Hojlund was one of several players, including Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho, who were let go by United. Despite his struggles at the club, Eriksen believes Hojlund has thrived away from United. Eriksen credits Hojlund's strong mental toughness and hard work for his success.
Eriksen stated, "I'm incredibly happy for Rasmus. I know what he went through at United, good and bad, but he's always been strong mentally. He works incredibly hard and gives it his all, so it's great that he's now scoring goals."
Napoli manager Antonio Conte has also been impressed with Hojlund's performance, and Denmark manager Brian Riemer is thrilled with his resurgence. Riemer believes Hojlund's quick adaptation to Napoli and his success in winning two matches in a row make him a valuable asset to the national team.
Riemer said, "Having adapted so quickly and having won matches twice in a row leading up to this national team meeting is an adventure that could hardly have been written better for Rasmus. I am very happy to get a striker into top form. I couldn't wish for more as the Danish national coach."
Riemer acknowledges that Hojlund's success is not easy to achieve, especially considering he is playing alongside top players like Kevin De Bruyne. He also notes that Napoli's high expectations make it a challenging environment for players to succeed.
