Singer Sean Mills has congratulated Rasmus Hojlund after the Manchester United striker scored against Aston Villa on Tuesday night.
The Denmark international netted the winner during the 3-2 victory at Old Trafford after a brilliant brace from Alejandro Garnacho.
It was a huge moment for Hojlund, who celebrated emotionally after firing past Emiliano Martinez.
The forward has often been compared to singer Mills by mischievous fans online, with the artist also encouraging the forward on social media amid his drought in front of goal.

And Mills, who now has over 635,000 followers on TikTok, has now taken to the platform to send a message to the 20-year-old with his barren spell now over.
“Hojlund you’ve done it, you’re a legend man and I hope my song helped you get your miracle goal,” he said.
“You’re amazing and I know this is going to be the first goal out of many.
“Congratulations Hojlund.”
Hojlund will now be hoping to kick on after getting off the mark for United.
The forward had already bagged five goals in the Champions League prior to the match against Villa.
But he finally struck in the Premier League in his 15th appearance in the competition to give United all three points.
The 20-year-old was visibly delighted after opening his domestic account for the club.
United had been staring down the barrel of another defeat after early goals from John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker.
Yet a brace from Alejandro Garnacho, coupled with Hojlund’s late goal, saved United from another poor result.
Speaking after his goal, meanwhile, Hojlund admitted he was relieved to have finally made his mark in English football.
“There is a relief to score my first Premier League goal, but it isn’t like I haven’t scored goals; I’ve scored five in the Champions League,” he said.
“You can see the relief in my celebration as well, but also the feeling of being the match-winner and getting the three points at home against a good opponent.
“I’m a lucky and happy man.”
He added: “I try to focus on my game every day.
