Man Utd player trolls Rasmus Hojlund with new nickname after Luton brace

Rasmus Hojlund has been given a new nickname by a Manchester United teammate following his brace against Luton Town.

Hojlund scored twice in seven minutes at Kenilworth Road as United moved four points behind Aston Villa in their hunt for Champions League football.

The 21-year-old opened the scoring inside 37 seconds after capitalising on a mistake from Hatters defender Omari Bell.

Six minutes later, Hojlund grabbed his second by directing Alejandro Garnacho's effort towards goal with his chest.

After not scoring in his first 14 Premier League games following a £64 million transfer from Atalanta last summer, Hojlund has now bagged in each of his last six appearances.

He's the youngest player to do so, proving he's finding form at the right time for Erik ten Hag's side.

When things weren't going well for the Denmark international, fans on social media trolled Hojlund with videos of 'lookalike' Sean Millis.

Mills rose to fame on the Australian Voice in 2023 but is now known for his supposed likeness to Hojlund.

Last week, a supporter outside Carrington asked Hojlund if he knew who Millis was.

Hojlund bluntly told everyone while signing items: "No!"

It appears he may have been bending the truth ever so slightly. Hojlund celebrated United's fifth win in a row in all competitions on Instagram, captioning his post: "Big win away from home. One step closer to Where we need to be!"

Several United players commented on the post, but veteran defender Jonny Evans' managed to stand out.

His reply, later liked by Hojlund, reads: "Class Millsy."

United failed to maintain their fast start against Luton, who were motivated by a raucous home crowd in the first half.

The Red Devils weathered the storm and created several opportunities after half-time.

Hojlund told Sky Sports in his post-match interview: “[We had] a good beginning, two good and fast goals and then we drop off a little bit, we get unfocused and they get one back.

“We know with this crowd and this pitch and this atmosphere, 2-1 is always a dangerous result and then we go to the break. I think we created a lot of chances in the second half, we just need to score. I have one as well and yeah, a little bit annoyed by that.”
