'I hope' - Rasmus Hojlund's brother gives verdict on his start to life at Manchester United

Rasmus Hojlund's younger brother, Oscar, has admitted he and his family are 'incredibly proud' of the progress the striker has made in recent weeks at Manchester United.

Hojlund, who joined United from Atalanta last August, scored for the sixth Premier League game running on Sunday, netting a brace to help Erik ten Hag's side beat Luton Town 2-1 at Kenilworth Road. He has now scored eight goals in his last eight appearances in all competitions.

Prior to plundering his first Premier League goal against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Boxing Day, the Dane had scored just five times in his first 22 outings for United, with each of those five goals being scored in the Champions League. His winner against Villa has turned out to be a significant turning point.

"I saw his very first [Premier League] goal against Aston Villa," the FC Copenhagen star told Danish magazine Tipsbladet. "We were over there to celebrate Christmas.

"We were really excited and genuinely happy for him because it meant so much to him. We celebrated the goal as much as he did, so he was happy there.

"I watched the highlights after the Luton game as well. The family and I are incredibly proud. He had a bit of a tough start over there, and now he's shown how mentally strong he is and bounced back. I hope he can continue."
