Hojlund thanks to a Manchester United veteran! explained the reason for scolding his teammates and revealed two major goal advantages

Rasmus Hojlund, who scored two goals for United in their comeback over Viktoria Plzen, revealed that his second goal, although from a set-piece, was not a pre-match rehearsal routine, but rather a close association with Bruno Fernandes, with another departed Red Devils player as the inspiration.

The Danish £72 million centre-forward said he did it because he had seen Manchester United's No.9 Anthony Martial score similar goals in the past, so he felt that as long as he was running, B Fee would definitely pass the ball over, and it did.

With two minutes remaining, Hojlund ran to the left side of the penalty area and Fernandes duly sent a through ball to the Danish striker's luck as he picked up the ball just in time to get past his opponent and then fired a low shot into the far corner to score the winning goal.

The pass looked like it had been practised on the training ground, which led to some on social media touting United's new set-piece coach Carlos Fernandes, but Hojlund revealed that the combination was entirely instinctive and improvised.

'I've seen Bruno pass like that before, I remember it was Anthony Martial who scored and Bruno lobbed the ball to him and I think I had a good chance because I was strong enough to get around the defenders and finish the shot. Hojlund explained.

Hojlund was referring to United's game against Manchester City that year, when Fred feigned to take a free-kick, only to be a classic Manchester derby goal when Fernandes picked up a quick pass and Anthony Martial ran in time to score with a low shot.

Coincidentally, United will be away to Pep Guardiola's Blues in the Premier League this weekend, who have been in a slump of form lately, and Hojlund will surely be hoping to keep scoring goals.

In the game, Hojlund also chose not to get along with each other because of the pass, and quarreled with teammates such as Ahmad Diallo, scolding the opponent for not passing the ball in time. Like coach Amorim, he thinks this positive dispute is a good thing.

The Dane explained: "I think the key is to build a bond with each other, especially when you're playing in that system and your team-mates are close to each other. It's important to know what the players are doing and the coach is trying to get the players to work together, so that's good."

Hojlund, who came on as a substitute for Marcus Rashford on 56 minutes, believes he has two major strengths that could help him 'kill the defenders' and score for United. 'It was a bit difficult at the beginning, we had to read the tactics of the opponents and they were also going for one-on-one, so after the team talk at half-time we were in control of the game. "After that, we had more chances and finished the game in the second half. I think this fight suits me well, the opponent is brave to play one-on-one, and that's where my strength lies. I burst into the box and used my speed and power to beat the defenders. Take the lead and score, that's what I want to do. I'm very happy with those two goals, but the most important thing is to win the game and get closer to the knockout rounds."

Hojlund stressed that the match could help the whole team master Amorim's 343 style of play. "We still need more time, it's too early, we need to bring our daily work together and keep everything in mind. It still takes a lot of practice and time, we don't have a lot of training, so we have to train in competitions. I know it sounds a little wrong, but it's the best way for you to learn. It's a bit difficult, it's cold today, the environment is tough and the course is a bit muddy. We had to deal with it and we solved it in the second half. In the first half we didn't play directly enough, there were a lot of gaps behind them.'
