Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen believes that signing Rasmus Hojlund was a good decision.

United paid €75 million to bring in the 20-year-old from Atalanta in the summer.

Eriksen has praised the move for his countryman while speaking to Ekstra Bladet.

"I think Rasmus has been a wise purchase," said the former Inter Milan star as quoted by Tribal Football.

"He's a guy who fits into the squad, fits into the way of playing, understands the coach's ideas.

"He's a good guy who works hard. 

"We've been out to eat, he's been over at my house, and we see each other every day at the club.

"I have given him my advice, and he has chosen to live close to the stadium and the training facility, so he has listened there.

"He is very mature in his approach to things." 

Hojlund's deal at Manchester United is valid until the summer of 2028.
