Hojlund scores first Premier League goal
“It’s been a while but I’m happy,” the 20-year-old told Amazon Prime at full-time.
“I’m the happiest man alive right now - you can see in the celebrations as well. We believe until the end and we showed a lot of character again today.”
Champions League goals
The Denmark international had already made his mark in the Champions League, scoring five goals for United in six group-stage games since joining from Serie A side Atalanta.
“I’ve scored a couple in the Champions League but of course it’s been a while in the Premier League,” he said.
“I’m happy to get the first one and now hopefully I can keep going.”
