West Ham ace raves about Manchester United man he ‘really rates’ after 3-0 win
Michail Antonio praised Rasmus Hojlund for his 10th goal for Manchester United against West Ham, calling it a ‘great strike’ and acknowledging that the Danish striker is finally proving himself in the Premier League. Speaking after Erik ten Hag’s side beat David Moyes’ Hammers at Old Trafford, Antonio emphasized that he had always believed in Hojlund, despite his slow start in the league.
Antonio, like many others, had seen the potential in Hojlund from the beginning and was not surprised to see him silencing his critics. He highlighted Hojlund’s physicality, involvement in team play, and willingness to score goals. He specifically praised the quality of his goal against West Ham and recognized his overall ability as a striker.
After scoring a late winner against Aston Villa on Boxing Day, Hojlund has now found his rhythm and is proving his worth in the Premier League. Antonio stressed the importance of self-belief and being able to take advantage of opportunities. He also emphasized the role of a center forward in bringing the team together and not just focusing on scoring goals.
With seven goal contributions in his last five matches, Hojlund is forming a promising front three with Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. Their potential is undeniable and they are becoming a strong force for Manchester United in all competitions.
