Crystal Palace defender Andersen: Man Utd need Hojlund

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen has welcomed Rasmus Hojlund to the Premier League.

Hojlund became Denmark's richest transfer when joining Manchester United, so overtaking Andersen.

"It's so annoying!" said Andersen, before he burst into laughter.

"No, it's great that Rasmus has been given this change. It is deserved and he has done well. United needed a striker, so it makes good sense that they bought a young and good one."

The defender then described what it will be like to play against Højlund in the Premier League.

"It will be good, I think. I'm sure I'll have to get a handle on him," smiled Andersen.
