Rasmus Hojlund's recent Instagram post, celebrating his Italian Super Cup victory with Napoli, has sparked anger among many Man Utd supporters. On 22/12/2023, Hojlund helped Napoli defeat Bologna 2-0 to secure the trophy. Following the win, the Danish striker shared a photo of himself embracing the Cup, accompanied by the caption, "A great decision". This message was widely interpreted as a reference to his move from Man Utd to Napoli in September.

While some expressed support for Hojlund's post, a significant number of Man Utd fans reacted negatively. One self-proclaimed Man Utd supporter wrote, "Do not speak ill of Man Utd, because some of us supported you even when you failed to score in clear-cut chances. Congratulations anyway". Another fan questioned Hojlund's statement, asking, "Decision? You were forced to leave because you were not good enough".

Hojlund has been a major disappointment for Man Utd in recent years. He joined the club in 2023 for 86 million USD, but only scored 26 goals in 95 matches. After moving to Napoli on loan, the 22-year-old striker has flourished, netting 7 goals in 19 matches, placing him among the top scorers in Serie A, and securing the Italian Super Cup. If Hojlund maintains his strong performance, Napoli will likely activate his 50 million USD buy-out clause.

Meanwhile, Hojlund's replacement at Man Utd, Benjamin Sesko, has struggled. The 99 million USD striker has only scored two goals in 14 matches, has not started regularly, and has been out with an injury for over a month. Hojlund is the third former Man Utd player to shine at Napoli. Last season, Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay both contributed to Napoli's Serie A championship at the Armando Diego Maradona Stadium. McTominay even earned the Serie A Player of the Season award in his debut season.
