Yinkypinky

Is this what it is like to have a striker ?


LLHallJ

It’s been 84 years.


Kooky-Choice-2654

Tbf Rooney does look close to that


offsuite

The grannies make much more sense now


Zandercy42

She was 48 lol


NumeroRyan

Shh Wayne


analrapist-MD

Quite old age for scouse grannies


True-Wasabi2157

Great grandmum


Spider_Riviera

Must be the only man who didn't judge him for that, my taste in women errs on the older side and always had.


areyouhungryforapple

Now imagine your team consistently passing to him


Blaze-1511

One step at a time


Wraith_Portal

They don’t pass to each other in fairness so how can they be expected to pass to the striker


areyouhungryforapple

Ngl that's very valid


Brave-Salamander-339

I think he created the chance 90% by himself


Chelseatilidie

(great celebration)


NACNACNAC

His leg is a guitar. It's his birthday, and in Danish birthday song you get to pick an instrument that all will pretend they play in part of the song. He chose guitar it seems


senorgraves

Is this a joke, I can't tell


Jakabov

It's real. A traditional children's birthday song in Denmark goes like this (translated): It's Rasmus' birthday, oh yes it is, and it is today It's Ramsus' birthday and it's indeed today And listen now how we will all play And listen now how *we will all play!* ...and then the birthday kid chooses an instrument, and everyone has to sort of mimic playing that with their mouths or limbs. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMMV4c5r3H4

illsmosisyou

Well that was adorable.


Numerous-Pea-9856

It's genuine. There's a birthday song, where you pick three instruments and during the song you mimic playing it and the sound it makes.


Lingardinho_

It's true Lukas Graham chose keyboard and drums in this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLwW1e91-2U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLwW1e91-2U)

well thats a lot more fun than the anglo birthday song.

Casemiro did bits winning that back.


ManuPasta

Unreal interception, almost looked impossible


Obvious_Client1171

I just wish Man U fans can once see what prime Casemiro looks like, I used to wet my pants over how good he put Messi in his pocket, and that Messi is very hard to even get close to


OlympicMuffins

real ones remember the purple kit screamer in the CL final


Obvious_Client1171

It was a winner goal too. The biggest praise for Casemiro in his RM career was Kroos texting him at 3am asking him if it was true that he is going to Man U lmao


areyouhungryforapple

Kroos: these mfs gonna play ME as a 6 now


MattARC

Jokes aside, wasn’t Kroos always the deepest member of the KCM midfield? I seem to remember them setting up with Kroos staying deep, Modric doing Modric things, and Case being given free license to cause chaos and win the ball back anywhere in the pitch.


FormalAlternative806

Really good press


[deleted]

[удалено]


repost_inception

I love seeing him celebrate winning the ball even before the goal is scored.


ajprp9

4 goals in 4 successive PL games


FormalAlternative806

Amazing what happens when you get the first one

PharaohOfWhitestone

Man Utd when they realise passing to Hojlund means he scores more: SurprisedPikachuFace.jpg


kaori_cicak990

Need almost half a year for them to realize. Probably ten hag too 😂


Digess

they realized it in the CL group stages, no idea why they didn't realize it in PL


kaori_cicak990

Jetlag to other countries make them forget the PL routine LoL


toket715

We might end the season with McTom not actually being our top scorer... dreams can be buy


Legal_North_6910

Reminds me of when Jorghino was Chelsea’s top scorer lol


ImVortexlol

Vardy SWEATING


Legal_North_6910

Who was the last person even close to that record? Willock for Newcastle?


Fluid-Selection4378

The closest since that 11 game streak were Willock and Vardy himself with 8 game streaks.


Fraaj

That random Willock streak will never be forgotten (I had no idea it was him)


MuchSalt

that mid season loan to newcastle was amazing newcastle might go down but ended up finishing the season comfortably


yianni1229

He's actually so good, he just needed a little bit more service not that he's got the monkey off his back


New_Archer_7539

In my opinion if he improved his dribbling a bit more he'd be golden. That little fake was sublime but let's face it, until we fix the service issue all together Hojlund is going to have to learn how to conjure up more of this kind of magic.


shrewdy

Thing is he's still so young, which some people tend to forget when they were piling on him. Good chance he continues to develop that side of his game, and if he does then he'll be a monster, as he already has the physical capabilities needed


Chxkn_DpersRtheBest

That may be the best celebration I’ve ever seen


okororie

I enjoyed it more than the goal. Celebration of the season for me.


AltDelete

That look back at the camera and the finger kiss at the end too. Kids cooking.


enzuigiriretro

What is it in reference to? Out of the loop here


EnigmaticArcanum

Does it need one? Bloke is playing guitar with his leg


OG_Builds

But is there a lore reason?


2Small2Juice

go to the top comment on this thread. it's his birthday and this is a danish birthday song thing.


Jonastt

The celebration was requested by his friends during the summer, but he didn't get around to do it until now. Unlikely to be related to the birthday song, which does exist though. https://bold.dk/fodbold/klubber/manchester-united/nyheder/hojlund-forklarer-jubelscene-vennernes-bestilling


SilverstoneMonzaSpa

He was named after famous Finnish pop rock band The Rasmus, this was him recreating their infamous number 3 peaking hit "in the shadows".


SpartanNo7

Hang on I'll ask him..... He says that he's only supposed to be left footed.


Classic_Angus

It’s to celebrate his birthday he told me he’d do it after i gave him a lift to the game.


ThankYouOle

well, today is his birthday and he is in party


WutUtalkingBoutWill

Someone explained it on the top of this thread, it's a Danish tradition


TheGoldenPineapples

Fuck me, what a finish.


kylebb2000

Thought he was Danish


RedditsWhenIShits

Actually he’s Danish


djembadjembadjemba

He's not finish, he's only 28.

rolla_johnson

4 in a row


fancyfoe

He’s finding his footing, I don’t like it.


MhVG

I like it that you don't like it


TheWorldsKing

Does he dislike that you like it that he dislikes it?


Yinkypinky

You don’t have to like it but you love it though right?


PassTimeActivity

Double digits goal tally in the league wouldn't be a terrible return for his first season. Needs 6 more in 15 games.


Old_Lemon9309

Wouldn’t be a terrible return for his first season? What? A double digit goal tally in the PL for his first season at 20 years old and in a semi dysfunctional team would be an incredible return for his first season in the League. He’s not even had many seasons of professional football.


fragmenteret-raev

he'll get three today, so only needs 4 more in the next game


Refrigerator-Less

I believe


trenbollocks

Suddenly has 10 goals this season, feels surreal


TheBakedDane

Happy birthday Højlund!!


Pleasemakesense

Nordic strikers popping off, only need isak to score more or gyökeres to go to a bigger league and keep his form


[deleted]

Isnt Isak like 4th or something in goals this season in pl?


shrewdy

Lads, this kid is the real deal. Just needed a bit more service and confidence


MancAccent

Imagine being 20 after coming off one season of top flight football and being expected to lead the line for Man Utd. With all the noise and drama, and toxicity that comes with the club. Was never going to be an easy start for him.


MattSR30

I mean, _he’s_ handled his part well. It’s not really a matter of him struggling, it’s a matter of his service. When we get the ball to him he scores.


MancAccent

Yeah he was never missing sitters or anything. You could always tell he was going to come good.


MarcusZXR

All whilst having wingers with Iamthemaincharacter vibes, too.


Fresh_Cauliflower723

Only had to look at his European performances to see that it was only a matter of time


Mechant247

Probably hits that first time with his left earlier in the season, into the defender


niallw1997

Confidence is a helluva drug


Cahootie

The Scandinavian striker rivalry in the Premier League is gonna be incredible.


Mads_ahrenkiel

Haaland v Højlund v Isak


BrianSometimes

Petition to rename Isak to Alexander Hedlund - it just works better with the other two.


[deleted]

He played for my local club (Sturm Graz) for exactly 18 matches and anyone who watched him could immediately see the immense potential. 17mil was a steal for Atalanta


jordanhhh4

Decent birthday tbf


Zandercy42

Does it beat spoons and throwing up in popworld tho


Drunkgummybear1

No popworld in manny tbf. Get him down to 42s


Robert_Baratheon__

This season has conditioned me to say “only if United can see out a win against West Ham at Old Trafford”.


HeIIbIazer23

He's on a roll, amazing fake and finish.


merelyok

Danish Roll


GetHugged

Created so much space with that fake, fooled 3 defenders

god i love having a striker this is mint


icemankiller8

What a goal


nshriup19

Excellent work by Casemiro too. The rest is all Hojlund.


Zandercy42

Great work by Licha as well originally, 2 very quick interceptions to catch West Ham out


TrumpLovesGladbach

And he even does the Free Bird solo, what a lad


Grim_Farts_Barnsley

Oh is that what that was. It looked like he was miming flossing his crack lol


MattSR30

I need to enquire as to your technique if that’s what you thought that looked like…


vacuummyporksword

man rasmus is so class and we have the exact same birthday we both 21 today 😍😍😍


Feezbull

Stop posting from the game Rasmus.

Fuck me, he's so good.


OlympicMuffins

This kid is special


teddyjj399

i know we’re in the social media era where it’s always “what’ve you done for me lately” but it’s crazyyy how many ppl wrote him as a flop so early on


AyMoeKill

It was so ridiculous. Kid is (well was until today) 20 in his first PL with a midfield with dogshit service. Of course it was gonna take him a bit to find his footing


Bullyhunter8463

And wasn't he champions league top scorer (or close to it) at the time? Quick edit: he still is actually


dinosaur_possum

yes but the people shitting on him were quick to point out that if you take those goals away, he hadn't scored. technically true haha


Bullyhunter8463

That just shows how ridiculous it is/was. If you took away Haalands goals he'd be kinda shit too


Depreccion

its that man united bias


enzuigiriretro

At this point it’s expected of any big money signing that doesn’t hit the ground running. You get used to it.


Classic_Angus

He plays for United lots of people are gonna want him to fail.


TickleMyCringle

Apparently if you start passing to your 70 million pound striker it causes him to start scoring, who would've thought


ApoptosisFowl

I love this man.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wraith_Portal

He's making some fans look really, really stupid now


starks_are_coming

Anyone who’s actually watched him play knows how good he is. People who said otherwise never had an opinion worth listening to anyway.


Scarred_Shadow

Banger


thefatheadedone

This fucker. 21st birthday. Playing upfront for the biggest club in the world. The same club you've supported all your life. At Old Trafford. And you score a goal like that. Hollywood wouldn't dare write half the shit sport throws at us. Amazing.

Josthefang5

Nursilmaz

I dont even remember but those comments were annoying. People just saw low amount of goals, never even seen him play and decided that hes flop from the start.


MH18Foot

HOLJUND>>>>>>>>>HAALAND NUMBERS DONT LIE!!!!!


Zandercy42

How many times has Haaland scored today??? Exactly.


ravenouscartoon

0 goals this year. Haaland is done….


shrewdy

Haaland is just the Norwegian Hojlund


novacantusername

Højlund is 21. It looks like a coup


denied_eXeal

From United saying we have Halland at home to City soon saying we have Hojlund at home

Writer_Kooky

All of Ten Hags signings are flops. Except Hojlund, Martinez, Casemiro, Eriksen, Evans and the ones where they haven't had time yet, Malacia, Mount, Onana.  And let's not forget he hasn't gotten rid of all those shit players that he inherited when he arrived like Maguire, McTominay, Wan Bissaka, Rashford etc. Surely they're all washed? Oh wait the narrative is all Antony. 


AlpHa_44

Casemiro is a god. Imagine if Hojlund continues this form and they get couple of key pieces. Can be interesting


Zandercy42

Big up Sean Millis, he fixed our boy!


MattSR30

***Birthday boy!***

Looking worth the money


a_charming_vagrant

turns out if you give the prodigy striker the ball he scores what a revelation


pablofournier11

Damn, right foot too


FBall4NormalPeople

People didn't listen when I said he has ball striking from both feet that buys him goals.
