The Denmark international started this season as a temporary transfer but is now almost certain to become a permanent transfer, returning to Serie A.
Hoylund has struggled to impress at Manchester United, but previously looked like an exciting young talent at his former club Atalanta.
It seems like being back in Italy has turned out well for Hojlund, so it’s not too surprising that this deal becomes permanent, as previously reported by Fabrizio Romano in the X-Post below…
What Rasmus Hojlund said about Manchester United
Hoylund spoke about his struggles at United, saying that at one point during his time at United he felt things were over for him, but that he “never” believed he could return to his best.
Romano says he feels he has rediscovered his love for the game since leaving MUFC for Napoli, so watch below…
“At a certain point, it felt like it was over,” Hojland said.
“Here in Napoli, I rediscovered my love for football. Even people back in Denmark looked down on me, but I never stopped believing.”
Players loving life after Manchester United
This sounds pretty awful for United, but it’s clear that the talented young player is very happy to be spending time at the club.
It will be interesting to see if the 23-year-old can continue to shine upon his return to Italian football, but he is certainly not the only player to have improved in recent years away from United.
Napoli team-mate Scott McTominay is just one example, along with Marcus Rashford, currently on loan at Barcelona, and Anthony, currently at Real Betis.
