This goal extends his hot streak to six consecutive Premier League matches with a goal, showcasing the Denmark international’s consistent form.
In achieving this, he set a new Premier League record as the youngest player to score in six consecutive games, accomplishing it at the age of just 21 years and 14 days.
This surpasses the previous record held by Newcastle’s Joe Willock, who achieved the feat at 21 years and 272 days in April to May 2021.
Additionally, Erling Haaland accomplished a similar feat for Manchester City, scoring in six consecutive games from August to October 2022 at the age of 22 years and 73 days.
As reported by BBC 5 Live Sport, joining the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Eric Cantona in scoring in six consecutive Premier League matches places the Dane in esteemed company among Manchester United players.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville was on commentary for Sky Sports as Hojlund scoring the opening goal and said: ‘Hojlund, he anticipates. You think, has he taken it too wide? But no, it’s devastating.
‘He’s in form. He looks like the real deal. It’s taken him a good few months to settle down, but Rasmus Hojlund is really banging them in now, week-in-week-out, six games on the bounce.’
Within seven minutes of the match, Hojlund found the net once more, skillfully redirecting a wayward Alejandro Garnacho shot into the goal with his chest.
These two goals bring his tally to seven in the Premier League this season, following his move from Atalanta last summer.
Additionally, Hojlund has scored five times in the Champions League and once in the FA Cup, highlighting a promising debut campaign with the club.
