Rasmus Hojlund: Every day is a dream at Manchester United

Rasmus Hojlund was walking through the mixed zone, where players and journalists speak, following Manchester United’s 1-0 Champions League victory over FC Copenhagen.

There, the United striker, 20, spotted his younger brother Oscar, a player for the Danish side, speaking to Danish journalists. Rasmus snuck up behind him and knocked the microphone in front of him. The brothers then spoke in Danish and English.

“It is a great feeling being on the same pitch as my brother and not only in a normal stadium,” Rasmus said. "In Denmark it is [considered] one of the most special stadiums in the world, so it is a special feeling.”

It was a memorable day all round for Rasmus, as he talked positively about how he was finding life at Manchester United following his summer transfer from Atalanta.

“Yeah, very nice. I play for my boyhood club. I have always supported Manchester United, so I am living my dream every day," he said.

Though he is yet to score a Premier League goal, United fans have warmed to the young, determined striker.

“I try to show personality and want to give 110 per cent every time I play a football match, so maybe that is the reason why the fans are showing a special bond towards me,” he said.

Asked about his start at United, he replied: “It has been all right. I’ve tried my best every time I play, and I still need to find the rhythm. We have been struggling a little bit, but we are getting there now. We have had three wins in a row, so that is very positive.”

The eldest of the three Hojlund brothers, however, is still adjusting to the Premier League.

“For sure,” he said. “I improve every day and my team-mates are starting to see my patterns in the game as well, so it is getting better and better every day.”
