Hojlund joined Napoli on a season-long loan from Manchester United in September - with the deal including an obligation to buy for £38million next summer if certain clauses are met. The Denmark international, who joined United for £72m from Atalanta in 2023, was deemed surplus to requirements by his parent club after scoring just four Premier League goals last season. However, Hojlund continues to silence his critics at Napoli and won his first piece of silverware with the club on Monday after winning the Italian Super Cup following a 2-0 win over Bologna in the final. And celebrating that success on social media, Hojlund took a swipe at United in the process. Sharing a picture of himself with the trophy he accompanied it with the caption: 'What a great decision looks like'. Rasmus Hojlund shared the above picture on social media and took a jab at Manchester United Hojlund captioned the picture with: 'What a great decision looks like' The 22-year-old struggled at United last season, scoring just four goals in the Premier League Hojlund has scored seven goals in 19 matches for the Italian giants - and was on target in Thursday's Italian Cup 2-0 semi-final win against AC Milan. The 22-year-old's team-mate David Neres was the hero in the final though as he scored in each half of their win over Bologna. Neres' 39th-minute opener was a worthy cup winner, his superb left foot shot from 25 meters out curling into the far corner and giving an outstretched Federico Ravaglia no chance in the Bologna goal. His second showed a different side to his attacking talents, as, with nearly an hour gone, he took advantage of a slack pass from Ravaglia and dispossessed John Lucumi before dinking the ball over the prostrate keeper. It was the second time the former Ajax and Sao Paulo winger has bagged a brace for Napoli since joining the club from Benfica in August 2024. The win marked Napoli's third triumph in the competition, following successes in 1990 and 2014.
