Rasmus Hojlund makes big claim on Man United debut despite loss.
Denmark’s striker, Rasmus made a big money move to Manchester United during this transfer window from Atalanta. He however could not make an instant debut, as he had sustained a stress response hotspot in his back. Making his debut in the tense game versus Arsenal, the center forward was very impressive on the ball, running into spaces and creating spaces for other attackers. Despite the 3-1 loss, Man United fans were very impressed by his display and have no doubt that he will be a really good asset for the club.

Cristiano would not swap his champions league titles for a World Cup.
Unarguably one of the greatest footballers of all times, Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved everything in world football, except for winning the World Cup. Whilst the 2022 World Cup tournament served as one more chance to lead Portugal to the tournament’s glory, Morocco served Ronaldo and Portugal a heartbreak in the quarter final round. In an interview, the player revealed that he would not trade his five Champions League trophies for a single World Cup. He is the all time highest goal scorers in the Champions League and one of the few players to have won the trophy five times.
