Rasmus Hojlund has been in electric form as of late, scoring arguably his best-ever goal in a Red Devils shirt against West Ham United.
The Danish striker now has double figures this season in all competitions. After what was a seriously shaky start, Hojlund now certainly knows where the back of the net is.
It’s great to see, not only because he’s Manchester United‘s star striker – but also because he is a Red Devils fan.
He has many fond memories of growing up watching Manchester United legends, which is why his five-a-side team made up of past players is extremely interesting.
Rasmus Hojlund picks his ultimate all-time Manchester United five-a-side team
In an exclusive interview with The United Stand, United’s leading man went through with Mark Goldbridge what would be his ultimate Manchester United five-a-side team.
The only rule was, that current players weren’t allowed – so Hojlund couldn’t pick any of his first-team squad mates. He went for:
- GK: Peter Schmeichel
- DEFENDER: Rio Ferdinand
- MIDFIELDER: Ryan Giggs
- MIDFIELDER: Paul Scholes
- FORWARD: Cristiano Ronaldo
Of course, Peter Schmeichel had to be in net. “Peter is Peter,” says Rasmus. “He’s a legend here but also in Denmark.”
“Rio is very memorable for me,” he adds opting for Ferdinand over Nemanja Vidic. He then flourishes through the attacking options, with Scholes, Giggs and Ronaldo his picks.
An excellent team from Hojlund, but a few missed out.
Rasmus Hojlund misses out Wayne Rooney and Roy Keane
Of course, there are more than five legendary Red Devils – but two shocking omissions have to be Wayne Rooney and Roy Keane.
Rooney is the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, and some would argue Keane is the best captain to ever play for United.
Nevertheless, a solid side from Hojlund. Our striker has good taste.
