Singer Sean Mills has congratulated Rasmus Hjolund after the Manchester United striker scored against Aston Villa on Tuesday night.
The Denmark international scored the winner after Alejandro Garnacho scored twice during the 3-2 win at Old Trafford.
It was a huge moment for Hjolund, who celebrated emotionally after defeating Emiliano Martínez.
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 taken to the platform to send the 20-year-old a message now that his barren spell is over.
He said, “Hjölund you did it, you’re a great guy and I hope my song helped you achieve your miracle goal.”
“You are amazing and I know this will be the first of many goals.
“Congratulations Hjolund.”
Hjolund will now be hoping to build on the lead after taking the lead for United.
The forward had already scored five goals in the Champions League before the match against Villa.
But he ultimately gave United all three points in his 15th Premier League appearance.
The 20-year-old looked very happy after opening his domestic account for the club.
United were facing another defeat after early goals from John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker.
Yet two goals from Alejandro Garnacho and a late strike from Hjölund saved United from another poor result.
Meanwhile, speaking after his goal, Hjolund admitted he was relieved to finally make his mark in English football.
“It’s a relief to score my first goal in the Premier League, but it’s not like I haven’t scored goals; I scored five in the Champions League,” he said.
“You could also see the relief in my celebration, but also the feeling of being a match-winner and getting three points on home ground against a good opponent.
“I am a lucky and happy person.”
He further said, “I try to focus on my game every day.
