Hojlund netted his first Premier League goal for the club with a late volley against Aston Villa, to give the Red Devils <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-aston-villa-alejandro-garnacho-rasmus-hojlund/blt90013af6db346849" target="_blank">a remarkable 3-2 win</a>, having been 2-0 down at half-time. However, Scholes believes he was fortunate to still be playing as he could have been substituted before Marcus Rashford took a knock.

WHAT HAPPENED?

United legend Scholes said to Premier League Productions: "He does get a little bit of luck with the goal. He’s lucky he’s on the pitch. But as Michael [Owen] said, I think it’s always best when you have not been scoring goals, to not have time about it and act on instinct. He has no time whatsoever [with the goal]. It happens in a flash of a second. The only thing he is thinking about is the far corner, it’s the only place he can score. Look, I’m so happy for the lad. It’s been a tough start to his Premier League career. Hopefully he can get up and running and score the goals he deserves to score."

Hojlund, too, will have felt an immense weight lifted from his shoulders, and he has spoken of being the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rasmus-hojlund-happiest-man-alive-ending-man-utd-goal-drought-alejandro-garnacho-slams-people/blt70821ed262c8c348" target="_blank">"happiest man alive"</a> after his goal.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

There is a swift turnaround in fixtures for the Red Devils, as they face Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Ten Hag's side are currently sixth in the table, five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham in the race for Champions League qualification.
