The Oresund Strait, which stretches from Denmark to the Swedish shore beyond, is visible in Skodsborg. After a few more stops, the train arrives in Horsholm.

Here, in the quiet serenity of a middle-class suburb located 15 miles north of Copenhagen, was the start of Rasmus Hojlund’s incredible trip.

Take a stroll along Stadionalle, the spot where Hojlund played his first football game at Horsholm Usserod Idraetsklub (HUI) across the street and attended Valerodskolen. Not much about the row of low-set grey buildings on either side of the street is particularly noteworthy. It’s a short walk from here to the Hojlund family house.

Rasmus and his younger twin brothers, Emil and Oscar, were always expected to become football players.

Their father, Anders, played alongside current Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand for Copenhagen’s B93 during one season in the Superliga.On Wednesday, Rasmus Hojlund will play for Man United again for his boyhood club, Copenhagen.

Perhaps because their mother Kirsten was a good sprinter for the nation’s premier athletics team, Sparta, Rasmus is able to complete the 100 metres in under eleven seconds. He was a great swimmer as well, but he kept jumping the gu𝚗. also tennis.

Anders was a carpenter by trade who turned the house’s basement into a makeshift pitch so his three sons could play inside when the rain whipped up off the Oresund.

When Manchester United’s in-house TV station interviewed the 20-year-old after his summer move to England, Hojlund said, “I had a lot of tournaments against my brothers on that pitch.”

The Champions League match between United and FC Copenhagen on Wednesday night at Parken Stadium could bring back memories of those early struggles on the small, concrete pitch at home in Horsholm.

A fortnight ago, at Old Trafford, it almost happened when Rasmus was substituted for Oscar three minutes before he replaced FC Copenhagen, and he assisted in winning the last-minute penalty that Andre Onana saved to give United a 1-0 victory. In July, Emil and his twin made their senior debuts for the Danes against Lyngby.

Christian Mouroux, the sports director of HUI, who assisted Anders in coaching the boys while Kirsten assisted as team administrator, claims that “the whole family is infected with football.”

“I believe Kirsten pushed these boys more, but people outside of Horsholm sаy Anders must have really pushed these boys.”

The other oddity is that United’s new striker, who signed a contract worth £72 million, might not even be the best player in his own family. According to Mouroux, “his twin brothers are just as talented, if not more so.” In particular, Oscar. He has amazing talent. incredibly talented

It appears that Rasmus was never the best player growing up. Anyone who has followed his development would tell you that he is a young guy who is motivated to succeed by pure determination and hard work. It is a recurrent motif.

He grew up practicing drills on these HUI pitches for hours on end, frequently with his siblings and father.

After leaving Denmark to play for Sturm Graz in Austria and Atalanta in Italy, Hojlund returned whenever he could. Even the previous summer, just as his planned £72 million transfer to United was about to happen, Hojlund returned to HUI following a vacation to Greece.

Mouroux, who met Hojlund by coincidence at the airport in Copenhagen, claims that “he borrowed balls from us and did his own training” and that “he could see that he was stoked and something was in the works.”

“I cannot tell you how many times I have witnessed him down on the pitch going about his own business,” he continued. He would be practicing exercises on the pitch as we passed it during our Christmas social gatherings at the club.

He was employed as a young coach at a summer camp two years ago. The young children continue to pass him by on their bikes and wave. They won’t let him train alone any longer, in my opinion!”

Michael Geilager, the former headmaster of Valerodskolen, recalls a similar tale about Hojlund’s competitive nature.

He was extremely driven, according to Geilager. He didn’t stop until he had won, so we had to set some boundaries for him. Some of the games were really lengthy.

“They nearly made a hole in the playground’s cement from playing so much football.”

After Denmark passed new legislation allowing for extended school days, Geilager and Hojlund’s parents devised a scheme that let him leave school early in order to practice with Brondby.

“His parents and I had a lot of conversations and came up with a solution,” he remembers. We were all pleased because we were both adaptable and it was virtually legal.

We held a class where we discussed doing assignments and other topics. You could sаy it was loose. However, you could be certain that the family would follow through on their promise to make him complete the assignment.

Oscar was taught Danish by Louise Morell Sonne, who recalled Rasmus’s concern for his younger brothers.

She remembers that “if he had birthday cake with his classmates, he would make sure that his younger brothers had some too.” “My brother Rasmus was a very kind person.”

However, Hojlund’s will to succeed at any costs at Brondby would frequently get him into difficulty after he was pushed into the larger age groups and pitted against players who were older than him.

He wasn’t bothered by that. “He didn’t consider that,” grins Morten Corlin, his former coach. He had no intention of giving up or losing. When he lost, he was infuriated all the time.

With Rasmus, there was always something to improve. Calm never existed there. No simple training sessions.

He wasn’t the best either on or off the ball, but he had incredible determination. But in addition to his wonderful side, Rasmus also had a darker side.

He wouldn’t want to lose, therefore if someone beаt him in a game or practice, he would slightly intimidаte them later.

He would be vigilant about both his opponents and comrades. “Avoid doing it the next time.” For him, the session never finished. On a football team, that could be a little bothersome socially. He couldn’t probably turn it on or off.

He would occasionally truly step over the line, and I would chastise him for it. If not, we made every effort to collaborate with him and speak with the parents.

He played for the Under-13 team one year as an Under-12 player, but I sent him back to the Under-12s for three or four months because he was unable to unwind and focus on his football. We desired that he be himself and stop constantly battling.

However, there was a benefit to Hojlund’s belligerent nature. Corlin continues, “He was always at his best when we were at our worst.” He would always step up to cover both his own position and the one that was absent when we were down a player.

By the way, they sаy the same thing about Oscar.

Emil and Oscar started training at FC Copenhagen’s academy at the same time that Hojlund at Brondby stopped developing at the same rate as his friends and started to plateau. Simultaneously, the three brothers changed schools and clubs.

His raw physicality caught Copenhagen’s attention, and they turned him from an attacking midfielder to a striker.

At seventeen, he made his first of thirty-two appearances as a senior. Only three, though, were starters. The low point occurred when he was replaced in a cup match less than 25 minutes in, which fueled rumours that his local team didn’t properly value him.

Earlier in the year, Hojlund signed a £1.5 million contract with Graz and a £15 million contract with Atalanta. Copenhagen must have been kicking themselves after United gave the Italians £72 million in the summer, putting him by far the most expensive Danish player ever.

The three relocations took place in a 20-month period. “For him, it has gone incredibly fast,” Mouroux remarks. It says volumes about him that he has the guts to declare his desire to leave his comfort zone and live abroad by himself.

“Rasmus is an individual who truly enjoys a challenge.” Every time you submerge him in deep water, he becomes bigger.

Hojlund was available to United for £12 million when he joined Atalanta, but because he had only played in Denmark and Austria, they viewed him as mainly unproven. They were more interested in him in September of last year when he kept making progress in Italy and sent scouts to every game to evaluate his abilities and character.

Fearing that Tottenham, with their £86.4 million from the sale of Harry Kane, and Paris Saint-Germain would be circling this summer, United’s football director John Murtough departed from his preseason tour in Houston and took a plane to Bergamo.

Murtough arrived at the Atlanta training facility at 3 p.m. and concluded an agreement at 3.30 a.m. Although far more than United had originally anticipated, the £64 million transfer fee plus £8 million in add-ons was less than the £90 million Atalanta sought.

Hojlund revealed to MUTV that his nаme has no ‘d’ when he first arrived in Manchester. That’s pretty much all there is to him.

Grabbing a loudhailer, Hojlund exclaimed to the crowd, “We are going to the f***ing Euros, f***ing come on!” after Denmark’s victory over Finland last month marked a significant step towards qualifying for Euro 24.”

United has a really interesting character. Although Hojlund has only scored three goals in 13 games, all of which have been in the Champions League, it is still acknowledged that he is a raw diamond who will require time to develop.

Therefore, it is premature to draw analogies between him and the other blonde Scandinavian striker for Manchester.

Mouroux asserts, “I think it’s unfair to compare him with Erling Haaland.”

However, there is a lovely parallel made in Denmark with Nicklas Bendtner, our other wonderkid. They are the complete opposites of one another.

Although Hojlund’s partner Laura Rhod Sondergaard is from Horsholm, Bendtner’s love of partying included a high-profile romance with Danish socialite Baroness Caroline Iuel-Brockdorff.

It’s noteworthy that the somewhat chubby center-back that United’s newest recruit wore when he was introduced to the Old Trafford faithful in August had undergone cosmetic surgery by the time he made his debut at Arsenal a month later.

However, Mouroux is certain that Hojlund won’t be impacted by his notoriety. 100% of the time, no. Bendtner was gifted naturally and found things to come naturally to him. Apart from the life and the dream, he was never really committed to anything.

“Rasmus enjoys setting goals and is committed to hard work and his craft.” He won’t fall apart, in my opinion.

It won’t be succeeding at first, folding, giving up, or allowing wоme𝚗 or alcоhоl to invade his life. He is an entirely distinct persona.

Given that this is one of the largest stages in football, I cannot promise that he will succeed, but I am confident that, given enough time, he will develop into it. stretches from Denmark to the Swedish coast beyond Skodsborg, and I genuinely believe he can become a legend at Manchester United.

Mouroux, who met Hojlund by coincidence at the airport in Copenhagen, claims that “he borrowed balls from us and did his own training” and that “he could see that he was stoked and something was in the works.”

“I cannot tell you how many times I have witnessed him down on the pitch going about his own business,” he continued. He would be practicing exercises on the pitch as we passed it during our Christmas social gatherings at the club.

He was employed as a young coach at a summer camp two years ago. The young children continue to pass him by on their bikes and wave. They won’t let him train alone any longer, in my opinion!”

Michael Geilager, the former headmaster of Valerodskolen, recalls a similar tale about Hojlund’s competitive nature.

He was extremely driven, according to Geilager. He didn’t stop until he had won, so we had to set some boundaries for him. Some of the games were really lengthy.

“They nearly made a hole in the playground’s cement from playing so much football.”

After Denmark passed new legislation allowing for extended school days, Geilager and Hojlund’s parents devised a scheme that let him leave school early in order to practice with Brondby.

“His parents and I had a lot of conversations and came up with a solution,” he remembers. We were all pleased because we were both adaptable and it was virtually legal.

We held a class where we discussed doing assignments and other topics. You could sаy it was loose. However, you could be certain that the family would follow through on their promise to make him complete the assignment.

Oscar was taught Danish by Louise Morell Sonne, who recalled Rasmus’s concern for his younger brothers.

She remembers that “if he had birthday cake with his classmates, he would make sure that his younger brothers had some too.” “My brother Rasmus was a very kind person.

However, Hojlund’s will to succeed at any costs at Brondby would frequently get him into difficulty after he was pushed into the larger age groups and pitted against players who were older than him.

He wasn’t bothered by that. “He didn’t consider that,” grins Morten Corlin, his former coach. He had no intention of giving up or losing. When he lost, he was infuriated all the time.

With Rasmus, there was always something to improve. Calm never existed there. No simple training sessions.

He wasn’t the best either on or off the ball, but he had incredible determination. But in addition to his wonderful side, Rasmus also had a darker side.

He wouldn’t want to lose, therefore if someone beаt him in a game or practice, he would slightly intimidаte them later.

He would be vigilant about both his opponents and comrades. “Avoid doing it the next time.” For him, the session never finished. On a football team, that could be a little bothersome socially. He couldn’t probably turn it on or off.

He would occasionally truly step over the line, and I would chastise him for it. If not, we made every effort to collaborate with him and speak with the parents.

He played for the Under-13 team one year as an Under-12 player, but I sent him back to the Under-12s for three or four months because he was unable to unwind and focus on his football. We desired that he be himself and stop constantly battling.

However, there was a benefit to Hojlund’s belligerent nature. Corlin continues, “He was always at his best when we were at our worst.” He would always step up to cover both his own position and the one that was absent when we were down a player.

By the way, they sаy the same thing about Oscar.

Emil and Oscar started training at FC Copenhagen’s academy at the same time that Hojlund at Brondby stopped developing at the same rate as his friends and started to plateau. Simultaneously, the three brothers changed schools and clubs.

His raw physicality caught Copenhagen’s attention, and they turned him from an attacking midfielder to a striker.

At seventeen, he made his first of thirty-two appearances as a senior. Only three, though, were starters. The low point occurred when he was replaced in a cup match less than 25 minutes in, which fueled rumours that his local team didn’t properly value him.

Earlier in the year, Hojlund signed a £1.5 million contract with Graz and a £15 million contract with Atalanta. Copenhagen must have been kicking themselves after United gave the Italians £72 million in the summer, putting him by far the most expensive Danish player ever.

The three relocations took place in a 20-month period. “For him, it has gone incredibly fast,” Mouroux remarks. It says volumes about him that he has the guts to declare his desire to leave his comfort zone and live abroad by himself.

“Rasmus is an individual who truly enjoys a challenge.” Every time you submerge him in deep water, he becomes bigger.

Hojlund was available to United for £12 million when he joined Atalanta, but because he had only played in Denmark and Austria, they viewed him as mainly unproven. They were more interested in him in September of last year when he kept making progress in Italy and sent scouts to every game to evaluate his abilities and character.

Fearing that Tottenham, with their £86.4 million from the sale of Harry Kane, and Paris Saint-Germain would be circling this summer, United’s football director John Murtough departed from his preseason tour in Houston and took a plane to Bergamo.

Murtough arrived at the Atlanta training facility at 3 p.m. and concluded an agreement at 3.30 a.m. Although far more than United had originally anticipated, the £64 million transfer fee plus £8 million in add-ons was less than the £90 million Atalanta sought.

Hojlund revealed to MUTV that his nаme has no ‘d’ when he first arrived in Manchester. That’s pretty much all there is to him.

Grabbing a loudhailer, Hojlund exclaimed to the crowd, “We are going to the f***ing Euros, f***ing come on!” after Denmark’s victory over Finland last month marked a significant step towards qualifying for Euro 24.”

United has a really interesting character. Although Hojlund has only scored three goals in 13 games, all of which have been in the Champions League, it is still acknowledged that he is a raw diamond who will require time to develop.

Therefore, it is premature to draw analogies between him and the other blonde Scandinavian striker for Manchester.

Mouroux asserts, “I think it’s unfair to compare him with Erling Haaland.”

However, there is a lovely parallel made in Denmark with Nicklas Bendtner, our other wonderkid. They are the complete opposites of one another.

Although Hojlund’s partner Laura Rhod Sondergaard is from Horsholm, Bendtner’s love of partying included a high-profile romance with Danish socialite Baroness Caroline Iuel-Brockdorff.

It’s noteworthy that the somewhat chubby center-back that United’s newest recruit wore when he was introduced to the Old Trafford faithful in August had undergone cosmetic surgery by the time he made his debut at Arsenal a month later.

However, Mouroux is certain that Hojlund won’t be impacted by his notoriety. 100% of the time, no. Bendtner was gifted naturally and found things to come naturally to him. Apart from the life and the dream, he was never really committed to anything.

“Rasmus enjoys setting goals and is committed to hard work and his craft.” He won’t fall apart, in my opinion.

It won’t be succeeding at first, folding, giving up, or allowing wоme𝚗 or alcоhоl to invade his life. He is an entirely distinct persona.

Given that this is one of the largest stages in football, I cannot promise that he will succeed, but I am confident that, given enough time, he will develop into it. He has the potential to become a Manchester United great, in my opinion.ver really committed to anything.
