Rasmus Hojlund has fired a shot at Manchester United in his latest social media post.<\/p>\n

The Danish striker, now playing for Napoli, left Old Trafford in the summer, joining Antonio Conte\u2019s side on an initial loan that could become permanent next year.<\/p>\n

Napoli defeated Bologna 2-0 to win the Supercoppa Italiana on Sunday night, with David Neres netting both goals at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Two former United players started for the Gli Azzurri \u2013 Hojlund and his old team-mate Scott McTominay \u2013 who has also become a hit in Italian football since his move in the summer of 2024.<\/p>\n

Both players played the full 90 minutes, and Hojlund took to Instagram to take aim at his parent club.<\/p>\n

Posting a picture of himself with the Italian Super Cup, the Dane captioned the image: \u201cWhat a great decision looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hojlund has played 19 games in all competitions for Napoli this term, scoring seven goals and laying on three assists.<\/p>\n

At United, he played 95 times, notching 26.<\/p>\n

He was sent out on loan in the summer having struggled under Ruben Amorim, who replaced him with Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n

Sesko has since suffered the same fate as Hojlund at Old Trafford, starved of quality service and enduring a goal drought in the early stages of his career in Manchester.<\/p>\n

The Slovenian, signed for \u00a373.7m, has played 14 games for his new side and scored just twice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rasmus Hojlund of SSC Napoli reacts during the Supercoppa Italiana final against Bologna FC 1909 at King Saud…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":206664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,917,112],"class_list":["post-206663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-manchester-united","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
