Speaking to Danish broadcasterTV2, Hojlund expressed his immense gratitude toward Napoli for providing the platform to rebuild his confidence after a testing period in the Premier League. The striker has become a central figure in Antonio Conte's side, recapturing the form that originally made him one of Europe's most coveted young prospects.
The Danish striker joined United from Atalanta in a deal worth a reported £72 million in August 2023. However, he struggled to provide a consistent attacking threat at Old Trafford, scoring just 26 goals in 95 appearances across all competitions in his first two seasons before being sent back to Serie A on an initial loan deal.
“Here I have rediscovered the joy of playing football. It seemed that everything was over, they said it even in Denmark, but I never gave up and I always believed in it. You can't always be at your best, I know well that I still have to work and improve a lot. I am very self-critical about this. Now in Denmark they say that I am back at the centre of the project, because I am working and scoring much more,” Hojlund revealed.
