LUTON, England (AP) — The goals are suddenly flowing freely and easily for Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund.
That was about the only thing that came easily for United in a 2-1 win at Luton on Sunday, but the Dane's scoring form could be enough to fuel a late push for a top-four spot for Erik ten Hag's team.
Hojlund netted twice in the opening seven minutes at Kenilworth Road to become the youngest player to score in six straight Premier League games — after going scoreless in his first 14.
United spent much of the game hanging on after that, but managed to see out a fourth straight league victory that puts it just three points behind fifth-place Tottenham.
