Rasmus Hojlund scored his first Premier League goal in Manchester United’s 3-2 victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Unai Emery’s in-form side appeared to be in complete control after first-half goals from John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker, and Erik ten Hag’s team was booed off at the break. However, two goals from Alejandro Garnacho changed the tone before Hojlund won.
The £72 million summer signing had to wait until his 15th Premier League appearance for this goal, which came in the first game since Sir Jim Ratcliffe purchased a 25% stake in United, giving his INEOS company control of football operations.
What a start, the historic victory was wildly celebrated at the final whistle. The three points move Manchester United up to sixth in the Premier League table, while Aston Villa remain third, missing out on the chance to tie leaders Liverpool on points.
Rasmus Hojlund scores Manchester United’s first goal in a comeback victory over Aston Villa
Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 3-2 in the Premier League on Tuesday after conceding two goals in the first 26 minutes at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag’s team made a terrible start and was booed by its own fans in the first half in the first game since British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe agreed to buy up to 25% of the 20-time league champions.
However, two goals from Alejandro Garnacho and a winner from Rasmus Hojlund completely changed the atmosphere.
Villa took the lead in the 21st and 26th minutes in front of Dave Brailsford, who is expected to play a significant role in the management of United’s soccer department as part of its new structure.
