Rasmus Hojlund sends ten-word message to Manchester United team-mate following England draw

Denmark may have drawn against England, but star striker Rasmus Hojlund cheekily admitted he has a positive.

The Manchester United striker helped his side to a 1-1 draw against the Three Lions in their second Euro 2024 Group C match.

But while neither team will likely be too pleased with the result in Frankfurt, Hojlund was determined to put on the bright side.

The 21-year-old took to social media to send a specific message to one of his United teammates, Kobbie Mainoo.

While Mainoo made a substitute appearance for England during their opening 1-0 win over Serbia, the teenager did not feature against Denmark.

And Hojlund jokingly admitted that fact – as well as sharing the points – would make things a lot easier on their return to Manchester.

He took to Instagram to post: “At least it won’t get awkward with Kobbie next practice.”

Hojlund’s side have now picked up two points from their opening two games, also coming away with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Slovenia in their opener.

It hasn’t been a brilliant campaign for Gareth Southgate’s side either.

England have faced widespread criticism for their unconvincing performances so far, with the manager also criticized for his team selections.

Hojlund and Mainoo weren’t the only Red Devils involved in the clash from both sides last night.

Fan favorite and Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen has been named in his side’s starting XI, but United defender Luke Shaw has played no part for England as he continues his journey to fitness.

The Red Devils will all be reunited after Euro 2024 ends as they return to Manchester to prepare for next season under Erik ten Hag, with the Dutchman staying on as manager.

Man United will begin their 2024/25 Premier League campaign with a match at Old Trafford against Fulham on August 16.
