The Danish international striker joined Napoli in a season-long loan deal with an option to buy.
Hojlund made 95 appearances for the Reds since signing from Atalanta in August 2023, scoring 26 goals.
He lifted the Emirates FA Cup at the end of the 2023/24 season, after coming on as a substitute in the final against Manchester City.
However, the Danish striker struggled to find form throughout his stint with the Red Devils, and his real struggles began under the leadership of Ruben Amorim, as he managed just six goals in 33 games under the Portuguese coach.
And when Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbuemo, and Benjamin Sesko arrived over the summer, Hojlund could see the writing on the wall.
"My prospects for playing time diminished as they brought in reinforcements for my position. With my age and ambitions, I had to find a place where they believe in me, give me a lot of love, and offer a good sporting package. I feel 100 percent that I have found it with Napoli. It's something I'm really, really looking forward to", says Hojlund to TV2 Sport.
However, despite his troubles at Manchester, Hojlund takes heart from the experience he has earned in one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"It has been a really, really good time. I have been happy to play there, and it is a club close to my heart", says Rasmus Hojlund.
The national team striker describes the time in Manchester as "chaotic" with both ups and downs. But although not everything went as he had hoped for, he still has good experiences to look back on.
He became the club's leading goalscorer in his first season, and in February 2024, he was, as the first Dane, named Player of the Month in the Premier League after scoring in six consecutive matches.
"I have gained a lot of experience and toughness. It has given me some good experiences and less good experiences. It has been a good time I have had in England. Especially my first year when I became the leading goalscorer and won a trophy. It was really, really special", says Hojlund.
Hojlund will battle for a place in the starting line-up as Denmark kick off their World Cup qualifying campaign with clashes at home against Scotland tomorrow and away against Greece on Monday.
