Before this, Hojlund contributed 1 goal and 1 assist in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham on January 14. The Danish forward set the record at the age of 20 years and 362 days. Previously, Ronaldo held the record when he was 21 years old.

In this match, Hojlund assisted Rashford in opening the scoring with a deft header and a tidy finish inside the penalty area. Later, he seized the opportunity to double the lead from Luke Shaw's cross on the left wing.


After a goal drought in the Premier League, Hojlund has scored 3 goals in the last 4 Premier League matches, with Manchester United winning 3-2 against Aston Villa, drawing 2-2 against Tottenham, and winning 4-3 against Wolves. In the 1-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest, Hojlund was absent due to fitness concerns.


Across all competitions, the 2003-born striker has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in the last 5 matches. Before that, he went through 8 consecutive matches without scoring.


Hojlund is currently Manchester United's top scorer this season with 9 goals. He has scored 3 goals in the Premier League and 1 goal in the FA Cup. Although Manchester United was eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage, Hojlund left his mark with 5 goals.


Hojlund's form in European competitions returning to the Premier League could enhance Manchester United's chances of competing for a top-four spot. The "Red Devils" are currently 8 points behind Tottenham in 4th place after the victory against Wolves.
