He gave me biggest problems – Rasmus Hojlund names ex-Man Utd star as his toughest opponent

Atalanta forward, Rasmus Hojlund has named former Manchester United defender Chris Smalling as his toughest opponent.

Hojlund said that Smalling, who currently plays for AS Roma, gave him the biggest problems, adding that he is very intelligent.

The 20-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Man United this summer.

Speaking with Tuttosport (via Manchester Evening News), Hojlund said: “Chris Smalling from Roma gave me the biggest problems.

“He is an intelligent, agile, fast, physically strong defender. I tried to win duels with him by using my physical strength, but it was not the winning move.

“I still have to find the right key to overcome it.”
