The most recent footballer to claim that playing for Manchester United was his childhood dream is RASMUS HOJLUND.
But the new Β£72 million striker for the Red Devils has the proof!
When he was ten years old, Rasmus Hojlund expressed in a note his desire to play for Manchester United.
Rasmus Hojlund’s message
Hojlund, 20, revealed a statement he penned when he was ten years old for a school project outlining his two football goals.
Both have materialized in less than ten years, which is a significant victory for the “winner child” who inspires the committed Dane to keep growing.
Ten years ago, Hojlund wrote: “My goal is to play for the Danish national team and for Manchester United.” He then read the letter to TV2 Sport.
Dream part one came true in September with the first of his six senior caps.
The second part of the goal was completed last Thursday when United successfully rebuffed PSG’s last-minute interest in completing his transfer from Atalanta.
According to Hojlund, it’s all about having big dreams and having the courage to pursue them. If not, you won’t succeed in your objectives.
“It’s uncommon to get everything in one package, but with me and Manchester United, I’d say everything has just come together. It is the ideal match.
“The club is currently undergoing a process, and I would dearly love to be a part of it.
Rasmus Hojlund is in training with Man Utd but might miss the first two Prem matches
Last Saturday, the frontman was introduced to the crowd at Old Trafford.
This is also the reason I made the decision to move here at this time; I believe I can develop with the team and, with any luck, we can win many trophies together.
The hitman, who was born in Copenhagen, also uploaded a photo of him as a young student wearing United shirts with his younger brothers Emil and Oscar.
Rasmus’s siblings wore red shirts, whereas he wore a black shirt.
He recalled that he was “very small” when he first became devoted to United.
“I think that Rasmus at ten would probably be “buzzing,” as they say over here in England,” Hojlund continued.
“I’ve pursued that because (he) set himself a goal,” the speaker said.
Hojlund, though, will miss United’s first two games because of an injury incurred during the preseason while playing for Atalanta.
He may be away for a longer period of time due to rumors that he has a back condition and has to relax in order to fully recover.
