Christian Eriksen hails 'strong No 9' Rasmus Hojlund after Man United completed £72m signing of his fellow Dane from Atalanta... as he reveals the pair chatted about Old Trafford life on international duty

Christian Eriksen says Manchester United are getting a powerful striker by signing his Denmark teammate Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund is set to complete his move to Old Trafford from Atalanta after the two clubs struck a deal worth £72million in total and the 20-year old agreed personal terms over a five-year contract.

Hojlund still has to complete a medical while United tie up the loose ends of the deal with Atalanta, but he could feasibly play for Erik ten Hag's side in Saturday's friendly against Lens at Old Trafford or Athletic Bilbao in Dublin 24 hours later.
