Manchester United hero Dimitar Berbatov has urged Rasmus Hojlund to show his personality at his new club.

The Denmark forward has completed a big money move from Atalanta for 72 million.

While Hojlund is only 20 and coming off a single season in Serie A with Atalanta, his potential appeals to United boss Erik ten Hag.

"Hojlund is aggressive, tall, quick, strong, can score with his left or right foot and is positionally intelligent," Berbatov told Betfair.

"These are all good characteristics of a good striker who can become great. Hojlund has a lot of time ahead of him.

"The big thing is Erik ten Hag wanted him, he spotted Hojlund and now he'll be in charge of developing and adapting him to the team. The atmosphere and environment at United will teach him what the club stands for. With all his qualities, he can become a great striker at United.

"Hojlund can't be shy from making runs, asking and looking for the ball, when the opportunity is there, he needs to take it. The football in the Premier League is fast and the tackles are strong, but he's surrounded by players who can help him shine.

"He has some great teammates, like Mason Mount, Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen who can supply from behind. If the manager trusts you, go out there and prove your quality."
