The star forward missed the start of the ongoing season with a back injury but has since hit the ground running after his return to action.

According to The Mirror, the youngster has already scored three times for United in just eight appearances across competitions.

Hojlund debuts brilliant piece of skill

However, it seems that Hojlund has a lot more to offer than just goals.

A clip of the 20-year-old has surfaced online, showing him producing a beautiful piece of skill while in training with Denmark.

In the video, the former Atalanta star can be seen receiving the ball with his back to goal and Brentford ace Christian Norgaard tightly manning him.

Despite the presence of Norgaard, Hojlund is able to use his strength to keep the midfielder at bay as he goes on to score an audacious back-heel that left the goalkeeper with no chance.

A number of fans have since reacted to Hojlund's brilliance with the ball, with @BilalGotze7 posting:

"My Number 9."

@UnitedStreamztv noted:

"Rasmus Hojlund has such an INSANE ceiling, he’ll be one of the greats."

@ajayioluwayem17 added:

"That boy is full of goals ..we just need to get him good wing players to work with him."

@Anshum1958 concluded:

"Enjoy this outrageous finish by Rasmus Hojlund in the training."

Hojlund speaks on his exchange with Casemiro

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Hojlund finally disclosing what Casemiro told him during their intense exchange against Arsenal.

Hojlund made his debut for his new club last month against the Gunners.

However, he had a debut to forget as the Red Devils were demolished 3-1 by Mikel Arteta's charges.
