- Rasmus Hojlund was spotted arguing with a teammate after starring in Manchester United’s win in the Europa League
- The Danish striker bagged a brace as a substitute to help his side complete a comeback win over Viktoria Plzeň
- The 21-year-old had a chance to complete a hattrick late on, but he failed to get the ball, much to his frustration
Rasmus Hojlund came from the bench and scored twice to help Manchester United beat Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League on Thursday night.
It was another lacklustre showing from Ruben Amorim’s side as they struggled to break down the Czech side.
The Red Devils’ blushes were, however, spared by Hojlund, who scored in the 62nd and 88th minute to guarantee maximum points for Amorim.

Why was Hojlund angry at Amad Diallo?
The Dane striker could have bagged a hattrick in stoppage time but Amad Diallo failed to square the ball, much to his frustration.
There was a small incident after the final whistle, with Hojlund seemingly confronting his teammate for failing to pass the ball. Fans online jumped on the moment with varied takes.

@eeemz_em said,
“Hojlund still mad at Amad Diallo for not passing to him? Terrible guy scores and starts thinking he’s all that.”
Ennies Lobby said,
“How many attacks has Rasmus killed, though? It’s childish. We won the game. He scored because of Amad to begin with.”

While Dylan said,
“Rightfully so.. very poor decision-making from Amad for the goal and the chance after.”
SirLord said,
“Until these boys get to know when to pass and when to score, we are never competing for anything.”
What next for Manchester United?
Amorim will now train his focus on his first Manchester derby on Sunday before playing Tottenham next week in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Amorim’s warning to Rashford
TUKO.co.ke has also reported that Amorim fired a warning to Marcus Rashford after their loss to Nottingham Forest on December 7.
Rashford walked down straight the tunnel instead of applauding fans, a thing that ha sput him at crossroads with his new manager.
