Sheringham tells Man Utd to bring Hojlund back from Napoli

Teddy Sheringham has urged Manchester United to recall Rasmus Hojlund from his loan at Napoli, arguing the striker deserves another chance at Old Trafford.

The Denmark international joined the Serie A side in the summer, with a buy option that becomes obligatory if Napoli qualify for next season's Champions League. Hojlund has scored 10 goals in all competitions, including one in Wednesday's defeat to Chelsea.

Sheringham, a former United striker, said things can change quickly at football clubs, particularly when there are different people in charge. He suggested that Michael Carrick's relationship with Hojlund could be a factor, and that the club should bring him back and assess his mindset.

Gianfranco Zola recently said Hojlund is "driving everyone crazy", adding that United let go of a striker like that after Scott McTominay's departure, which he attributed to Erik ten Hag's decisions.

Napoli remain fourth in Serie A, a point above Juventus, after being eliminated from the Champions League this week. Hojlund will hope to continue his form when Napoli host Fiorentina this weekend.
