Manchester United had numerous players in loan action this week. To find out where all of them are plying their trade this season, click here. Rasmus Hojlund The Danish striker has not had the best start to 2026 but scored his first goal of the year in a 2-3 defeat to Chelsea. On 43 minutes, smart movement inside the box led to him rifling a left-footed shot into the top of the net to give the Chelsea keeper no chance. Hojlund completed both his dribbles and carried the ball forward six times in the match. He also won four of his nine duel attempts in the game. In spite of his goal, Napoli failed to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, finishing 30th in the table. The striker will next be in action when Napoli host Fiorentina on Saturday.
