Several of Hojlund's team-mates were reported to be unhappy over his decision to be interviewed by the channel's owner and presenter Mark Goldbridge because they have been critical of United players.
Goldbridge – real name Brent Di Cesare
The United Stand have since received death threats warning Goldbridge that he is 'a dead man walking' and threatening to harm him if he turns up at Old Trafford.
The messages on social media mentioned other members of staff and the exact location of the studio. Police were called out on Tuesday while security has also been stepped up.
In a statement to Mail Sport, Goldbridge said: 'I totally understand that football is a passionate and divisive sport, and that people are free to decide and have an opinion on what content they consume.
'However, the pile-on some of our staff were subject to over the weekend was incredibly sad to witness. To be threatening people's lives yet again evidences the vile pack mentality that exists on social media.'
