Everton loan star Jesper Lindstrom has asked his boyhood pal Rasmus Hojlund to go easy on the Toffees at Old Trafford today.
Lindstrom messaged the cheeky request to his Danish international team-mate after Hojlund’s double for Manchester United against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday.
But he got an emphatic response from the United striker, who wants to continue impressing new manager Ruben Amorim.
‘I texted him after the game to congratulate him on his two goals, but told him not to score this weekend,’ revealed Lindstrom.
‘His reply was to tell me he would do his best to score goals.
‘I knew him from when he was about 10 years old. There is a good reason why Rasmus is in Manchester — he’s a good player.’
