Ten Hag hopes Charlton’s memory will spur them and Hojlund sparkles against old side
-
LONDON - Manchester United have no time for sentimentality from Rasmus Hojlund, as the striker faces his younger twin brothers and former club on Tuesday when FC Copenhagen visit Old Trafford.
The Red Devils desperately need a win to keep their Champions League campaign alive on what is sure to be an emotional evening in the wake of Bobby Charlton's death.
Arguably the club's greatest player, Charlton died at the age of 86 on Saturday, with tributes planned to the man who scored 249 goals in 758 games for United.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag's men need the highly charged atmosphere to inspire them after losing their first two games of a Champions League group stage for the first time in the club's history.
Hojlund has been the one beacon of hope from defeats by Bayern Munich and Galatasaray as he has scored three times in his first two Champions League appearances.
A £64 million (S$107 million) move to Old Trafford from Atalanta in August capped a meteoric rise for the 20-year-old United fan, who Copenhagen sold for just £1.7 million to Austrian side Sturm Graz in January 2022.
