Rasmus Hojlund bagged a brace in Man United's win over Viktoria Plzen
Mason Mount has sent Rasmus Hojlund a straightforward message on social media after the Manchester United striker netted twice to overcome Viktoria Plzen 2-1 in the Europa League.
Ruben Amorim's side fought to come away with their third victory on the bounce in the competition after trailing 1-0 shortly after the break. Hojlund, who replaced Marcus Rashford in the 56th minute, only needed six minutes to make an impact and score the equaliser.
A late strike ensured the win for United as they climbed to sixth place in the European standings prior to the late kick-offs. Taking to Instagram after the game, Hojlund shared a picture of his celebrations and aimed a subtle dig at the opposition, writing: "Decent Viktoria in Plzen."

Mount, who replaced Joshua Zirkzee at the hour mark and put in a strong performance, was spotted in the comments. He simply replied to Hojlund with a fire emoji, referring to the striker's form and performance.
Thousands of United fans also responded to Hojlund's post. One said: "Caption King and a super sub!," while another added: "Brilliant big man. More on Sunday please."
A third continued: "My striker," and another reminisced: "The second goal brought back memories of Bruno to Martial. Good finish."
Speaking to MUTV, Hojlund said: "It was bit difficult in the beginning of the game. We had to read them and they played man-to-man, so we got a little bit more control after the team talk at half-time.
"After that, we got loads more chances and we killed the game in the second half. I think the game suited me well. The opponent was brave to play man-to-man and that's where I have my qualities, running into the channels and killing the defenders with my speed and power.
"Getting in front for a goal and that's what I'm trying to do. I'm very happy with the two goals but the most important thing is getting the win and getting a step closer to the knockouts."
