Former England captain Alan Shearer believes Rasmus Hojlund will benefit from Ruud van Nistelrooy’s arrival at Manchester United.

In an interview with Betfair, Shearer stated that Nistelrooy’s experience will improve Hojlund’s goal scoring ability in the Premier League next season.

“That can only enhance and help Hojlund because Ruud van Nistelrooy has been there, he’s worn the shirt at Old Trafford

“Hojlund working with him on the training ground is only going to improve him.

“In really difficult circumstances for Hojlund last season, I think there’s definitely something to work with there.

“It was around 16 goals he got in the end which is a decent return for how tough it had been for him and a lot of his teammates for most of the season.”
