Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim watched his side come from behind against Viktoria Plzen.
Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves believes Rasmus Hojlund has established himself as Ruben Amorim's first-choice striker after he netted a second half brace in Thursday evening's 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League.
The Danish international stepped off the bench to turn the game in United's favour after Matej Vydra had earlier pounced on an Andre Onana error to fire the home side into the lead shortly after the half-time break at the Doosan Arena.
Netting his first goal within six minutes of coming off the bench, Hojlund scored on the rebound after Amad's initial effort was saved, before firing home his second two minutes from time, latching onto a brilliant pass from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick.

Hojlund replaced Marcus Rashford with 56 minutes on the clock and was immediately instructed to spearhead the attack. Joshua Zirkzee had started as United's No.9 and had failed to make any sort of impact.
Scoring four goals since Amorim's arrival at the club last month, Hojlund, who now has seven goals this term, is beginning to eat into last season's tally of 16. As a result, Hargreaves believes it is clear the former Atalanta man is Amorim's best option to lead the line, comparing his profile to that of Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres.
"Rasmus Hojlund is Ruben Amorim's best option down the middle, that is for sure," Hargreaves told TNT Sports. "I think Amorim had that idea beforehand as Viktor Gyokeres is a really similar profile in terms of physicality and size.
"Hojlund is a great athlete as well. There are things that himself and Joshua Zirkzee can work on but right now it is Hojlund, Amad and Bruno Fernandes are the ones creating opportunities for United."
