Striker Rasmus Hojlund completing his permanent transfer from Manchester United to Napoli is a "formality", says their sporting director Giovanni Manna. Earlier this month, Hojlund posted a picture after winning the Italian Super Cup with the caption: "What a great decision looks like." When asked if Hojlund's permanent Napoli transfer was just a "formality," Manna replied: "As of today, I think so." In an interview with Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, he said: "We did everything we could to sign him. "There were more storied clubs interested, but his will was crucial, and we are proud of it."
