Casemiro believes that the 20-year-old striker Rasmus Hojlund has the potential to ‘define an era’ at Manchester United, expressing support for his teammate’s long-term success. The team has faced challenges in scoring goals this season, particularly in the Premier League, placing scrutiny on the newly signed Hojlund.

Hojlund, who joined the Old Trafford club in the summer, has scored only one goal in the league, but he has found the net five times in the Champions League. Casemiro encourages both supporters and critics to ease the pressure on the youngster, allowing him to adapt to his new team and league.

“In the end, he’s just a kid, so we shouldn’t be putting a lot of pressure on him,” remarked the Brazilian. “Many people think that he should be coming in and scoring 30-odd goals right away. He’s still young, and this is his first season in the Premier League.”

Casemiro showed clear admiration for Hojlund during his debut for Manchester United, where the young forward made a significant impact against Arsenal’s defense with his physicality. The Brazilian was observed offering encouragement to the emerging talent, visibly grabbing him in a supportive manner after the team won a corner.

He played a role in the setup for Alejandro Garnacho’s disallowed goal and was at the center of a controversial penalty decision when play continued despite the Dane being brought down by Gabriel. “Regarding the footage you mentioned, I was really pleased with his attitude,” Casemiro commented after reviewing clips from Hojlund’s debut. “The thing is, it’s extremely challenging when you come on in such a demanding game, as matches against Arsenal are. When he entered the game, he made significant contributions, altering our dynamic, so I tried to convey to him my positive sentiments,” added the midfielder, who has recently returned to the training field.

“He’s definitely improving with every game, putting in a lot of effort. Rasmus is a dedicated young man, and he’s eager to progress. He will undoubtedly be an excellent player for this club, and with the ambitions he possesses, he has the potential to define an era at Manchester United.”
