Utd fan channel hits back at nonsense claims his negative interview with Hojlund

Mark Goldbridge has hit back at criticism aimed towards his one-on-one interview with Manchester United star Rasmus Hojlund, after reports it was questioned by the Dane's team-mates.

He added: 'We had to persuade them and show them our big audience, they said OK and the player was alright with it, the club was alright with it and
