Rasmus Hojlund Reveals Inspiration Behind Air Guitar Goal Celebration for Manchester United. Rasmus Hojlund has shed light on his air guitar celebration after scoring for Manchester United against West Ham. The striker found the back of the net for his fourth league goal of the season in a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford. Hojlund surprised fans and teammates by lifting his leg in the air while pretending to strum a guitar.
The Danish player explained that he had made a promise to a friend that he would do the celebration if he scored. Having made the commitment last summer, Hojlund felt it was the right time to give it a try. In fact, he even received a guitar as a Christmas gift and hinted that he might start learning to play it.
Hojlund shared, “When I was with my friends in the summer, they told me I should do it, and I hadn’t done it. He reminded me, we had this short spell when I was in Denmark, and he reminded me I should do it. It stuck with me, and I just thought I would give it a chance. I’m not even lying, I got a guitar as a Christmas gift but haven’t used it yet. Let’s see, maybe [I’ll start playing the guitar!].”
Since his £64 million move from Atalanta, Hojlund has now scored 10 goals in all competitions for Manchester United. He expressed his hunger for more success and stated his desire to continue scoring goals, improving his game, and helping the team achieve victories. The striker is enjoying his time at the club and looks forward to the upcoming challenge against Aston Villa.
