What’s next?
Earlier in January, the youngster admitted that he is a huge supporter of Manchester United. “Now that you ask, I will not hide the fact that I am a huge Manchester United fan. So personally, it would be one of the biggest things for me, but of course, that doesn’t mean that I would turn down other big clubs if the offers come at some point,” he said. [ Arsenal Newsnow ]
Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini echoed that Hoijland has similar features to Haaland. “The characteristics are very similar, particularly in accelerations. Hoijland is a very fast player and he does the 100 metres in less than 11 seconds. For his height, he has a low centre of gravity and an incredible stride frequency. I’m convinced he will have a great career. Technically, Hoijland always shows the variety and better things,” he added.
