Ronaldo or Messi? Manchester United new boy Rasmus Hojlund picks side: 'He is my Inspiration'

Rasmus Hojlund has revealed how Cristiano Ronaldo inspired him on his journey to Manchester United.

The 20-year-old Danish striker idolised Ronaldo while growing up and is hoping to become a Premier League icon just like the Portuguese legend.

Hojlund has experienced a rocky start to life at Old Trafford, finding the back of the net five times in four Champions League fixtures. 

However, in the Premier League, it has been a different story as he has failed o score or provide an assist in eight appearances. 

Speaking to TeamViewer Diaries, the ex-Atalanta man said:

"Cristiano Ronaldo has always been like my idol growing up,"

"I always thought he was the best football player in the world and I just tried to learn from him. He is the greatest goalscorer ever, probably as well. 

I've always looked at Ronaldo back in the day where he was more of a dribbler and now he's a proper, proper goalscorer."

Hojlund will be hoping to finally end his struggles in front of goal when the Red Devils travel to Goodison Park to face Everton after the international break.
