Rasmus H\u00f8jlund is hopeful of drawing a line under his time with Manchester United as he eyes a permanent move<\/a> to Napoli.<\/p>\n

The Dane initially put up a fight for his future at Old Trafford this summer, publicly confirming his desire to stay and rebuffing all offers to take him away on a season-long loan. But the arrival of Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko and the fact manager Ruben Amorim continued to leave him out of matchday squads forced a rethink.<\/p>\n

H\u00f8jlund eventually accepted a loan offer from Napoli, whose bid includes a conditional obligation to make the move permanent based on the team\u2019s final Serie A standing.<\/p>\n

While there is not yet any certainty about his future, H\u00f8jlund confirmed to La Repubblica<\/a> that he is hopeful of spending several years in Naples after spending the early years of his career spread across several countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also played in Austria before, after leaving Denmark as a child,\u201d he reflected. \u201cAt 22, I already have a lot of experience under my belt. But now I\u2019m in Naples and I plan to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n

H\u00f8jlund spent two years in the United<\/a> first team but struggled to replicate the form which convinced the Red Devils to part with \u00a372 million ($96.2 million) to secure his signature. A return of 26 goals in 95 games is respectable but fell well short of expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe football here is very tactical, with lots of man-on-man duels,\u201d H\u00f8jlund said of life in Serie A. \u201cIn the Premier League<\/a>, however, the pace is a bit higher: everyone is fast, strong, and physically explosive. If I had to point out one difference between the two leagues, it\u2019s precisely that.\u201d<\/p>\n

H\u00f8jlund scored on his Napoli debut, playing his role in a perfect start for Antonio Conte\u2019s side as they look to defend their league title.<\/p>\n
