Speaking to Paddy Power, Louis Saha said: "Rasmus Hojlund was the right target for Manchester United over Evan Ferguson. Both players are tremendous with potential but whenever you make a decision, there needs to be no regrets.
"Ferguson scored a hat-trick [against Newcastle], and Hojlund played in his debut [against Arsenal], it doesn't make sense to make those comparisons because they have two different careers. Ferguson is doing well and it's great for Brighton.
"But for now it's about Man United and the players they have available. Hojlund came on and he did very well, his strength and power showed, and this will be good for Man United as other than him there are no real target men at the club.
"He can occupy the two defenders and maybe even free up space because of his speed and strength. It will be very interesting to see how he can adapt physically after a few games, but I'm sure that it is the right choice for Man United."
Over the summer, Man United were keeping tabs in both Hojlund and Ferguson as the two young strikers took their respective leagues by the storm.
However, Erik ten Hag opted to go for the Denmark international, seemingly deeming 18-year-old Ferguson too young to make the move to Old Trafford.
