Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane admitted to being impressed by striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The striker scored for the fifth successive Premier League game against Aston Villa.

Hojlund, who has been in a rich vein of form, netted in a 2-1 win for the Red Devils on Sunday.

Keane told Sky Sports: "Absolutely [he is delivering now].

“What every striker needs is a few goals to get that confidence, that belief, and he has got that over the last four or five games.

"He looks a different player. He looks strong, aggressive, he's taking his chances, he's got the desire to score a goal and if you look at him, he is a big, strong boy.

"I think it was tough when he first came to the club. If you think about it, he arrived on the back of an injury and he came into a United team not playing with any great belief and they weren't creating that many chances for him.

"But he has turned that around in the last few weeks through hard work and a bit of desire. His confidence [has improved]; when you put the ball in the back of the net, it just lifts it. If United want to get in the top four or five, then he has to continue scoring goals."
