According to the BBC, Hojlund has scored four Premier League goals in his last four games, with his latest strike coming on Sunday.

The youngster scored United's opener against West Ham United at Old Trafford as the hosts stormed to a 3-0 epic win.

His incredible run of form comes days after he ended his EPL scoring hoodoo against Aston Villa back in January.

Hojlund snubs Rooney in exclusive list

With the striker finally meeting the Man United expectations, he was recently asked to name his best five-a-side team of the club's icons.

The Mirror reports the former Atalanta star had no place for Wayne Rooney in the list, with the Denmark international opting for Cristiano Ronaldo instead.

Hojlund picked fellow countryman, Peter Schmeichel in goal and opted for Rio Ferdinand in defence ahead of Nemanja Vidic.

In midfield, he picked the legendary duo of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.

"I need to put Peter [Schmeichel] 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," Hojlund said.
"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. I want to put Ryan Giggs in there, Paul Scholes and then Cristiano [Ronaldo] up front," he added.

Meanwhile, Hojlund will look to be on form again when Man United take on Aston Villa in Premier League action on Sunday, February 11.

Scholes describes Holjund’s debut goal as lucky

Sports Brief also previously reported how Man United legend, Scholes previously commented on Hojlund after his maiden goal for the side.

The Danish striker scored during a Boxing Day fixture against Aston Villa, after 15 appearances without managing to find the back of the net.
