Video – Rasmus Hojlund draws Man United back on level terms at Old Trafford

Manchester United found themselves trailing early on against Nottingham Forest, but Rasmus Hojlund restored parity with a simple tap-in.

The Red Devils are aiming to return to winning ways after succumbing to a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in midweek, their first under Ruben Amorim.

However, Forest took the lead as early as the second minute through a corner kick. The towering Nikola Milenkovic rose well above Lisandro Martinez who was impeded by his height in this particular duel, to send a powerful header past Andre Onana.

Nevertheless, the Red Devils immediately went searching for an equalizer. And after coming close on a couple of occasions, Hojlund pulled it off in the 18th minute.

Rasmus Hojlund scores equalizer for Man United

Manuel Ugarte put Alejandro Garnacho through on goal with an exquisite pass. The Argentine found himself one-on-one with Matz Sels who went down the ground to deny a tamed shot with his body.

However, Hojlund was at the right place at the right time to coolly slot home the rebound and draw Man United back on level terms.

The former Atalanta man was given the nod ahead of Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee, and swiftly managed to extend his impressive goal-scoring run.

The home crowds at Old Trafford are now hoping for another strike to turn the result upside-down.
