Hojlund 'very happy' proving Man Utd matchwinner

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund was delighted to prove the matchwinner against Aston Villa on Tuesday night.

United came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 with Hojlund scoring the winner.

He later said: "It has been a while [waiting for a first league goal] but yes I am very happy. I am the happiest man alive right now. You can see from the celebrations as well. Like [Garnacho] said we believed in ourselves until the very end and got the win today.

"As the manager has said before I have scored a few goals in the Champions League but of course it has been a while in the Premier League before scoring. Now I have got it and I hope I can just build on that and keep going.

"Yes I remember the goal. First-time finish in off the post, good finish so I am happy. I am happy for the three of us attackers as well because we showed a lot of character today, and a lot of confidence."
