Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United had a touching moment with a little fan after the Red Devils’ 2-0 FA Cup victory against Wigan Athletic on January 8.
The Danish international was unable to add to Diogo Dalot’s (22′) and Bruno Fernandes’ (74′) goals.
However, he came close, even hitting the crossbar with a close-range header in the first half of this third-round clash.
Manchester United players came over to thank the traveling fans after the game.
At this time, Hojlund saw a young admirer holding a Denmark-themed banner and begging for the 20-year-old’s shirt.
The former Atalanta striker brightened the fan’s day by approaching him and his father and handing out his matchday jersey.
Soon after, the child’s father stated on the club’s official website: “It certainly made my lad’s night.”
He went to bed a happy Red. I’m sure he’ll remember this game for the rest of his life.
On January 27, Manchester United will play one of League Two’s Newport County or National League’s Eastleigh in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Erik ten Hag’s squad will play Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on January 14th.
Hojlund will aim to add to his one goal in 15 Premier League outings this season.
Since joining Manchester United from Atalanta for a record €73.9 million last summer, he has scored six goals in all competitions.
Rasmus Hojlund’s spectacular mistake in Manchester United’s FA Cup victory leaves Danny Murphy dumbfounded
Rasmus Hojlund’s bad record continued as he failed to score from close range in Manchester United’s FA Cup victory over Wigan Athletic.
The attacker missed a golden opportunity to increase his team’s advantage in the first half.
After goalkeeper Sam Lloyd Tickle stopped Marcus Rashford’s shot, Hojlund missed an open goal from less than six yards away.
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy remarked live on talkSPORT: Hojlund attracted criticism from Manchester United veteran Roy Keane, who wasn’t thrilled with the striker’s performance, telling him to stop mucking around.
On Boxing Day, December 26, he scored his sole league goal of the season in the Red Devils’ 3-2 triumph over Aston Villa.
