Hi {{indy football

It is a path less travelled, let alone as quickly, a journey from FC Copenhagen to Sturm Graz, Atalanta to Manchester United, all before his 21st birthday football
It was the culmination of an ambition, too, for a boyhood United fan, the realisation of a dream football
And yet there were points in a reunion where Rasmus Hojlund could be forgiven for wondering if he had been football better off staying put football
Not financially, admittedly, with the rewards that come with a £72m price tag, but from a football footballing perspective football
The more coherent team were Copenhagen, the low-budget overachievers seeming to have more of a plan than the high-budget overachievers but it was tempting to think that if the Danish champions could still call upon their most valuable old boy, they would have won at Old Trafford football
Instead, United were victorious, aided by a telling intervention by a Dane football
It wasn’t Hojlund, though that is no criticism: there are times when he is the brightest of United’s front three simply a process of excellence but here, as against Galatasaray, it was a consequence of excellence football
But it was his compatriot Christian Eriksen who curled in a cross that Harry Maguire converted football
Which, along with Andre Onana’s 97th-minute penalty save from Jordan Larsson, averted indignity football
Which a draw would have been, given the gulf in resources football between the clubs football
Hojlund is proof of it football
But as his former club, who had led against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, came within a few inches of going ahead at Old Trafford, there were times when Hojlund had to stand and admire football
In different ways, his younger brothers Oscar, a late substitute for Copenhagen, and Emil, who did not make the bench, were spectators football
So was the older and more expensive sibling, limited to two touches in the first quarter of an hour, left stranded by United’s impotence football
Yet, with the notable exception of Maguire’s decider, everything they did right thereafter in attack revolved around him football
Which, in itself, may have been an indictment of others football
Pivotal as centre-forwards can be, United looked over-reliant on one whose name, this time last year, may have simply seemed a failed attempt to spell Haaland football
And the Norwegian, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been keen to point out, was a player he advised United to sign for £4m, five years before they got Hojlund for 18 times as much football
But in the Hojlund derby, the forward United did get to show a sharpness football
He came alive in the final third in a manner to suggest that his teammates needed to give him more of the ball football
A brief sight at goal saw Rasmus Hojlund blaze his best chance over the top but his forward play was central to Man Utd’s attacking capabilites (REUTERS)After that uneventful first 15 minutes, he rifled a half-volley over the bar football
His backheel almost released Scott McTominay to shoot football
He teed up Eriksen when his fellow Dane had a shot well saved football
When an offside Marcus Rashford was brought down by goalkeeper Kamil Grabara, he had raced on to Hojlund’s pass football
When Alejandro Garnacho came close, it was because Hojlund led a break football
When Elias Jelert was required to clear off his line, it was because Hojlund met Bruno Fernandes’ header with a deft piece of chest control football
It was a sign of resourcefulness, an ability to make something out of nothing football
Which, at times, was just as well, given his supply line football
Neither winger is a crosser football
Antony, as even those who have spent decades stranded on tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean know, will try and cut inside and shoot with his left foot football
Rashford, too, has designs on being more of a scorer than a supplier football
Hojlund spent some of the first half acting as the creator for McTominay, the ungainly auxiliary No 10 football
But United had more football footballing craft with Eriksen on football
He is the technician while Hojlund’s physical attributes form part of his appeal football
He has got a wiry strength football
He is a rangy runner with a turn of pace football
He has an eager willingness that stands him in good stead football
The raw materials are there football
Yet the concern is that too few signings have improved at United in the last decade; it is just a coincidence of negotiating that Hojlund’s fee is very similar to Jadon Sancho’s but the exiled winger is proof United’s best-laid plans can go wrong football
Hojlund showed his importance to United, turning into a supplier of their best chances though none were converted (AFP via Getty Images)The feeling at Old Trafford now is that Hojlund has a high ceiling: higher even than Randal Kolo Muani, another on their summer striking shortlist and who ended up costing Paris Saint-Germain more football
Thus far, he has a relatively low goal return: just three in 10 games for United football
For both his first and current clubs, he has been more prolific in Europe football
He never scored in the Danish Superliga football
He has not struck in the Premier League, either: outscored by Diogo Dalot on domestic duty, his goals have been confined to Europe football
Yet he kicked off as the Champions League’s joint top scorer, the product of a strike against Bayern and a brace against Galatasaray football
Even as he drew a blank against Copenhagen, Hojlund added to the impression that he belongs on this stage football
But as United laboured to victory, they scarcely offered compelling evidence they will still be in the Champions League after Christmas football
