Rasmus Hojlund was happy to play his part in another important Manchester United win over Luton Town, but he admits he was a little disappointed that they didn’t win by a greater margin.
Hojlund bagged a brilliant brace as United raced into an early two-goal lead before Carlton Morris grabbed one back for the home side at Kenilworth Road.
Both sides would go on to have plenty of other chances to win the game, including Hojlund, who saw a second-half effort saved by Thomas Kaminski from close range.
Bruno Fernandes should have scored when he rounded the Luton ‘keeper only to have his shot blocked by Albert Sambi Lokonga, while Alejandro Garnacho wasted a glorious one-on-one with Kaminski as well.
PLAYER RATINGS: Hojlund and Mainoo excellent in Luton win
United did enough to grind out another three points, but Hojlund has warned that they can’t afford to switch off again if they are to have a successful end to the campaign.
“Three points is the most important. I am there to help the team, so I am happy,” he told BBC’s Match of the Day. “We are switching off a little bit. We know with this crowd and also the team, they are in a good run of form. We made it hard for ourselves today.
“I was rubbing my hands a lot of times because I was quite nervous. I’m grateful for the win, though, but a little bit lucky.
“I had a chance myself that I needed to put in the back of the net. Of course, we need to score those. But I am sure that next week we will bounce back and show Old Trafford what we are made of.”
Manchester United fans had a lot to say about Andre Onana after the Cameroon player’s performance against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Sunday.
Erik ten Hag’s men travelled away for their Premier League clash with serious momentum, with Manchester United undefeated since the start of 2024.
United defeated Wolves in a thrilling 4-3 Premier League contest at the Molineux before the Red Devils picked up a 3-0 win over West Ham at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils, who defeated Aston Villa 2-1 away from home, started off superbly well against Luton Town in their latest Premier League match.
Rasmus Hojlund pounced on a reckless mistake from Amari’i Bell in the opening minute and the United striker superbly slotted past Thomas Kaminski.
The Denmark international added United’s second in the seventh minute after he expertly chested the ball in the back of the net after connecting with an Alejandro Garnacho volley.

Andre Onana’s ‘mistake’ vs Luton Town
Manchester United’s strong start against Luton Town fizzled away at the Kenilworth Road and Carlton Morris pulled one back for his side in the 14th minute.
Tahith Chong saw his shot deflected and the ball looped up in the air, with Morris in the right place and right time to nod the ball past United No 1 Andre Onana.
United fans were deeply divided over Onana after Morris found the back of the net, with the former Inter Milan and Ajax star having been heavily criticised this season.
Red Devils supporters on X, formerly known as Twitter, made their feelings clear on the 27-year-old Cameroonian, as United held on to their lead going into half-time.
Onana arrived at Old Trafford last summer and replaced David de Gea, who is a free agent, between the sticks after the United legend left the Premier League club.
However, the Cameroon international has been criticised over his form and consistency this season, with Onana often under pressure over his performances.
Man Utd fans react to Andre Onana’s display vs Luton Town
“I have zero confidence in Onana,” one fan said.
Another added: “The manager said he wants [a] ball-playing keeper but Onana is not one, IMO.”
Someone else defended Onana and argued: “It’s fashionable to blame Onana.”
While a fourth tweeted: “Did the club tell Onana that they weren’t including a clean sheet bonus in his contract?”
“There’s no way Ineos or any top sporting director can keep Onana, man,” a fifth posted.
Somebody else commented: “It was never Onana’s fault.”
And a seventh wrote: “Onana once again thinking he can come out and make a play but instead makes himself look incompetent.”
