After just 37 seconds, Hojlund gave the visitors the lead, which he doubled six minutes later when he deflected Alejandro Garnacho's attempt. Rasmus Hojlund's double in a quick start against Luton Town gave Manchester United a crucial English Premier League victory in their battle for European qualifying. Before taking control, Luton rapidly became better and equalized by a header from close range by Carlton Morris. Despite Ross Barkley's header hitting the crossbar, United prevailed to secure sixth place.
As gaps appeared behind the Luton defense, Erik ten Hag's team had opportunities to score a third goal. However, Garnacho squandered their finest chance, and Hatters keeper Thomas Kaminski made a series of excellent stops. After losing for the second straight game, Luton is still one point above the relegation zone and in fourth place.
