When Rasmus Hojlund scored and set up a goal for Manchester United against Wolves on Thursday, he joined Cristiano Ronaldo as the only players on that list.
After scoring a goal and setting up another one against Tottenham on January 14, the Dane helped United score two more goals in their dominant first half performance at Molineux. After only five minutes, he set up Marcus Rashford for the away teamâs first goal. It was the perfect reaction from the Englishman, who had been accused of being bad off the field. A little more than 15 minutes later, Hojlund scored himself by collecting a loose ball and putting it in from close range.

TNT Sports says that the Dane is now the youngest United player since Ronaldoâs first time at the club to score and set up a goal in two straight Premier League games. He is 20 years old. There were two more goals that Hojlund could have scored, but the offside flag stopped him. In reality, the forward was just one of many great players on Erik ten Hagâs team during one of their best first-half performances in a while.
At this point in the season, only Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has scored and set up goals in back-to-back league games (Squawka).
The Denmark international had a rough start at Old Trafford, especially in the league, but he now seems to be back to his best. Hojlund has scored four goals and set up two others in his last five games across all tournaments. Before that, he had gone eight games without scoring or setting up a goal.
