Rasmus Hojlund scores a record-breaking double

The 21-year-old became the youngest Premier League player to score in six straight games as he put United two up inside seven minutes – clinically finishing after 36 seconds following Amari’i Bell’s mistake, before instinctively chesting in Alejandro Garnacho’s shot from a corner.
Carlton Morris rounded off a scintillating opening 15 minutes by pulling one back and Luton should have levelled with several big chances – as they put United on the ropes, with Casemiro unlucky not to see red for lunging on Ross Barkley while on a booking.

United were more settled after the break – with Casemiro taken off at the interval having been fortunate not to have received a second yellow card – and should have put the game to bed as Bruno Fernandes and Garnacho both failed to score despite both rounding Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski.
