Rasmus Hojlund matches impressive Cristiano Ronaldo record at Man Utd after picking up another goal & assist against Wolves

The Dane followed up his goal and assist against Tottenham on January 14 with another two goal contributions in United's dominant opening display at Molineux. He laid off Marcus Rashford for the away side's opener after just five minutes, in what was the perfect response from the Englishman amid reports of his ill discipline off the pitch. Hojlund then get on the scoresheet himself a little over 15 minutes later, using his poacher's instincts to turn home a scruffy goal from close range.

As a result, the Dane becomes the youngest United player, at 20 years old, to both score and assist in two successive Premier League games since Ronaldo's first spell at the club, per TNT Sports. Hojlund could have had two more goals, too, but for the intervention of the offside flag. In truth, the forward was just one of many standout players as Erik ten Hag's side produced one of their most impressive first-half displays in some time.

The only other Premier League player to score and assist in back-to-back league games this term is Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, per Squawka.

After a stuttering start to life at Old Trafford, particularly in the league, the Denmark international appears to have found his form. Hojlund has scored four goals and laid on two assists in his last five matches across all competitions, having gone on a drought of eight games without recording either before that point.
