His six minor league goals come in six games.Before leaving in January 2022, Copenhagen academy graduate Hojlund scored five goals in 32 matches for the Danish giants.The Denmark international joined United 18 months after leaving Copenhagen and earned £100m in transfer fees.The Hojlund brothers are better than the Red Devils star, according to Christian Mouroux, his former HUI sporting director.

He told ManchesterEveningNews: “Many who have met all three think the younger brothers are as talented as Rasmus.”The two younger brothers were ahead of Rasmus at the same age, but all of them were advanced over average.I think the two little boys have more talent.My favorite is Oscar.

Emil is more graceful, proficient in dribbling and passing, whereas Oscar is more аggressive, tackling, and courageous.Probably because he was smaller than his brothers and opponents. He must compensate, therefore he is fearless, good on the ball, and has a winning mentality—you can tell he wants to win every game.”
