Erik ten Hag commended Rasmus Hojlund’s performance as just the beginning after the striker scored both goals in Manchester United’s 2-1 win against Luton. United closed the gap to five points behind fourth placed Aston Villa. Ten Hag praised Hojlund’s character resilience and predicted more success for the 21 years old.

The manager explained substituting Casemiro and Harry Maguire at half time due to yellow cards avoiding the risk of another booking. Ten Hag expressed frustration with Casemiro’s bookings claiming unfair treatment by officials. Luton manager Rob Edwards acknowledged his team’s resilience despite the defeat. Luton remains one point above the relegation zone.
