JONNY EVANS’ nickname for Rasmus Hojlund has left Manchester United fans in hysterics.

The striker has hit a purple patch in front of goal after scoring seven goals in his last six Premier League appearances.

Jonny Evans’ nickname for Rasmus Hojlund has left Manchester United fans in hysterics

Hojlund was called ‘Millsy’ by Evans following United’s win over Luton

He continued his prolific run with a brace in Sunday’s away win over Luton.

After the match, Hojlund shared a series of snaps to Instagram, with his United team-mates flooding the comments with support.

However, it was Evans’ comment which stood out as the veteran defender wrote: “Class Millsy.”

The nickname is a reference to Australian singer Sean Mills, who Hojlund was cruelly compared to earlier this season.

Rival fans mocked the duo on social media after Hojlund’s slow start in the Premier League.

Mills later travelled to England to watch United and was seen celebrating wildly as he scored in their recent win over West Ham.

Hojlund has claimed he does not know who Mills is, though, replying “No!” when asked by a fan outside Carrington if he had heard of “that fan on TikTok”.

United supporters were left in hysterics after seeing Evans’ comment, with one writing: “Loool he’s violating.”

Another added: “Brilliant on and off the pitch.”

Meanwhile, a third fan commented: “Oh they tease him with it.”

With his £72 million summer transfer from Atalanta to United, Hojlund has 13 goals and 2 assists.

He didn’t score in the Premier League until Boxing Day, but he has already done so six times in a row.

Additionally, he is currently tied with Scott McTominay for United’s league-leading score this season.
