MANCHESTER UNITED new boy Rasmus Hojlund\u2019s former coach has admitted his surprise at the star\u2019s \u00a372m transfer – and says his brothers were BETTER than him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Red Devils finally unveiled the Danish striker, 20, last month after completing the deal with Atalanta.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Hojlund had only joined the Italian side 12 months earlier for \u00a315m from Austrian side Sturm Graz.<\/p>\n

He scored ten times for the Serie A side in 34 games and has been compared to Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland over recent months.<\/p>\n

That was after he fired in six in six caps for his country.<\/p>\n

However, after arriving with an injury, Hojlund was able to make his debut from the bench during last week's 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.<\/p>\n

But his former youth coach is adamant that it was his two younger brothers who looked more destined for the big stage rather than Hojlund at a young age.<\/p>\n

Christian Mouroux, who played a key role in the forward\u2019s development, told the Daily Mail: \u201cHis two younger brothers \u2014 twins Emil and Oscar, both now at FC Copenhagen \u2014 were more obvious talents. Rasmus wasn\u2019t a standout.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were other players his age just as good.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis talents you see today came much later. I won\u2019t lie, I\u2019m very surprised by how much Rasmus went for.\u201d<\/p>\n

FC Copenhagen allowed the powerhouse to leave for just \u00a31.5m in January 2022 but just 18 months later he is now set to lead the line for one of the biggest clubs on the planet in United.<\/p>\n

Mouroux, who is the sporting director at Horsholm Usserod Idraetsklub, the amateur club that the ace played for until he was 12, said: \u201cThere was no single moment when we thought he was going to be a star.<\/p>\n

\u201cSigning for a team who\u2019ve bought him to perform now, it\u2019s surprising. Knowing him, it\u2019s a type of pressure he will thrive under. His father set him up for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout dad Anders giving them all individual coaching after everyone else had gone home, along with their mum driving them all on, none of the brothers would\u2019ve made it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnders was a carpenter by trade and built a pitch in the basement for when the weather was bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes he would train one son for one hour then come back with another and then another. There was always a Hojlund on our pitches.<\/p>\n

\u201cRasmus still comes here to train when home. Brings his own cones and balls. Nobody has ever seen dedication like his, but it\u2019s in their blood.\u201d<\/p>\n
