More significantly, the Danish striker has found his scoring touch at Old Trafford. He has truly settled in. He now appears destined to be Manchester United’s great striker in the future.

He will emulate the great goal scorers who are loved by their supporters, like Wayne Rooney, Eric Cantona, and Robin van Persie.

However, none of these had the most impact on the increasing Manchester United supporter.

Rasmus Hojlund picks Manchester United idol

In an interview with The United Stand, United’s leading man talked all things United with Mark Goldbridge.

This included what would be his ultimate Manchester United five-a-side team and also the player who was his idol growing up. He said:

“It has to be Cristiano [Ronaldo],” he begins. “[Wayne] Rooney and [Carlos] Tevez as well, but Cristiano was probably the guy. I remember supporting him and following him at United, then watching him at the period in Juventus, then back again as well. He’s always been my idol.”

It had to be for Rasmus. We’re seeing a recurring theme at Manchester United at the moment.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence is unmatched…

Manchester United have a squad full of players who absolutely adore Cristiano Ronaldo.

Alejandro Garnacho, as everyone knows, is heavily influenced by him, as is Kobbie Mainoo and pre-existing United players also had the pleasure of playing with him. He truly is a club legend and a footballing icon.

If Hojlund can ever replicate even a smidge of the legacy that Ronaldo has around Old Trafford, then United fans have a reason to be excited.

For his first season, he’s started off brilliantly – but the best thing is? He’s only going to get better and better.
