Rasmus Hojlund is relishing his impressive form for Napoli and the Denmark national team following the striker’s departure from Manchester United.
With six goals in his last five games for club and country, the Dane says his excellent run proves that “goals are like ketchup” as he celebrated his effort in a vital World Cup qualifying win against Greece.
After a dismal 2024-25 campaign at United, where he scored 10 goals in 52 matches across all competitions and just managed four goals in the Premier League, Hojlund joined Napoli on loan this summer.
Under Antonio Conte’s mentorship, he has regained his previous form.
In just six games in the new season, the Danish international has found the back of the net four times across the Serie A and the Champions League.
Moreover, he has been regularly on the scoresheet for Denmark in the World Cup qualifiers.
After scoring two goals against Belarus last week, he struck yet again in Denmark’s 3-1 win over Greece on Sunday.

After the victory over Greece, Hojlund took to social media to express his feelings.
He said: “A wise man once said: Goals are like ketchup. Once they come, they keep on coming.”
Napoli reportedly have a €50 million (£43m/$58m) option to buy Hojlund at the end of the season and the ex-Atalanta star has suggested that he wants to stay in Italy beyond his loan spell.
He has also earned praise from head coach Conte, who says he is proving his potential to be “a star”.
