Capello: Hojlund wants Man Utd revenge; Napoli did well to invest in him

  /  autty

Former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello says Napoli deserve congratulations for bringing in Rasmus Hojlund.

The Denmark striker is on-loan at Napoli from Manchester United and has already hit his goalscoring straps.

Capello told La Gazzetta dello Sport:  "Napoli decided to spend money in the summer, and the results are showing. The investment in an additional centre forward like Hojlund was significant, and when (Romelu) Lukaku returns, the Azzurri will have  three, including (Lorenzo) Lucca, so they'll be well-equipped for the entire season.

"It's true that (Antonio) Conte's team hasn't scored a ton of goals so far, but they're still in really good shape, and Hojlund is a crucial addition because he already knows Italy and has no problems settling in.

Playing in Naples puts you under more pressure than at Atalanta, but the Dane has seemed to have matured thanks to the Premier League, which has shown him his true worth.

"And I've also noticed a certain desire for revenge in him after his time at Manchester United."
