Copenhagen defender Diks: Who would've thought Hojlund would join Man Utd when he was here?

FC Copenhagen defender Kevin Diks is delighted for Rasmus Hojlund over his move to Manchester United.

The former FCK striker is leaving Atalanta for United in a deal rising to €85m.

Diks said: "I am happy for him. When he was younger it was a bit difficult for him, but now you can see how things can change in football.

"If you believe in yourself and the coaches and teams you play for believe in you, anything can happen.

"Look at him now. He will soon be a Manchester United player - how crazy is that? Who would have thought that when he was here a few years ago?

"All I can say is that I am proud of him and that he can certainly be proud of himself."
