Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire were simply amazed by one performance against Luton Town yesterday.

Erik ten Hag’s side made it four Premier League wins in a row at Kenilworth Road, perhaps suggesting that Champions League football isn’t completely off the cards for next season.

United are now three points behind Tottenham Hotspur who lost on Saturday, and five behind Unai Emery’s 4th-placed Aston Villa.

Ten Hag will have enjoyed several of his sides performances, with perhaps Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo and Raphael Varane being the standouts.

Mainoo once again showed a maturity and finesse on the ball which some of his senior teammates struggle to achieve so consistently.

And it was certainly a day for experienced heads in defence, with Varane demonstrating just how effective old-school defending can still be.

But of course it was Rasmus Hojlund who stole the show for United at Luton yesterday, much to the delight of his teammates.

Following the win and his two goals, Hojlund took to Instagram to celebrate, sharing a collection of four photos.

Hojlund uploaded a post with the caption: “Big win away from home. One step closer to where we need to be!”

And both Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire were among a host of United players to congratulate the 21-year-old.

Rashford simply said: “Keep going bro”, whereas Maguire left a message saying: “On fire mate.”

It’s clear that Hojlund is a very popular character with his United teammates, and understandably so.

Although he’s not had the easiest of starts to life in the Premier League, the Dane has always looked determined and full of energy to turn his form around and get scoring.

And as he showed against Luton yesterday, the £64m United striker is now reaping the rewards of those efforts, having fully found his confidence.

Moreover, if the praise from his teammates wasn’t enough, pundit Gary Lineker has now admitted he’s becoming a huge fan of Hojlund too.
