Manchester United striker, Rasmus Hojlund, scored twice as they defeated Luton Town 2-1 on Sunday night.

Hojlund, at the age of 21 years and 14 days, has become the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League games.

He takes the record from Newcastle’s Joe Willock (21 years and 272 days).

He is now ahead of players like Erling Haaland, Romelu Lukaku and Thierry Henry, who all achieved the same feat at 22.

Hojlund arrived at Old Trafford in a £72 million deal during the summer of 2023.

The Denmark international took a while to start scoring in the league, with his first five goals for United all coming in the Champions League.
