Rasmus Højlund's Late Goals Propel Manchester United to Europa League Win

The Danish striker's brace secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Viktoria Plzeň, offering a glimpse of progress under new manager Ruben Amorim.

  • Rasmus Højlund scored twice in the second half, including an 88th-minute winner, to help Manchester United overcome Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League.
  • The victory marked United's first away win in European competition since March 2023 and moved them into the top eight of the league phase standings.
  • Substitutes Mason Mount and Amad Diallo, alongside Højlund, brought energy and creativity to an otherwise lackluster United performance in the second half.
  • Manager Ruben Amorim continues to face challenges with individual errors, including another mistake by goalkeeper André Onana that led to Plzeň's opening goal.
  • United's upcoming fixtures, including a derby against Manchester City, will test the team's ability to build on this hard-fought win.
