Man Utd fans ALL saying same thing about Rasmus Hojlund after Denmark winner vs Portugal, 'insane' moment stands out (2025)

Manchester United fans instantly reacted to Rasmus Hojlund after the Denmark striker made a massive impact against Portugal in the Nations League on Thursday.

Rasmus Hojlund is one of several Manchester United players who are currently away from Old Trafford on international duty during the March international break.

The 22-year-old Manchester United striker was named in Brian Riemer’s Denmark squad, despite his hit-and-miss season at Old Trafford in the 2024-25 campaign.

Hojlund went a whopping 21 matches in a row without finding the back of the net before he broke his goalscoring drought in United’s 3-0 win over Leicester City.

The Denmark international broke the deadlock for United against Leicester City in the first half of the Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium last Sunday.

Hojlund has only managed to score three times in 24 Premier League matches for United this season and he has netted five times in 10 Europa League fixtures.

Denmark manager Brian Riemer had Monaco forward Mika Biereth leading the frontline against Portugal ahead of Hojlund for Thursday evening’s clash.

Man Utd fans on Rasmus Hojlund’s performance vs Portugal in the Nations League

Mika Biereth was withdrawn in the 69th minute by Brian Riemer and Rasmus Hojlund came on the pitch with the scoreline at 0-0 between Denmark and Portugal.

Denmark welcomed Portugal to the Parken in Copenhagen for their first-leg Nations League quarter-final clash and Hojlund was the difference-maker on the night.

Only nine minutes after coming off the bench, Hojlund broke the deadlock for Denmark and Riemer’s men went on to clinch a 1-0 win on Thursday at the Parken.

Hojlund celebrated his opener in the first-leg tie by doing the iconic ‘si’ celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo while the Manchester United legend was still on the pitch.

United fans on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, praised Hojlund for getting his “confidence” back after his crucial strike against Portugal.

However, Red Devils supporters were stunned at the “insane” moment that the Denmark international decided to use the celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo.

One X user wrote: “G’waarn [sic] Hojlund. Had a feeling he was going to score tonight. Long may it continue. On a side note, Ronaldo would’ve HATED that.”

“Hojlund strikes again,” another simply said.

Someone else commented: “My boy Hojlund scores against Portugal and does the siu celebration. I’m happy and sad [at the] same time. Life of a Manchester United fan.”

“Hojlund scores against Portugal and hits the SIUU [sic],” a fourth added.

Another United fan tweeted: “Hojlund[’s] confidence is back. Hope after the international break he will score more goals for United [when] he’s back.”

While a sixth supporter reacted: “Hojlund scores for Denmark; hopefully, he can bring that form into that United side.”

Somebody else said: “This is brilliant news for Denmark [and] for United – a fully confident/firing Hojlund could be a game-changer for us moving forward. Hitting the siuuu celebration vs Ronaldo [and] Portugal takes some nerve, too.”

An eighth claimed: “Not gonna lie I know Hojlund[’s] idol is Ronaldo but doing the SIUUUU against his him is insane; hate to see it, but as a United fan, I’m happy Hojlund is finding the back of the net again.”

Rasmus Hojlund’s big impact for Denmark will be welcomed by Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim will be keen to see Hojlund build on his momentum for the crucial return-leg tie between Denmark and Portugal in the Nations League quarter-finals.

The 40-year-old United manager continued to use Hojlund and kept faith with him in the Red Devils frontline amid his struggling form in recent months.

Both Joshua Zirkzee and Hojlund have failed to deliver the regular goalscoring output that Ruben Amorim has needed since his arrival from Sporting CP in 2024.

Roberto Martinez’s men will now face Denmark in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie on Sunday at Sporting CP’s Estadio Jose Alvalade.
