Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction spotted after seeing Rasmus Hojlund copy his goal celebration for Denmark

Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction has been spotted after he watched Rasmus Hojlund copy his goal celebration during Portugal's Nations League clash against Denmark.

Manchester United striker Hojlund scored a 78th-minute winner for Denmark in the first leg of their Nations League quarter-final.

It was his second goal in the space of four days after he netted in United's 3-0 win over Leicester.

Prior to that, the 21-year-old had gone a staggering 22 games without finding the back of the net for his club side.

And while he courted controversy for his goal celebration at the King Power Stadium, there was more light-hearted controversy with his choice in Copenhagen.

Hojlund marked his goal by performing Ronaldo's trademark 'Suiii' celebration in front of the Portuguese icon.

And Ronaldo could only watch on with his hands on his hips, seemingly not best pleased at Hojlund's goal and subsequent celebration.

The 40-year-old is hoping to play for Portugal in the 2026 World Cup and is continuing to lead the line for Roberto Martinez's side.

But Ronaldo didn't score at Euro 2024 and there are growing question marks over whether he should be replaced as Portugal's lead marksman.

Hojlund, meanwhile, will hope to carry his short run of goalscoring into the remainder of the season with Manchester United.

The striker was coming under increasing pressure due to his goal drought, with manager Ruben Amorim often preferring Joshua Zirkzee up front.

Whether Hojlund enters next season as United's lead striker remains to be seen, but he has indicated his desire to remain with the club.

As for his relationship with Ronaldo, Hojlund has previously said he looks up to the United legend - surely making his goal against a team involving the 40-year-old more special.

He told Danish outlet DR earlier this week: "Cristiano is everything to me. I fell in love with football because of Cristiano, I became a Manchester United fan because of Cristiano ... I wanted to be Cristiano."
