Rasmus Hojlund appeared to aim a dig at Manchester United after scoring in Napoli's 2-0 Supercoppa Italiana victory over Bologna on Monday evening. The Danish forward played the full 90 minutes as David Neres scored twice in Saudi Arabia to secure Napoli's first Supercoppa since 2014.
Hojlund joined Napoli on a season-long loan in the summer, with the deal set to become permanent if certain criteria, including Champions League qualification, are met. The 22-year-old struggled at Old Trafford last season, managing just four goals before falling down the pecking order under Ruben Amorim following the arrivals of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko.
Since moving to Italy, Hojlund has rediscovered his form, netting seven times in 19 appearances. After Monday's triumph, he took to Instagram with a photograph of himself holding the trophy, captioned: 'What a great decision looks like.' The post received likes from former United teammates Lisandro Martinez, Chido Obi, Patrick Dorgu and Andre Onana, with Dorgu and Obi adding congratulatory comments.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte also appeared to take a swipe at United, saying: 'Hojlund and McTominay were not playing at Manchester United, so there must be a reason given the work done by me and my staff. I believe our job is to expand a player's knowledge and make him stronger.' Conte added that the club lacked clinical finishing but praised the overall performance.
