Man United Star Channels Childhood Idol…
Manchester United’s very own Rasmus Hojlund pulled a page from the Cristiano Ronaldo playbook after he netted the winner for Denmark against Portugal. Hojlund’s late heroics handed Portugal a bitter 1-0 defeat on Thursday, making Parken Stadium the scene of frustrated Portuguese dreams. Thankfully for Christian Eriksen, who saw his first-half penalty saved, Hojlund’s stunning 78th-minute goal made it all his day!
Now the Portuguese will have to huff and puff their way back in the second leg on Sunday, as they attempt to repair the damage before their stylistic summer plans for June’s Nations League semi-finals. Our man of the hour, Hojlund, brought laughs, giggles, and a touch of nostalgia when he opted for Ronaldo’s iconic ‘siu’ celebration after his heroic goal. “The 7-year-old me just popped out!” he chuckled on Instagram, making sure everyone knew this was nothing but childhood fanboy nostalgia.
Our striking sensation assured fans that his celebration was a tribute to his idol, not a cheeky jab. “Scoring against my idol, come on, it doesn’t get better!” he beamed, still pinching himself from the heroic moment.
