Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen has been talking up Manchester United summer signing Rasmus Hojlund

Andersen plays alongside Rasmus Hojlund at international level and has been impressed with the way his fellow Dane has started at Old Trafford.

While there is some debate over whether Hojlund should be rested for the midweek Carabao Cup clash, he is certain to start in the Premier League at the weekend.

Hojlund, 20, has one goal for Manchester United to date, netting against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Andersen on Hojlund

Palace centre-back Andersen spoke to their club website about Rasmus Hojlund, and says he has been impressed with the Manchester United striker.

Andersen said: “He’s a young lad with a good character, a lot of energy and really good attributes.

“He’s quick, he’s strong and he has a lot of energy. It’s not easy to play against a player like him and I think his start has been really good. He scored last week so I’m really happy for him.”
