Manchester United’s Danish duo Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund were both in action on Sunday evening, as Denmark beat Finland 1-0 in Euro 2024 qualifying thanks to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s late strike.

In Helsinki, our No.14 was active for the entire 90 minutes; Hojlund, a teammate from United, was added at the beginning of the second half.

Eriksen’s rasping free kick was expertly saved by Finland goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky after 19 minutes of play at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium.

The Red and Whites saw plenty of the ball, but they were forced to remain patient throughout the game. Kasper Hjulmand was operating out of his typically inventive number ten position for his team.

United’s summer signing Hojlund did well during his 45-minute cameo and stretched Finland’s backline throughout, marking his 8th cap for his country with victory in Group H.

Another Red was in action earlier in the day when Jonny Evans, a defender, led his nation as captain in Astana, Kazakhstan, where Northern Ireland lost 1-0.

Like Eriksen, Evans played the full 90 minutes, and Maksim Samorodov’s goal in the first half was the decisive score.

The Green and White Army lost 4-2 to Slovenia on Thursday, dropping them to fifth place in Group H after six games.

Now that the trio is scheduled to return to Carrington later this week, attention will soon turn to United’s upcoming Premier League matchup against Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday.
