Rasmus Hojlund has become Manchester United’s newest signing however his name will require some practice. So how do you say his name?
Manchester United’s newest signing is now official with Rasmus Hojlund joining from Serie A’s Atalanta.
He is Erik ten Hag’s third summer signing following Mason Mount and Andre Onana’s move to Old Trafford.
He looks to be a real star in the making and is widely believed to be a diamond in the rough.
Possessing every physical quality needed to be a brilliant Premier League forward, Hojlund is destined to be a hit.
Hojlund will strike fear into defenders and goalkeepers alike with his rampant speed and ever improving finishing.
How to say Rasmus Hojlund
A video has circulated on social media which seems to suggest how the Dane wants his name pronounced.
Clearly from this clip the pronunciation can be heard as he tells fans.
The Rasmus part is quite simple and is pronounced as ‘Rasmus’ but the Hojlund part is more complicated.
‘Hoi-luund’ is how the Danish forward wants his name to be pronounced going forward with the ending requiring a deep ‘und’ sound.
However if you still struggle it may be easier to revert to calling him Rasmus.
Where does Hojlund rank in United’s most expensive signings?
The £64million deal up-front deal for Hojlund puts him sixth in United’s all time record deal list.
