As Man United continue to flounder, Højlund gives Amorim hope

PLZEu0147, Czechia -- For much of the game against Viktoria Plzeu0148, you could understand why Manchester United are open to offers for most of their players.

Rasmus Højlund, however, looks like one who might have a future at Old Trafford under new head coach Ruben Amorim. The Denmark striker came on midway through the second half at Doosan Arena, and a UEFA Europa League tie that looked like it might end in an embarrassing defeat was won by the finest of margins.

Højlund scored twice, including an 88th-minute winner, to help United record a scrappy 2-1 win that moves them up into the top eight of the table.
