Hojlund inspires United
The 20-year-old stole the show as Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United survived a stunning second half from Wolves to extend their unbeaten run to four matches.
Hojlund assisted fellow forward Marcus Rashford for the opener before he doubled the lead with a smart finish to make it 2-0 at the break for the Reds.
Wolves did come back at some point in the game to make it 3-3 in the second half after Pablo Sarabia’s early goal after the break made reduced the deficit to 2-1.
However, 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo sealed the game with his excellent solo goal in added time to give Erik Ten Hag’s men the much-needed win and three points on the road.
Reaction from Hojlund
With a goal and assist in a blistering first half start for the visitors, the Dane became the youngest player to achieve the feat in back-to-back matches for United in the Premier League.
Speaking on his performance and form for the club in recent games, the Danish prodigy said United’s attackers are gelling well and it is helping bring out the best in his performance.
Despite a difficult start to life in the Premier League, he also credited his own development since arriving at Old Trafford for his recent eye-catching displays.
“I think we’re starting to understand each other, especially in the front line,” Hojlund said per Premier League.
I’ve also developed a lot since I came here and you can start to see that in my performances,” he added. “I’ve started to understand the Premier League and our game plan.”
With two goals and two assists in his last two Premier League games, the youngster feels he has adapted quickly to the English game and Ten Hag's tactics.
Hojlund's impact recently shows why United invested in the striker as their future focal point in attack following a 72 million pounds move from Atalanta BC last summer.
