The Danish striker aims to establish himself as a beloved figure at Old Trafford following his impressive performance since his £72 million ($m) transfer from Atalanta in the summer of 2023. Hojlund has scored in each of his last four Premier League matches, making him the youngest player in Red Devils history to achieve such a feat, surpassing even Ronaldo.

Admiring legendary goal-scorers from the past, Hojlund revealed his childhood hero to be Cristiano Ronaldo, alongside Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez. Reflecting on his admiration for Ronaldo, Hojlund reminisced about following Ronaldo’s career from his time at Manchester United through his spells at Real Madrid and Juventus. Ronaldo remains his idol to this day.

Notably, Ronaldo features in Hojlund’s dream five-a-side team, alongside other exceptional players. Hojlund explained his selections, emphasizing Peter Schmeichel’s presence in goal due to his Danish roots and remarkable achievements. He also expressed admiration for Rio Ferdinand and considered including Nemanja Vidic but opted for a balanced midfield with Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes alongside Ronaldo in the lineup.

With 10 goals across all competitions, Hojlund aims to contribute to United’s success in the 2023-24 season. Despite being eight points behind the Premier League’s top four, United remains in contention for major silverware, including the FA Cup, providing opportunities for Hojlund to make further contributions on the field.
