Rasmus Højlund scored his first goal for Manchester United in the English Premier League during the Aston Villa match on Tuesday evening.
The Danish striker joined the Red Devils last summer from Atalanta for more than 70 million euros, hoping to fill the deficit in the outright striker position.
However, after half the season had passed, Højlund did not succeed in scoring any goals in the Premier League, while he shined in Europe by scoring 5 goals in the Champions League.
After a long wait, Højlund was able to untie the knot, and scored his first goal after participating in 15 matches with United this season in the English Premier League.
This goal was very important for United, as coach Erik ten Hag's squad completed a very important "remontada" against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Aston Villa led by two unanswered goals in the first half, before Alejandro Garnacho was able to score two goals and equalize for the hosts, then Højlund came with the winning goal in the 82nd minute.
Perhaps Højlund's goal celebration explains the amount of pressure he has been under recently, after he was the subject of criticism due to his goal deficit in light of United's great suffering this season.
