He had a difficult time at United, but now he’s doing very well here.“He’s still young. He has a lot of time ahead of him.”United are unlikely to benefit if the striker does indeed improve, as it’s nearly set in stone that Napoli will activate Hojlund’s £38 million buy option and sign him permanently at the end of the term.Still, club chiefs are satisfied with their decision to offload Hojlund and bring in Benjamin Sesko instead, with the Slovenian now on a stellar run of seven goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances.What form has Hojlund been in this season?In regard to how the former No.9 is faring in Italy, he has returned 14 goals and four assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.He’s also already claimed silverware in sky blue, as Napoli lifted the Supercoppa Italiana following a 2-0 win over Bologna just before Christmas.However, they do sit third-placed in the league table heading into their clash with AC Milan tonight, so are tasked with playing catch-up to leaders Inter Milan in the coming weeks.
