Rasmus Højlund’s reaction to scoring his first Premier League goal for Manchester United to secure a comeback victory over Aston Villa said everything about his emotions, according to the forward.
The Denmark international took 15 league appearances to find the net for the first time, causing many to question his suitability as United’s first-choice striker after arriving for £72m from Atalanta in the summer. But the 20-year-old’s instinctive strike inside the box completed United’s turnaround from being 2-0 down to bring euphoria to Old Trafford.
