Joachim Andersen, a Crystal Palace defender, has warned Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund ahead of their Carabao Cup match on Tuesday.

Andersen said he is confident that he can handle his fellow Danish international, despite Hojlund’s impressive start to his career in England.

“It is going to be fun to play against him,” Andersen said in an interview with the club’s website. “He is a young lad with a good character, a lot of energy and really good attributes. He is quick, he’s strong and he has a lot of energy.

“It’s not easy to play against a player like him and I think his start [in England] has been really good. He scored last week so I am really happy for him.

“Hopefully he will score a lot of goals for our national team… but I think I can handle him in the games we are going to play against each other.”

High-ranking officials at Manchester United are expressing apprehension over the possibility of Thomas Tuchel encountering conflicts with the club’s leadership if he is appointed to replace Erik ten Hag.

Tuchel is set to depart from Bayern Munich at the conclusion of this season, a decision that was announced as early as February. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner, along with his INEOS associates, are reportedly deliberating on Ten Hag’s future and considering potential replacements.

Among the candidates being discussed, Tuchel, who has previously managed Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as a prominent name.

However, as per reports from The Times, there are reservations regarding Tuchel’s track record of disagreements with higher-ups at his previous clubs. His tenure at Mainz ended in 2014 amid disputes with directors over transfer finances, while he was dismissed from Borussia Dortmund three years later due to a breakdown in trust between himself and the club’s board.
