In the first minutes of the away trip to Luton, Rasmus Hojlund scored twice to extend his scoring streak to 6.
The Danish striker is in devastating form at Man United as he has continuously scored goals in recent times. Starting from the win over Aston Villa at the end of December 2023, Rasmus Hojlund opened fire non-stop, and this was the 6th match a player born in 2003 scored.
Right in the opening minutes of the match against Luton, the Red Devils’ ยฃ72 million contract scored a double. First, he scored the opening goal from a flash of opportunity, when the Luton defender passed the ball incorrectly to the goalkeeper. A few minutes later, Hojlund appeared in the right place to put the ball into the net with his chest, from Garnacho’s shot from outside the penalty area.
With this goal, Hojlund officially became the youngest player in Premier League history to score in 6 consecutive matches, at the age of 21 years and 14 days. Previously, he and Nicolas Anelka shared the milestone of scoring goals in 5 consecutive Premier League matches, but at that time Hojlund was still “older” than the former Chelsea star.
Adding 1 goal in the 4-2 win over Newport in the FA Cup, Rasmus Hojlund is in terrible form – scoring 8 goals in the last 8 matches, when the match with Luton has not yet ended. After the beginning of the season when his talent and class were questioned, the Danish striker is proving his value and the reason why Man United accepted to spend 72 million pounds for his signature.
