Rasmus Hojlund helped Manchester United record another Europa League win as they return to winning ways. The Premier League side lost to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the league cup but was able to turn things around this time.
Rasmus Hojlund who stole the show came off the bench to score twice as Manchester United fought back from a goal down. The result lifts Ruben Amorim’s side into the top eight positions that would automatically see them qualify for the last 16 of the competition.
Rasmus Hojlund has now scored five goals in the competition this season and sparked a United revival after his second-half introduction. The 21-year-old former Atalanta forward levelled after some good link-up play from Antony and Amad Diallo. The forward prodding in from close range when the Ivorian’s initial effort was blocked.
The Denmark international then drove a low shot into the bottom-right corner after sprinting onto Bruno Fernandes’ clever pass. Hojlund’s intervention spared the blushes of team-mate Andre Onana, with the United goalkeeper making a significant blunder for the second consecutive game that contributed to a goal.
