Champions League
Big day for the Hojlund family! Rasmus scored his first Champions League goal on his debut, younger brother Oscar scored in the first minute
Andres Højlund, a former footballer who had a not very successful football career, all of which was spent in Denmark, has given birth to three sons who already far surpass their father. Rasmus, the most famous, scored his first Champions League goal, while Oscar, the youngest, scored his first minute in the millionaire competition. We mustn’t forget Emil!
Andres Hojlund, a former footballer who had a not very successful football career, all of which was spent in Denmark, has given birth to three sons who already far surpass their father. Rasmus, the most famous, scored his first Champions League goal, while Oscar, the youngest, scored his first minute in the millionaire competition. We mustn’t forget Emil!
It’s true, the Manchester United striker has two younger brothers, Oscar and Emil (twins), who are both based in Copenhagen. However, the midfielder Oscar is better off so far, as he is getting much more minutes at the Danish club.
Emil is not getting as many opportunities, but since we are talking about an 18-year-old striker who is following in his older brother’s footsteps, the situation could turn around very quickly.
Both of them were pulled up to the A-team earlier this month by Copenhagen, where the current Red Devils striker has already played in 4 league games, in which he has also scored an assist. Forward Emil has been given the opportunity to play a single minute in the league so far by coach Jacob Neestrup.
It was Rasmus, who Manchester United brought in from Atalanta for 75 million euros in the summer, who has been struggling with injury and has so far started his third game. It must be added that he was also unlucky when one goal was disallowed due to offside, the other because the ball was already over the line.
However, Hojlund was visible in every game and represents a really big hope for Manchester United fans. His flair for goals and desire to score them regularly oozes from him, just like his Manchester rival Erling Haaland.
If he and his teammates play together, it could be a huge difference from last season when Erik ten Hag had virtually no striker of his type on hand, especially in terms of effectiveness.
If his two younger brothers do well, we could see a Danish national team game in a few years with all three Hojlund brothers.
