The 20-year-old forward will remarkably face his twin brothers during the European group stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>United have been drawn against Danish champions Copenhagen, one of Hojlund\u2019s former sides. But the attacker\u2019s 18-year-old siblings, Emil and Oscar, also play for the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emil and Oscar have made just one league appearance for Copenhagen each, though that has not quelled the excitement in the Hojlund household.

He added: \u201cI&#8217;m really looking forward to us meeting each other in the Champions League. Of course it&#8217;s great to meet your former club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s my club at home, but it&#8217;s not many times you get to meet your brothers in your life. We have to hope that I play, and [my brothers] do too, but just that the opportunity arises, I think it is cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>United paid Atalanta around \u00a372m to sign Hojlund in the summer, desperate to plug their goalscoring issues. Having arrived with an injury, the prolific ace made his debut in the Red Devils\u2019 3-2 defeat against Arsenal on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Club legend Gary Neville was impressed by the No 11\u2019s cameo at the Emirates Stadium.

Ronaldo was not a classic target man, [Anthony] Martial and [Marcus] Rashford certainly aren&#8217;t, but it looks as though he will mess people about. The good thing is that he&#8217;s still learning the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s only played a couple of seasons at top-level football, but people are expecting him to be an Erling Haaland for Manchester United.
