at Kenilworth Road

RASMUS HOJLUND scored for the sixth Premier League game on the bounce as Manchester United emerged with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over a relentlessly fierce Luton Town.

Grand old Kenilworth Road staged an enthralling clash on Sunday afternoon that saw United’s Danish £72 million summer signing from Atalanta continue his impressive scoring streak by netting twice in the opening seven minutes, to provide the platform for a fourth successive league win for Erik ten Hag’s team.

The win over Rob Edwards’s impressive Hatters saw the Red Devils move to within three points of Spurs in fifth spot, and only five off Aston Villa in the final Champions League place, as the visitors put their underwhelming early season form behind them in Bedfordshire to bolster their quest for a top-four finish.
