Rasmus Hojlund’s Rising Star: Jamie Carragher Praises Manchester United’s Striker on Monday Night Football
Jamie Carragher has singled out Manchester United’s Rasmus Højlund for praise after the striker’s strong recent performances, particularly in the 2-1 win against Brentford.
On Monday Night Football, Carragher highlighted how the 21-year-old, despite missing the first month of the season due to a hamstring injury, is beginning to make his mark for United. Højlund has now scored twice in three starts, showing a growing influence in the team.
Carragher noted Højlund’s strong display, saying, “I think he’s starting to look a player,” after seeing his impact against Brentford and during a previous performance in the Champions League against Porto.
Carragher was particularly impressed with Højlund’s movement and awareness, specifically pointing out a “little look” the striker gave before scoring, showing his intelligence and growing confidence.
Carragher also emphasized that the combination of Højlund, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho in attack could be key for United moving forward, as they provide a potent attacking threat that could keep the team competitive in the coming weeks.
