An interview conducted by Rasmus Hojlund with a Manchester United fan channel has sparked controversy leading to death threats and a police investigation. Hojlund fulfilled his promise to speak with The United Stand a platform known for its critical stance towards United players.

However, some teammates reportedly objected to Hojlund’s decision triggering a backlash against the channel with owner Mark Goldbridge receiving death threats. Greater Manchester Police are investigating the threats which prompted heightened security measures. 

The incident highlights the toxic nature of social media and raises questions about The United Stand’s role within United’s fan base. Despite occasional engagement with the channel, the club evaluates its involvement carefully. Meanwhile, Hojlund is set to return to action in the FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool after recovering from injury.
