OSCAR HOJLUND is “incredibly proud” of brother Rasmus, but claims to be better than the Manchester United star at Playstation.
The Copenhagen midfielder, 19, is the younger brother of Manchester United’s lead striker.

Meanwhile, his twin brother Emil also plays for Copenhagen and their dad Anders was a professional footballer in Denmark.
United swooped to sign the eldest Hojlund brother from Atalanta in the summer and he has since scored 13 goals for the club.
Oscar was present for his first Premier League strike against Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
He told Tipsbladet: “I saw his very first goal against Aston Villa. We were over there to celebrate Christmas.
“We were really excited and genuinely happy for him because it meant so much to him. We celebrated the goal as much as he did, so he was happy there.
“I watched the highlights after the Luton game as well. The family and I are incredibly proud.
“He had a bit of a tough start over there, and now he’s shown how mentally strong he is and bounced back. I hope he can continue.”
However, there remains a sibling rivalry between the brothers despite their close relationship.

Oscar added: “We focus on our own things, but of course, we do everything we can to keep up with how each other is doing, and then we talk after the matches.
“In fact, we talk daily as much as we can. We are quite close. We try to exchange a lot of things and ask how each other is doing. Then we also play a little PlayStation together, so it’s fine.
“I would say I’m the best at playing PlayStation.”
The teenager, who has been capped by Denmark up to under-19 level, has made 18 appearances for Copenhagen this season.
Those include five in the Champions League, most recently against Manchester City last week.
His 20-minute cameo featured a physical battle with Erling Haaland, which left United fans calling for Hojlund to help recruit his brother.
The Red Devils forward’s displays have also seen his younger brother receive more attention, the youngster revealed.

He continued: “It has changed (the attention), because my name is Højlund, but again: I mind my own business. I don’t put much into it. It’s still the same focus I have. I want to become the best version of myself, and then we’ll see where it takes me.
“No, I’m not (tired of hearing about my brother). There’s a lot about him, and I’m happy for him.”
Hojlund is hoping to overturn Copenhagen’s first leg deficit in the Champions League last 16 next month.
The Danish giants travel to the Etihad Stadium on March 6 looking to reverse their 3-1 home loss.
