Erik ten Hag has admitted that Manchester United signed Rasmus Hojlund last summer because they were unable to bring in Harry Kane.
Hojlund joined United for £72million from Atalanta for £72million, with Kane signing for Bayern Munich from Tottenham for £100million.
So far in his first season at United Hojlund has scored eight goals in 26 Premier League appearances, while Kane has found the net 35 times in 31 Bundesliga games for Bayern.
Ten Hag has admitted that it is unfair to compare the two players and has backed 21-year-old Hojlund to continue to make progress.
