Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has been hailed for his 'outrageous' finish with his chest to put the visitors two goals up at Luton Town. <br /><br />The Dane had put Man United calmly in front after just 36 seconds following an error from the hosts, but the second was a controlled move to direct a ball from Alejandro Garnacho into the back of the net with his chest.<br /><br />On Sky Sports commentary, Gary Neville said the Dane had done 'well' to control the ball in such an instinctive way into the back of the net.<br /><br />He added: 'The second goal has been coming. Since his first goal, United hasn't been letting up. <br /><br />'That's not a lucky deflection, I think he turns his chest deliberately there.<br /><br />'That's a really difficult skill to pull off. He's raw, he's unpolished but that's a fantastic goal from Hojlund.'<br /><br />Fans on social media were similarly quick to hail the 'outrageous' finish, which came after just seven minutes.<br /><br />One wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Rasmus Hojlund just scored with his chest. This guy is not normal.'<br /><br />Another noted: 'That was outrageous from Hojlund to react that quickly and chest the ball towards goal and in. Manchester United cruising.'<br /><br />'That is a ridiculous, and completely intentional, finish from Rasmus Hojlund. Elite stuff that!' wrote a third X user, whilst another simply said: 'Hojlund that's ridiculous strikers instinct take a bow'. <br /><br />While Hojlund's brace had put the visitors comfortably in control in the opening ten minutes, Luton's Carlton Morris was able to score a 14th-minute header to reduce the deficit. <br /><br />After three goals in the first quarter of an hour, the goalscoring ceased, and Manchester United won 2-1. <br /><br />Hojlund's early goal made him the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League games, 14 days after his 21st birthday. <br /><br />He surpassed Joe Willock's previous record of 21 years and 272 days old by rounding the goalkeeper and slotting home after Amari'i Bell's error. <br /><br />Holland started his goalscoring streak on Boxing Day, scoring the winner when the Red Devils beat Aston Villa 3-2 at Old Trafford.<br /><br />He also found the back of the net against Tottenham, Wolves, and West Ham before putting the Red Devils 1-0 up in their 2-1 victory over Aston Villa last week. <br /><br />Sunday's match at Kenilworth Road was attended by pop star Harry Styles, who was spotted wearing Manchester United kit during his time with One Direction.<br /><br />Styles, who also shares an unlikely friendship with Rio Ferdinand, met the Sky Sports team in the gantry before kick-off.<br /><br />The 30-year-old also enjoyed a kickabout with Man United legend David Beckham and his son Brooklyn in 2015.
