Rasmus Hojlund added his name into a select group for Manchester United when scoring twice in the Champions League against his boyhood club FC Copenhagen on Wednesday night.

Hojlund put United in control at Parken Stadium with two first-half goals before madness ensued after teammate Marcus Rashford saw red following VAR intervention.

Ten-man United were pegged back from 2-0 and 3-2 up and Copenhagen eventually snatched all three points in Group A. Despite being yet to open his Premier League account, 21-year-old Hojlund has been in top goal-scoring form in Europe with five goals in four Champions League appearances this season.

However, those goals have come in losing causes against Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and now Copenhagen.
