Manchester United players were always aware of Rasmus Hojlund's scoring talent.

That is the view of former captain Harry Maguire, who suggested that he and his teammates were never doubting Hojlund.

The striker went 14 Premier League games without finding the back of the net, but has done so five times in the past five matches.

We've seen the talent he has and now it is really clicking for him in front of goal," Maguire told Sky Sports.

We always knew that was going to come because he's an exceptional talent.

He's going to be a big player for this club. I'm sure he'll keep scoring goals and there are many more to come.

As senior players you see a young player coming through - and he holds himself so well and so mature people don't realize his age - but he's come in with a big weight on his shoulders to be the main striker for Man United.

He's had to play every game because of injuries but you see in training the work he puts in, the talent he has, the physical capability to play in this league, we knew he'd be successful for this club."
