Rasmus Hojlund sends Everton player 'warning' ahead of Man Utd clash as text message revealed

Rasmus Hojlund has sent a warning to an Everton star ahead of the Toffees' clash against Manchester United.

On Thursday, Ruben Amorim secured his first win as United boss after his men came from 2-1 down to beat Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa League.

The Portuguese will look for his first Premier League victory when United welcome North West rivals Everton to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Against the Toffees, Danish striker Hojlund will be hoping he can continue his recent fine form after scoring twice against Bodo/Glimt.

Ahead of the match on Sunday afternoon, Everton star Jesper Lindstrom has revealed his conversation with Hojlund, stating that the United striker has jokingly sent him a warning.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Lindstrom said: "I texted him after the game to congratulate him on his two goals but told him not to score this weekend.

"His reply was to tell me he would do his best to score goals."

Lindstrom then spoke about the struggles Hojlund faced early on in his career before moving to Italy and making a name for himself.

The Everton loanee added: "I knew him from when he was about 10 years old. He didn't seem much when he was young. His Danish team didn't believe in him and that's why he left for a club in Austria where he smashed it and then he went to Italy and smashed it there.

"There is a good reason why Rasmus is in Manchester - he's a good player. He has qualities - like you saw on Thursday with some good finishes."

After initially struggling to adapt to English football, Lindstrom has vowed to get better as he gets more minutes on the pitch.

He said: "As the games go on and with the more game-time I get, the more rhythm I will have - I don’t get cramp 60 minutes anymore, so I feel like I'm getting the rhythm again and I just need the last moment.

"I will do everything I can for them to buy me because I like it here. I like the training, I like the privacy, I like the life here. So hopefully they will buy me, but I have to show them that I'm good enough for them."
