Hojlund FINALLY looks every bit the superstar Utd fans thought they were getting

It took just 37 seconds for Rasmus Hojlund to be inducted into a very special club.

His first minute goal at Luton, which saw him capitalise on a calamitous decision by Amari'i Bell before rounding the goalkeeper, made it six successive Premier League games with a goal.

Hojlund, the youngest player in Premier League history to achieve that feat, etched his name alongside four titans of United's history: Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Eric Cantona. Now United have four players to score in six successive Premier League appearances.

The records didn't stop there, with his opener United's fastest away goal in Premier League history.

At the rate he's going, records will continue to tumble for Hojlund. He is playing with a swagger, an arrogance - a compliment in this instance - that he belongs leading the line for a club the size of Manchester United.

For a shirt that is supposed to weigh heavier than most, it couldn't look lighter for the Dane right now.

He's got some way to go to matching the career totals of Cantona (82), Ronaldo (145) and Van Nistelrooy (150) at United, but since Boxing Day it is almost like fans are seeing the real Rasmus Hojlund. Statistically, he's one of the most lethal strikers in Europe's top five leagues since Christmas and he's showed no signs of letting up.

It has clicked and as Gary Neville put it during commentary at Kenilworth Road, he's the 'real deal' now without doubt.

For so long the 21-year-old, who United splashed £72million on, had to listen to the ridicule directed at him. Within a couple of months of the season starting he was lazily being labelled a 'bust' by critics. Some fans even began to express doubts.

But, crucially, two people never lost faith: Erik ten Hag and Hojlund.
