He first capitalised on a woeful pass by Amari’i Bell and calmly finished beyond goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski just 37 seconds into the game.

The goal saw Hojlund, 21, smash a Prem record as he became the youngest ever player to score in six consecutive league games.

Cầu thủ trẻ nhất ghi bàn trong sáu trận liên tiếp: Rasmus Hojlund: 21 tuổi 14 ngày Joe Willock: 21 tuổi 272 ngày Erling Haaland: 22 tuổi 73 ngày Romelu Lukaku: 22 tuổi 213 ngày Thierry Henry 22 tuổi 263 ngày

His run now stretches back to Boxing Day when he finally netted his first domestic goal in a thrilling 3-2 win over Aston Villa.

Hojlund has since kept his scoring boots on with strikes coming against Tottenham, Wolves, West Ham, Villa for a second time and now Luton.

United fans are delighted to see that their £72million man has found his feet at the club.

One said: “I couldn’t be more happier for him. I always knew he would be a superstar.”

Another added: “Ten Hag has made an unbelievable signing.”

A third commented: “All those haters have suddenly disappeared haven’t they.”

Just minutes after breaking the record, the 21-year-old netted again as an Alejandro Garnacho shot deflected in off his chest.

After the early double, it looked like United would have an easy afternoon, but it was anything but.

Just over 11,000 spectators were in attendance at Luton’s Kenilworth Stadium, which was soon rocking once again as the home team took control of the remainder of the first half. In the fourteenth minute, captain Carlton Morris pulled one goal back from close range.

Though the home team had several opportunities to score and even struck the crossbar in injury time, United held on for the victory to move just three points behind fifth-place Tottenham.

Hojlund failed to score in his first 14 league games for United but now has seven in his last six. The Dane, who turned 21 two weeks ago, became the youngest player to score in six straight Premier League games, breaking Joe Willock´s previous mark.
