West Ham's Antonio 'really rates' Hojlund
West Ham forward Michail Antonio is impressed by Rasmus Hojlund after watching the Manchester United striker score against his side on Sunday.
He told Sky Sports: "It's not about just scoring goals, it's about what you bring as well to the team and he brings a physicality, he's been able to get other people involved, he's a willing runner, and now obviously scoring the goals. The goal the scored yesterday was quality, the fake shot dragged onto his weak right foot, into the bottom corner, great strike through the ball. I really rate him."

Speaking to the BBC, the Bayern Munich striker explained: "I used to look up to players like David Beckham. Now I’m in that situation – there are a lot of young boys and girls looking up to me. Looking at what I do, not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well. You listen to your role models. I would have done anything Beckham said when I was a kid."
