Rasmus Hojlund Scores First Goal For Manchester United In 4-3 Champions League Defeat At Bayern Munich

Rasmus Hojlund has scored the 1st goal of his Manchester United career. It came 49 minutes into United's 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in Champions League Group A.

Rasmus Hojlund scored the first goal of his Manchester United career on Wednesday.

It came 49 minutes into United's UEFA Champions League Group A opener away at Bayern Munich.

Hojlund found the net with a clinical two-touch finish following an assist by Marcus Rashford.

The 20-year-old's goal brought United back into the game as it made the score 2-1 to Bayern following first-half strikes by Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry.

Hojlund, who joined United from Italian side Atalanta in a deal worth £72 million in August, was visibly thrilled as he punched the air inside the Allianz Arena.

But his joy was short-lived.

Bayern restored their two-goal lead less than five minutes later when Harry Kane converted a penalty kick awarded for a Christian Eriksen handball.

It was 3-2 in the 88th minute thanks to an improvised finish from Casemiro, who poked a low shot past Sven Ulreich while laying on his back inside the penalty area.

Mathys Tel then scored Bayern's fourth moments after coming on as a late substitute.

Casemiro found the net again deep into added time when he headed home from close range following a wicked Bruno Fernandes free-kick.

That proved to be the final action of the game as Bayern held on to win 4-3.
