after leaving United. Manchester United invested in Benjamin Sesko as Hojlund's replacement, but Sesko has not started brightly for his new side.
