Man United star Rasmus Hojlund pokes fun at Porto social media blunder after goal vs Brentford

Rasmus Hojlund appeared to poke fun at his recent social media blunder after scoring in Manchester United's 2-1 Premier League win over Brentford.

Erik ten Hag's side moved up to tenth in the table after Alejandro Garnacho and Hojlund found the back of the net to cancel out Ethan Pinnock's first-half opener at Old Trafford.

For Hojlund, it was his first Premier League goal of the season and meant he could perform a new celebration, which he was criticised for showing off in United's recent Europa League draw with FC Porto.

Goals from Hojlund and Marcus Rashford raced United into a 2-0 lead at the Estádio do Dragao earlier this month, though goals from Pepe and Samuel Omorodion in the space of 23 minutes turned the game on its head and put the home side 3-2 ahead.

United, though, did manage to salvage a point in second-half stoppage time as Harry Maguire headed home Christian Eriksen's corner.

But despite his goal, Hojlund angered sections of the United fanbase as he took to Instagram to commemorate his celebration rather than condemn United's poor performance: "Luckily I had 6 weeks to practice my celebration. A win would’ve made it perfect," wrote the Denmark international.

And after scoring the winner against the Bees on Saturday, the United forward couldn't help but poke fun at his earlier mishap: "Should've kept that celebration caption for today," he wrote on Instagram.

Saturday's strike was Hojlund's first in the Premier League since May.
