Berbatov urges United player to learn from van Nistelrooy

Dimitar Berbatov has emphasized the importance of improvement for Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund, particularly under the mentorship of new assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. The former United striker, who enjoyed a prolific career at the club, believes that Hojlund can significantly enhance his game by leveraging van Nistelrooy's extensive experience, having scored 150 goals for United between 2001 and 2006. In a recent interview with Futbin.com, Berbatov encouraged Hojlund to actively seek guidance from van Nistelrooy, suggesting that he should ask questions and learn from one of the best goal scorers in the club's history. He stressed the importance of being respectful and open to learning, stating, "If you don’t take this opportunity to learn... you’re wasting your time." Berbatov pointed out that Hojlund's goal-scoring ratio needs improvement, highlighting the need for better concentration during matches. He noted that the young forward has had several good scoring opportunities that he failed to convert, indicating that maintaining focus throughout games is crucial for his development. At just 21 years old, Hojlund has ample time to refine his skills. However, he is currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury, which kept him from participating in United's opening Premier League match against Fulham. Berbatov's insights suggest that Hojlund's recovery and subsequent training will be pivotal for his growth as a player.
