It was a real privilege to chat with our new centre-forward. There we were, two fans of the club, honoured to be doing what we love. And that was an undoubted truth. I think, as supporters, we can tell when someone is authentic in their passion for United, and I felt Rasmus was.
With only a couple of years between us in age, we chatted about our childhood memories watching the Reds, primarily of the 2008 Champions League win and Cristiano Ronaldo, Hojlund’s idol. Wayne Rooney was my childhood hero, I told him. “Ah, but you’re English!” he replied.
