He’s stronger than Haaland and Henry!

Rasmus Hojlund is on an exceptional streak: Manchester United’s Danish center forward became, on Sunday, the youngest player in the history of the Premier League to score in six consecutive matches!

Unable to score in his first 14 Premier League matches (but successful at the same time in the Champions League with five goals), Rasmus Hojlund is now Manchester United’s essential scorer. The Danish striker recruited from Atalanta for 75 million euros last summer scored again for the Red Devils on Sunday at Luton Town.

Hojlund opened the scoring in the 38th second of the game against the promoted North Londoners, taking advantage of a back pass from an opposing player. He even doubled the lead immediately by deflecting a shot from Alejandro Garnacho (7th). To now total seven goals in the league (as many as Scott McTominay, who was MU’s strange top scorer in the PL).

Haaland, Lukaku and Henry beaten!

The 21-year-old’s streak is absolutely crazy as he becomes the youngest player in Premier League history to score in six consecutive games. Hojlund is ahead of some very big names in the English championship, since Erling Haaland, Romelu Lukaku and Thierry Henry had achieved this feat, all then aged 22.
