Hojlund sets new Champions League scoring record for Man United just four games in

Rasmus Hojlund might be 007 in the Premier League, but in the Champions League he can’t stop scoring.

The Danish 20-year-old found the net again for Manchester United in Europe, taking less than three minutes to open the scoring against boyhood club Copenhagen, before adding another in the 28th minute.

Sadly for him his homecoming eventually ended in defeat as Copenhagen won a chaotic clash 4-3.

There were no signs of a muted celebration for the £72million summer signing from Atalanta, who jetted straight off in glee after both efforts.

It’s easy to see why he was so happy, with Hojlund now boasting a record of five goals in four Champions League games for United, a new club record.

Former Red Devils striker Dimitar Berbatov earlier had the record for the best Champions League start in Manchester with four in four, but Hojlund had already beaten him, and may well add to it before the 90 minutes is up.

Hojlund had a wicked shot saved for a hat-trick shortly after, and then swept another effort just wide.

Sadly for him, though, the headlines were soon taken by Marcus Rashford, who was sent off in the 42nd minute.

United then lost their 2-0 lead to head in for the break level, taking the gleam off of their new star striker.

Things only got worse in the second half, with Bruno Fernandes’ go-ahead goal cancelled out by Lukas Lerager before the aptly named Roony Bardghji sealed all three points.
