Manchester United’s key striker has scored just once in the Premier League this season – against Aston Villa – and although he scored an impressive goal in the Champions League, he was unable to prevent Erik ten Hag’s side from a shock exit.
However, the 20-year-old failed to score in the 0-0 draw with Liverpool, but Van Dijk was impressed by what he saw from the Danish. “I mentioned Rasmus Hojlund the other day. “He’s young and still learning, but he’s very strong and quick on the ball,” Van Dijk told France Football. “My favorite thing about playing at the highest level is that you meet new players and face new challenges every game.”Van Dijk calls Giroud his toughest opponent. Virgil van DijkVan Dijk has faced some of the world’s best strikers at the highest level of his career, including in the Premier League, Champions League and international football, and believes former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is the most good player of his life. It was. We met face to face.”I think I will stay with Olivier Giroud.
Whenever you stop him and look like you give him a good pass, he always scores with his head, feet and knees. “He often scored goals for me,” he said with a laugh. “I can’t forget Sergio Aguero, who was very strong after that, and of course Erling Haaland and Gabriel Jesus. They all make your game difficult.”Liverpool and Van Dijk are on winter break and will not return to action until next week’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has spoken about Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, saying he is confident the Red Devils’ summer signing will eventually pay off. Hojlund joined Old Trafford from Atalanta for €74m this summer and has struggled to cover that fee.
