SEAN MILLIS wants Old Trafford to become the theatre for his own dream.
The singer would love fans to belt out his ‘Waiting on a Miracle’ Christmas viral No1 at Manchester United – after insisting he has embraced banter over his likeness to Red Devils’ striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Millis, 22, sprung to fame on The Voice Australia 2023.
But although he’s since faced some trolling, the Aussie says he’s comfortable with that and in particular has enjoyed supporters linked his ‘Miracle’ hit with Hojlund’s Premier League goal drought.
Fans began sharing Millis’ videos every time United’s £72million summer signing failed to net.
The TikTok sensation followed suit but with a more positive spin – putting up his own clips in a Red Devils’ shirt and sending Hojlund some motivational words.

Both men then struck festive gold – Millis in the online charts and the Dane bagging his first ever Prem goal with a Boxing Day comeback winner in a 3-2 home thriller against Aston Villa.
And Millis, who has the incurable disability Hunter’s syndrome, says he’s revelled in the whole experience with United.
Now he hopes to hear something extra special from the stands at the Theatre of Dreams.
With a beaming smile, he told Sky Sports: “It’s been beautiful. It would be a dream if they sang ‘Waiting On a Miracle’ at Old Trafford.”

Millis added: “I’m so grateful for the people connected with the song and I hope it inspires them to do what they want to do.”
Fans responded warmly online with comments like: “Just a nice fella to be fair isn’t he” and “This guy’s a legend”.
But some supporters still couldn’t resist linking his best-known song with United’s current plight – as Erik ten Hag’s men sit just ninth in the Prem and are out of the Champions League.
These jibes included: “Waiting on a miracle at Old Trafford. .. how fitting” and “A miracle is needed at the club alright”.
Millis’ Hunter’s syndrome causes health issues such as reduced lung capacity, joint stiffness and mild hearing loss.
