Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester United: Erik ten Hag’s side strengthened their Champions League ambitions with victory at Villa Park.
Rasmus Hojlund took a while to get off the mark in the Premier League after arriving at Old Trafford, but the Dane is now well and truly off to the races.
Harry Maguire rose high from a corner knocking the ball towards the young forward, who deftly placed his strike beyond Emi Martinez to give United an early lead.
Villa continued their hunt for an equaliser after the restart and again the breakthrough came from a corner as Douglas Luiz was on hand to level from close range.
The game looked destined to end level before substitute Scott McTominay once again proved the difference maker, with his header once again giving United the lead.
