A police investigation has been launched after death threats were made to Manchester United fan channel The United Stand following an interview with Rasmus Hojlund.

The Danish forward is said to have promised an interview with the publication's YouTube channel following his £72 million move from Serie A side Atalanta in the summer.

He spoke to channel owner and presenter Mark Goldbridge last month and discussed a range of topics, including a response to the release clause in his contract at United.

But weeks later, a report emerged suggesting some of Hojlund's teammates were unhappy over his decision to be interviewed by Mark Goldbridge following his so-called criticism of United players.

Since those claims emerged, The United Stand have received death threats warning presenter Goldbridge that he is 'a dead man walking', according to the Daily Mail.

In fact, there have been threats to harm him if he makes an appearance at Old Trafford in the future, while messages on social media mentioned other members of staff and the exact location of the studio.

The report goes on to suggest that police were called out on Tuesday and security has been 'stepped up.'

A statement from Greater Manchester Police read: "Officers have spoken with the victim and relevant information has been passed over to the police. Enquiries are ongoing at this stage."

Goldbridge, meanwhile, has commented on the situation.

"I totally understand that football is a passionate and divisive sport, and that people are free to decide and have an opinion on what content they consume," he said.

"However, the pile-on some of our staff were subject to over the weekend was incredibly sad to witness. To be threatening people's lives yet again evidences the vile pack mentality that exists on social media."

As mentioned earlier, some of Hojlund's teammates at Manchester United were reportedly unhappy over his decision to be interviewed by Goldbridge.

Goldbridge – real name Brent Di Cesare – took to X, formerly Twitter, to address those claims.

He wrote: "That interview took months to put together. Everyone in the club was aware, the player and others were doing media on a training day at Carrington, we were there all morning. If anyone wanted to stop it they could of.

"A list is given to players and the manager each week of media commitments. They all know what's going on."

He added: "I'm sure there are some players who dislike the United Stand but guess what. There's players in the dressing room who dislike each other too."
