Rasmus Hojlund admits he's happy with his decision to join Napoli.

The on-loan Manchester United striker is already off the mark for his new club.

Speaking with La Repubblica, Hojlund said: "Did AC Milan pursue me in the summer? All I know is that I'm happy where I am: here in Naples. I hope to score lots of goals and assists to help my teammates. We must always improve, but stay focused on one game at a time."

On coach Antonio Conte, he said: "He knows I need to improve my Italian, and he asks me constantly, worried about making himself understood. 'Is it clear? Is it clear?' are the words he uses most often with me. I always tell him yes, but if I have any doubts, I ask my teammates."

Hojlund added, "There's a special football culture here. I felt it right away when I came to Naples for the first time as an opponent, with Atalanta. The fans were crazy and very passionate, which makes them different from the others.

"The city is truly beautiful, the climate is wonderful. But above all, I found a family atmosphere, which is what I needed at this point in my career."
