Rasmus Hojlund snubs Wayne Rooney when naming his dream Man Utd five-a-side team
Rasmus Hojlund snubbed club legend Wayne Rooney as he named his dream Manchester United five-a-side team.
Hojlund scored in his fourth consecutive match for Man United as he bagged a goal in his side's 3-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday.
He opened the scoring with an emphatic strike to bring up his fourth Premier League goal of the season.
After his heroics at Old Trafford, Hojlund sat down with Mark Goldbridge, where he touched on a series of topics - ranging from whether he has a release clause in his contract to picking his dream five-a-side team.

The budding Dane was tasked with selecting his ultimate five-a-side team but wasn't allowed to name any current Man United players.
In goal, Hojlund opted for his fellow countryman Peter Schmeichel, who was a part of the club's famous treble-winning campaign in 1999.
On The United Stand, he explained: "I need to put Peter in goal. Peter is Danish. Peter won everything here. Peter is a legend here but is also a legend in Denmark because he won the Euros for us."
The 21-year-old then named Rio Ferdinand over Nemanja Vidic in defence, adding: "I need to put Rio in there because he's very memorable to me.
"I would love to put Vidic in there, but I can only have one defender," he added.
The forward rounded off his dream five-a-side team with Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I want to put Ryan Giggs in there, Paul Scholes and then Cristiano Ronaldo up front," he concluded.
Goldbridge also named his dream five-a-side team and agreed with three of Hojlund's picks.
He sided with the Man United star over Schmeichel, Scholes and Ronaldo while opting for Roy Keane and Rooney.
Hojlund, who has 10 goals to his name in all competitions this season, will be looking to score in his fifth game in a row when the Red Devils resume their league campaign on Sunday against fourth-placed Aston Villa.
