All eyes will be on Rasmus Hojlund as Denmark eyes to upset England in their second fixture in the Euro 2024. The Danes picked up a single point against Slovenia in their opening fixture and will need a point tonight to keep themselves alive in the competition. While this was already a tough fixture, Slovenia’s 1-1 draw over Serbia has mounted the pressure on the Red and Whites.

Kasper Hjulmand has some top names at his disposal, with Rasmus Hojlund likely to be on the top of the list. The Manchester United number nine had a decent campaign for the Red Devils in his debut season and will look to put on similar shifts for his national side. This will be the striker’s first major tournament for his country after missing out on a berth in the World Cup squad. With the Euros a chance for Hojlund to leave a stamp on Europe, the player will surely receive the support of his family, who will be in attendance to cheer on the striker.

The striker comes from a family of athletes with his parents having a decorated past. Rasmus Hojlund’s father, Anders Hojlund, was amongst the highest-rated strikers outside the top flight. Meanwhile, his mother Kirsten Winther was a 100-meter sprinter before she joined the military.

It doesn’t stop there, as the striker’s younger siblings are also soccer players with Oscar and Emil representing the Denmark U19 team. Apart from their national allegiance, Oscar is also a part of Copenhagen’s setup while the younger twin Emil plays for their youth team.

Who is Rasmus Hojlund dating?

Apart from spending time with his family, the player was often spotted with his girlfriend, Laura Rhod Sondergaard, in Manchester. The 20-year-old social media influencer accompanied her boyfriend to Old Trafford as she looks to support him in the new challenge in his career. While it’s uncertain how long the pair have been dating, Rasmus Hojlund and his girlfriend were in a somewhat long-distance relationship during the player’s run with Serie A side Atalanta.

Laura, in her free time, loves to travel with her Instagram filled with holiday snaps from different parts of the world. Last year, the couple was spotted together in Mallorca enjoying a glass of wine on the beach. Rasmus Hojlund will be busy for the rest of the month with the Euros on his calendar.

However, we can expect the couple to jet off to some amazing holiday destination this summer before the striker joins his Manchester United teammates to prepare for the upcoming Premier League campaign.
