15 goals and assisted three<\/a> in just 22 appearances for FC Copenhagen\u2019s U19 side.<\/p>\nSubsequently, the talented youngster earnt a promotion to the first team at just 17 years of age, making 32 appearances for the Danish side.<\/p>\n
In these games, Hojlund scored five with three coming in the qualification for the UEFA Conference League and the other two actually in the Conference League. However, in 19 league appearances, Hojlund failed to score. In these league appearances, Hojlund only played 459 minutes altogether, which is an average of just over 24 minutes per appearance. Thus, it would be naive to judge Hojlund at this point by his lack of league goals.<\/p>\n
In January 2022, German side Sturm Graz signed the talented forward for just 1.95m euros.<\/p>\n
Hojlund made 13 appearances in the second half of that season, scoring six goals and assisting one.<\/p>\n
However, just eight appearances into his second season in Germany, having already scored six goals in the new season, Atalanta BC snapped Hojlund up for 20 million euros.<\/p>\n
Thus, in the 2022\/23 campaign just gone, Hojlund made 34 appearances for Atalanta, with 32 of those in Italy\u2019s first division the Serie A.<\/p>\n
Hojlund scored 10 goals and assisted four in the 34 games he played.<\/p>\n
However, similarly to his time in Denmark, Hojlund wasn\u2019t playing full games.<\/p>\n
The young forward secured 1897 minutes in his 34 appearances in Italy, which averages to just over 55 minutes per game.<\/p>\n
In September 2022, Hojlund made first team debut as a Denmark international. He wasn\u2019t selected for the World Cup, but for the European qualifiers, the youngster has scored six goals in four games, including a hattrick against Finland.<\/p>\n
Thus, with the abundance of growth potential and the possibility of making extra minutes next season for United, Ten Hag will be hopeful of a greater goal return.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, these performances were enough to earn Hojlund his dream move to his boyhood club.<\/p>\n
