RASMUS HOJLUND is the latest footballer to say his childhood dream was to play for Manchester United.
But the Red Devils’ new £72million striker has the evidence to prove it!

The note Rasmus Hojlund wrote
Hojlund, 20, unveiled a note he wrote aged ten for a school project, detailing his two ambitions in football.
Just a decade later, both have come true – a real triumph for the ‘winner child’ who compels the dedicated Dane to keep developing.
Hojlund showed TV2 Sport a message he penned ten years ago: “My goal is to play for the Danish national team and for Manchester United.”
Dream part one became reality last September with the first of his six senior caps.
And the second part was achieved last week when United fended off PSG’s last-minute interest to complete his signing from Atalanta.
Hojlund told his home-country’s TV station: “It’s about dreaming big and daring to dream big. Otherwise you will not reach your goals.
“It’s rare you get everything in one package, but I’d say everything has just come together with me and Manchester United. It’s a perfect match.
“Right now the club is going through a process, and I would very much like to be a part of it.

“This is also why I have chosen to come here now, because I feel I can grow with the club, and hopefully we can win a lot of trophies together.”
The Copenhagen-born hitman also shared a picture of the schoolboy him with younger brothers Emil and Oscar in United tops.
Rasmus wore a black shirt while his siblings were in red.
He said his devotion to United began when he was “very small”.
Hojlund added: “I think that Rasmus at ten would probably be “buzzing”, as they say over here in England.
“(He) set himself a goal, so that’s what I’ve gone after.”
Hojlund will, however, miss United’s first two matches with a pre-season injury picked up with Atalanta.
And he could be out longer amid claims he has a back problem that needs rest for full recovery.
