Rasmus Hojlund: Man United loanee returns to form with an assist | OneFootball

Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund was in action on loan for SSC Napoli in Italy last night.

Back to winning ways

The Serie A champions have found their league form tough going lately but Hojlund helped his new side grab a much-needed victory over Atalanta.

The Southern Italian side won 3-1 with Hojlund assisting the first goal.

His sumptuous flick played in David Neres who ran onto the ball and calmly slotted the ball past the Atalanta keeper.

He also made one key pass and created one big chance in the match.

Hojlund also won a total of four duels during the contest, two in the air and a double in ground duels.

The Dane could only complete 69% of his passes and also failed in his only dribble attempt.

Hojlund will likely next be in action when his side host Qarabag FK in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Harry Amass

The 18 year old played the entire 90 minutes of Sheffield Wednesday’s 0-3 derby defeat to Sheffield United.

In a tough afternoon, he picked up a yellow card just after the hour mark.

He failed to produce any key passes and only completed 76% of his passes in the game.

In a frustrating afternoon, he attempted 12 dribbles but could only complete one of them against a tough United defence.

Amass was busy in defence, making three clearances and two interceptions. He also won seven ground contests and two of his three aerial duels.

The young left wing back will next be in action when his Sheffield Wednesday side travel to Millwall on Wednesday night.
