Rasmus Hojlund has admitted to feeling 'cursed' during his long wait for a first Premier League goal at Manchester United.

Signed from Atalanta for £72million last summer, the Danish strike felt the pressure to perform at Old Trafford right from the start.

But despite goals in the Champions League, it took Hojlund 15 league games before he completed a turnaround from two-down to beat Aston Villa 3-2 on Boxing Day.

The 21-year-old has 16 goals in 42 outings across all competitions during his debut campaign for United, with the FA Cup final against Manchester City to come on Saturday.
