Christian Eriksen hails fellow Danish team mate Rasmus Hojlund ahead move to Man United
Christian Eriksen has hailed Rasmus Hojlund, a teammate from Denmark and claims he will come strong for Manchester United.
The United summer signing netted a stunning opener but the game would be overshadowed by controversies around how the home side treated Hojlund throughout the game.
Hojlund accuses San Marino
The 20-year-old, who sealed a 72 million pound move from Atalanta in the summer, told reporters after the game about the attack, before taking to his Instagram story.
“'I feel they targeted me, as you can see at the end,” Hojlund told the media, per Mail Online. “I understand Italian, and I could hear them saying that they had the idea to crush me.”
“We do so much every day to be the best version of yourself and keep fit for so many games. This behaviour from San Marino last night, trying to injure me was unacceptable!” he added on his Instagram story.
San Marino reacts to Hojlund
In a swift reaction, San Marino players have reacted to the claims made by Hojlund, with the United striker branded a ‘disappointment’ by defender, Roberto Di Maio.
Di Maio accused Hojlund of simulation and hoping for VAR to help him and Denmark.
“Today I read that Mr 80 million is complaining because yesterday he received less than great treatment from the defenders of San Marino,” Maio posted on Instagram per Mail Online.
'’Well dear, probably in football like today where physical contact has disappeared you can allow yourself to make fun of us little opponents with ugly and repeated gestures or to simulate at every opportunity hoping for the VAR for a penalty.”
