Rasmus Hojlund reveals true self with five-word message to Amad Diallo
Manchester United secured a vital Europa League victory with a second-half double from Amad Diallo, defeating Greek club PAOK 2-0.
Rasmus Hojlund expressed his appreciation for the Manchester United fans’ support during Thursday’s win over PAOK, sharing that he “loved” hearing their chants at Old Trafford.
The win marked United’s first in this season’s Europa League after three consecutive draws. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s squad delivered a disciplined performance, moving up to 12th in the group standings in the new format. Hojlund played the full 90 minutes before being subbed out for Joshua Zirkzee and later thanked fans on social media. Posting on Instagram, Hojlund wrote, “No witty caption tonight. Just wanna thank you guys for hearing those chants when we’re on pitch. Never getting used to it and absolutely loving it. Congrats @amaddiallo19 u deserved it!” adding a red heart emoji.
The upcoming match against Leicester on Sunday will be Van Nistelrooy’s last as interim head coach before Ruben Amorim steps in on Monday. United are hoping to build on their recent momentum, as a win against Leicester would give Van Nistelrooy three wins and a draw from his four games following Erik ten Hag’s departure.
Reflecting on their progress, Van Nistelrooy emphasized the importance of building on results against Leicester, Chelsea, and PAOK. “This second half, we can build on, the result, we can build on; our first European home win after one year. We addressed that, and it was time for a change, which the players executed well. Sunday is a big game for us in the league to keep up our performance,” he said.
