Rasmus Hojlund was the hero for Manchester United, scoring a crucial brace to secure a 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Europa League.

The Danish striker came off the bench to score two vital goals, overturning a 1-0 deficit caused by Matej Vydra's 48th-minute strike. Vydra's goal capitalized on a mistake by goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Hojlund's equalizer came in the 62nd minute, courtesy of a deflected cross-shot from Amad Diallo. He then sealed the win with a well-taken finish in the 88th minute, following a clever free-kick from Bruno Fernandes.

This hard-fought victory marks Manchester United's first away win in Europe since March 2023, and it keeps their hopes alive in the Europa League.
