His teammates have reportedly questioned Rasmus Hojlund’s decision to conduct an interview with a Manchester United fan channel on YouTube.
The Danish international has been in good form in 2024, having scored seven goals in six appearances for the Red Devils before recently picking up an injury.
During his prolific period, Hojlund sat for an interview with ‘The United Stand’ where he talked about everything from his goalscoring form to life in Manchester.
However, while some will have enjoyed getting inside the mind of United’s number 11, reports claim his team-mates have questioned the decision to conduct the interview.
According United We Stand Magazinea couple of United players spoke to Højlund about his choice to give an interview to a channel that “was based on negativity and the killing of United players.”
Rasmus Hojlund’s United team-mates reportedly took issue with an interview he gave to YouTube fan channel ‘The United Stand’ in early February.
Mark Goldbridge, who runs United Stand, responded to the reports and suggested that “jealousy” has played a role in the rumours.

The United Stand has previously been criticized by those associated with the club, with former Red Devil Paul Parker once claiming that the channel is “causing ‘problems’ at United.
However, Mark Goldbridge, who runs United Stand, has since hit back and insisted the criticism comes from “jealousy”.
leading to x, formerly known as Twitter, Goldbridge wrote: ‘Jealousy always seems to burn brightest on a Sunday lol! So, that interview took months to happen.
“Everyone at the club was aware, the player and others were making statements to the media on a training day at Carrington, we were there all morning. “If anyone wanted to stop him they could.
In October, former United defender Parker said he believed Goldbridge had been “attacking the club, the manager and the owners of a football club he doesn’t even love”, given that “he is a Nottingham Forest fan”.
Speaking about the situation regarding Goldbridge and United, Parker told BonusCodeBets: “I don’t like what Mark Goldbridge is doing.
‘It’s a problem. Everyone has to make a living, but you have to be very, very insensitive to make money off of something you don’t like.
The Danish international is in top scoring form for the Red Devils in 2024
Hojlund has managed to find the back of the net seven times in his last six appearances.
“He has no relationship with Man United, he’s a Nottingham Forest fan. It’s actually an incredible skill to do that… Make money from something you don’t like.
“He is attacking the club, the manager and the owners of a football club that you don’t even love. He has no internal feeling with the club and it is a scary but incredible feeling to have to be so involved in a club that you don’t support.
But that’s also what Man United is about. It is a club with a huge history and it is a history that everyone tries to take advantage of and be part of.
“A lot of people are making money off of Man United, but it’s crazy. One, they don’t support Man United and, to be honest, two, they don’t even like football.
In total, the former Atalanta striker has scored 13 goals in 30 games for the club.
“But it is a club that everyone wants to talk about and somehow it is possible to make money from it despite not having any relationship with the club.”
Hojlund has achieved impressive form in the Premier League for Man United, scoring in six consecutive games to help the Red Devils.
It marked a significant improvement in his form in front of goal, with the £72m summer signing failing to score in the Premier League until the 3-2 Boxing Day win over Aston Villa.
Hojlund had scored in other competitions and the striker had scored 13 goals in 30 appearances in his first season at the club.
