Rasmus Hojlund reveals training ground secret behind brilliant Manchester United brace
18.02.2024 - 20:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Rasmus Hojlund insists he meant to score his brilliant second goal against Luton Town and says he has actually practiced using his shoulder and chest as much as possible in training.
The Danish forward grabbed a quickfire brace to inspire Manchester United to another Premier League victory on Sunday afternoon, continuing his excellent run of form in the process.
Hojlund anticipated a defensive error to give United the lead within 40 seconds of the match and grabbed a second six minutes later when he improvised to divert Alejandro Garnacho's effort into the Luton goal.

MATCH REACTION: What Hojlund did before he scored shows he is transformed
Speaking after the match, Hojlund talked about his performance and the different attributes he showcased to grab each goal.
"I thought something could happen," he told Sky Sports when shown a replay of his opening strike. "I have a lot of speed, so I dragged it to my left foot, and I could score. I was a little bit unsure after the touch, but in the end, it was a good goal.
"A good beginning, two good and fast goals. We dropped a little bit, and they got one back. We know that with this crowd, 2-1 is a dangerous result. We created a lot of chances in the second half and we couldn't score.
"We know the pressure in every away ground in the Premier League is immense. We have to deal with it, we are Manchester United."
When quizzed on his unorthodox second, the United striker replied: “I meant it 100 per cent. I turned my body. I was surprised, it was such a good goal. I try skills like that in training when doing kick-ups. I have confidence at the moment, so they go in.”
