Hojland did an interview with controversial YouTube channel 'The United Stand', which has landed him in hot soup.
Manchester United's Danish international Rasmus Hojlund, has found himself at the center of controversy after conducting an interview with a prominent Manchester United YouTube fan channel, The United Stand.
While Hojlund has been enjoying a stellar performance on the field, scoring seven goals in six appearances for the Red Devils before a recent injury, his decision to speak with the channel has reportedly raised eyebrows among some of his teammates.
The United Stand has been criticized in the past for its negative stance and alleged player criticism, with former Red Devil Paul Parker stating that the channel is "causing problems" at United.
According to reports from the United We Stand magazine, a few United players approached Hojlund, expressing concerns about his choice to give an interview to a channel that, in their view, was built on negativity and slaughtering United players.

Parker commented on the situation, saying, "I don't like what Mark Goldbridge is doing. It's a problem.
“Everyone has to make a living, but you have to be very, very thick-skinned to make money off the back of something you don't like."
