Hojlund, a devoted fan of Manchester United since childhood, has always looked up to Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 145 goals for the Red Devils during two separate stints at Old Trafford. However, Hojlund strongly believes that he would have a better partnership with Wayne Rooney. He admires Rooney’s work ethic and envisions a fruitful partnership, emphasizing that they could complement each other well on the field.

Despite not choosing Ronaldo as his dream strike partner, Hojlund openly acknowledges that he has modeled his playing style after the Portuguese superstar. He also draws inspiration from other football icons such as Robert Lewandowski and Romelu Lukaku, striving to integrate different elements of their games into his own. During his initial days at United, Hojlund expressed his admiration for Ronaldo’s winning mentality, stating that he shares the same desire to be the best version of himself.

He resonates with Ronaldo’s outspoken ambition and drive to constantly improve.
