Rasmus Hojlund is the latest footballer to declare that playing for Manchester United was his childhood dream.

The new £72 million signing for the Red Devils has proof to back up his claim. Hojlund, now 20, shared a statement he wrote for a school project at age ten, which detailed his two football ambitions.

Both have grown significantly in under ten years, a remarkable feat for the “winning child,” who serves as a source of inspiration for the committed Dane to keep progressing.

Ten years ago, Hojlund wrote, “My goal is to play for the Danish national team and for Manchester United.” He then shared this letter with TV2 Sport.

With his first senior cap achieved in September, the first part of his dream has come true.

Manchester United successfully fended off Paris Saint-Germain’s last-minute interest to finalize his transfer from Atalanta last Thursday, achieving the second part of his dream.

According to Hojlund, it’s essential to have ambitious dreams and the bravery to pursue them; otherwise, achieving your goals becomes unlikely.

“It’s rare to have everything fall into place perfectly, but with me and Manchester United, I’d say everything has just aligned. It’s the ideal match.”

“Thе club is currеntly undеrgoing а procеss, аnd I would dеаrly loᴠе to bе а pаrt of it.

This is аlso thе rеаson I mаdе thе dеcision to moᴠе hеrе аt this timе; I bеliеᴠе I cаn dеᴠеlop with thе tеаm аnd, with аny luck, wе cаn win mаny trophiеs togеthеr.
