You’ve been saying Rasmus Hojlund’s name all wrong… according to Man Utd’s £72m transfer himself
RASMUS HOJLUND has revealed that fans have been saying his name all wrong.
The new Manchester United striker has set the record straight on how to pronounce his last name.
Hojlund completed his £72million move to the Red Devils on Saturday.
He was presented to the fans at Old Trafford before the club’s friendly against Lens after signing from Atalanta.
However, in an old clip from his time at Sturm Graz, he revealed that most fans do not know how to say his name.
Explaining the correct pronunciation, he said: “My full name, and I don’t think anyone here can pronounce my last name correctly.
“Anyone would like to try – Hojlund. The ‘D’ is like ‘I learn’.”
Hojlund spent seven months with Sturm Graz before joining Atalanta last summer.
During his time in Austria, he scored an impressive 12 goals in just 21 appearances.
United fans will be hoping he can emulate that form in front of goal in the Premier League this season.

They will have to wait to see him in action, though, with the Danish international currently out injured.
He is set to miss the first two matches of the season due to an injury he picked up whilst still at Atalanta.
Hojlund has already been ruled out of United’s opener against Wolves on August 14.
Meanwhile, he is also a doubt for their trip to Tottenham the following Saturday.
