Hojlund's Frustration with Diallo: 'My Hat-Trick Was Ruined!'

In a crucial UEFA Europa League match, Manchester United secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Republic. The standout performer was Rasmus Hojlund, who netted both goals for the Red Devils after the home side took an early lead.

However, in the dying seconds of the match, a swift counter-attack presented United with a golden opportunity to extend their lead. Amad Diallo, advancing into the opponent's penalty area, opted not to pass to the unmarked Hojlund, resulting in a squandered chance. This decision visibly angered Hojlund, who had been poised to complete his hat-trick. He expressed his frustration with emphatic gestures towards Diallo, highlighting his disappointment at missing the opportunity.

This brace brings Hojlund's tally to five goals in the UEFA Europa League this season and seven across all competitions, underscoring his growing importance in Manchester United's attacking lineup.
