Holund told Danish Broadcaster TV2 after the game (quotes via Espn):

“It is for the self. It was not ridicule or anything. It had a great impact on my life in football. This may have been somewhat contradictory, but to register against him and Portugal, he is huge.

“I remember that he scored a free kick in 2011 when I went to watch the match, and since then I was a huge Cristiano lover.”

Although this moment on the international stage was one special, Hojlund at Manchester UNITED was a group of rotation this season.

The 22 -year -old arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2023 from Atalanta in a high -level transportation of 64 million pounds, with the expectation that the primary threat to study the goals will become.

To date in the ongoing campaign, Hojlund scored eight goals and assistants in 39 games in all competitions.

With Push UNITED for the success of the European League, fans hope that his last championships will be a turning point, allowing him to find the best forms and inspiration of the Red Devils – just as his idol Ronaldo did in his career in Old Trafford.
