His positioning and finishing in this play demonstrated world-class forward ability. 

Thanks to his two goals, Manchester United turned the game around, and Amorin secured his first win as manager.

Højlund’s performance in this match not only showcased his ability but also won the approval of the new coach, Amorin. 

Højlund saves Manchester United!

From his early pressure to his crucial goals, he proved his attitude and value.

Højlund joined Manchester United last summer for a hefty €73.9 million, but his first season saw him score only 16 goals, which was underwhelming. 

This season, under Ten Hag, he has scored just 2 goals, continuing to struggle with form. 

Højlund impressed Amorin!

However, Amorin’s arrival seems to have sparked a turnaround. In this Europa League match, Højlund was fully activated.

Given Højlund’s outstanding performance in this game, he deserves more opportunities to start. 

If he can maintain this form and consistently score, his place in the starting lineup will be secure. 

For Manchester United, the team urgently needs a reliable goal-scorer, and Højlund’s breakthrough is undoubtedly a welcome boost!
