Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund and emerging Red Devils talent Sekou Kone both made their respective marks during a pre-season training session under Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> and Co are on the verge of making their return to action for the first time together since the Red Devils completed their two-match post-season tour of Asia.<\/p>\n

Rasmus Hojlund<\/a> struggled to impress in his second full season at Old Trafford and the 22-year-old Manchester United striker has been linked with a move away.<\/p>\n

However, the Inter Milan and AC Milan-linked forward has suggested that he will remain at the Premier League club and fight for his place to lead the frontline.<\/p>\n

Hojlund, who is under contract with United until 2028<\/a>, netted only 10 times in 52 matches across all competitions in the 2024-25 campaign for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Sekou Kone<\/a>, on the other hand, has impressed in the United youth academy<\/a> and the 19-year-old midfielder is now securing important first-team training experience.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Adam Marshall shared details on Manchester United\u2019s official website<\/a> over what he saw from a shooting session during the second week of pre-season training.<\/p>\n

Kone showed his fine finishing with \u201cone exquisite strike with the outside of his foot,\u201d while Hojlund was \u201call smiles\u201d after what he did during the shooting exercise.<\/p>\n

According to Adam Marshall, Hojlund was able to pull off \u201ctwo sweet finishes in quick succession\u201d and the United striker evoked \u201cadmiring comments from his colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rasmus Hojlund and Sekou Kone now have a chance to send Ruben Amorim a clear-cut message in Man Utd\u2019s pre-season tour<\/p>\n

The sky is the limit for Sekou Kone and the Malian-born defensive midfielder can now have a lasting impression on Amorim during the pre-season tour this summer.<\/p>\n

Amorim will rotate his first-team squad over the course of the matches in Europe and the United States and Kone is likely to secure some crucial first-team minutes.<\/p>\n

It is all down to Kone to seize the moment and for the United youth academy product to prove why he is ready for an elevation to the Red Devils\u2019 first-team squad.<\/p>\n

Hojlund, meanwhile, can show both United fans<\/a> and Amorim why he shouldn\u2019t be written off and why he still has a long-term future at Old Trafford as a striker.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund and emerging Red Devils talent Sekou Kone both made their respective marks during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,6601,6602,561,82],"class_list":["post-5706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-rasmus-hojlund","tag-sekou-kone","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
