'The hard work pays off': Rasmus Hojlund admits relief after scoring his first Premier League goal for Man United... but dismisses claims that a weight has been lifted from his shoulders

Rasmus Hojlund was relieved to get his first Premier League goal for Manchester United when he scored the winner in a 3-2 comeback victory over Aston Villa, but the young Dane denied that it has lifted a weight off his shoulders.

Hojlund's decisive strike came in the 82nd minute of his 15th league game for United since signing from Atalanta for £72million in the summer.

The 20-year-old has scored five times in the Champions League for Erik ten Hag's side but a domestic goal had eluded him for 16 games if two Carabao Cup ties are included.
