Hojlund has spoken about his situation, saying, "I'm still very young. People often forget that. I'm only 22. Not every striker scores 100 goals by this age." He also acknowledged that he could have performed better last season and is working to improve his skills.
Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, decided to loan Hojlund to Napoli, with a reported £34m obligation to buy clause that will be activated if Napoli qualifies for the Champions League. This decision has left Hojlund feeling heartbroken and has led him to believe that he is better than another striker, Benjamin Sesko, who joined Manchester United this summer.
Hojlund was not informed of Manchester United's true intentions regarding his transfer this summer, which has added to his disappointment. He is now looking to prove himself at Napoli and improve his skills to achieve his goals in the future.
