Manchester United Loans Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli in £38m Deal

Manchester United's decision to loan Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli, including a £38 million obligation to buy, has shocked his teammates, particularly Patrick Dorgu, who expressed surprise given Hojlund's initial determination to stay and compete for his place. The club's aggressive summer spending of over £200 million on attackers Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo limited Hojlund's opportunities, prompting manager Ruben Amorim to decide on his departure. Hojlund struggled to meet expectations at United, scoring 26 goals in 95 games, with a disappointing second season netting only four Premier League goals as the team finished 15th. Dorgu noted that while Christian Eriksen's exit was expected, Hojlund's move was a bigger shock, underscoring the unpredictability of football careers. Although reluctant, Hojlund accepted the transfer after Amorim indicated his reduced role for the upcoming season, and he now has the chance to play in the Champions League with Napoli. Despite the move, Dorgu hopes to continue seeing both players regularly on the Danish national team.
