Rasmus Hojlund bags a brace on glorious Champions League display | OneFootball

Manchester United had two players in action in the Champions League for their respective loan sides.

To follow where all of United’s loanees are playing their football this season, click here.

Rasmus Hojlund

The Dane moved to Napoli in the summer and got off to the perfect start scoring on his debut versus Fiorentina.

His next few games were quiet to say the least but he burst into action in the 2-1 victory over Sporting CP in the Champions League.

Hojlund opened the scoring when he broke through the Portuguese defence and slid the ball past the keeper with aplomb.

The evening got even better for the Denmark international when he headed in Kevin De Bruyne’s superb cross after 79 minutes to restore the Serie A champion’s lead.

Hojlund scored two goals from two shots on target and completed 81% of his passing attempts.

He also made one key pass and won four out of his six aerial contests in a dominant display.

He was clearly very happy with his display and took to Instagram to comment, “‘Højlund scores twice in the Champions League after two assists from Kevin de Bruyne’ was not on my 2025 bingo card.”

Marcus Rashford

The England international grabbed his third assist in as many matches in FC Barcelona’s 1-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

In a quick break, Rashford expertly played a first time ball across the goal where Ferran Torres was unmarked to slot in Barcelona’s opening goal of the match.

In his 72 minutes on the pitch, he completed 75% of his passes and made one key one.

He also had one shot off target and another effort blocked.

Rashford was also successful in three of his six dribble attempts and four of his eight ground duels.

Toby Collyer

Collyer came on for the final 15 minutes of West Bromwich Albion’s 1-0 away win to Norwich City in the Championship.

He made 80% of his passes and won his only aerial contest.

Despite playing in six matches for the Baggies, he is still yet to make a start and will be desperate to get more time on the pitch to really influence a game in the centre of the park.
