Manchester United newcomer Rasmus Højlund revealed which of the great Mancunian players he considers his idol and what he would like to learn from him.
Of course, Cristiano [Ronaldo] was my idol when he was playing back then, so I kept following him and of course kept following Manchester United. I think there's an interview - the reporter asked them 'Who's the best football player in the world?' and he [Ronaldo] just said 'Me'. I like this mentality, that's the same mentality I go for.
