This win ended their four-match winless run in the Premier League and also boosted their hopes of European qualification, keeping their aspirations alive as they push for a spot in the UEFA Europa League.

The match began with Manchester United dominating possession, creating several scoring opportunities early on.

Rasmus Hojlund then sealed the victory with a goal, securing all three points for the home side. This victory kept Manchester United’s top-four hopes alive and also showed their ability to overcome adversity and deliver when it matters most.
