Download Video: Viktoria Plzen vs Man United 1-2 Highlights | Europa League
Manchester United beat Viktoria Plzen 2-1 in today UEFA Europa League match.
Super-sub Rasmus Hojlund struck twice to spare goalkeeper Andre Onana’s blushes as Manchester United came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory at Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Europa League.
The Red Devils bossed possession but initially struggled to create much of note, with Bruno Fernandes seeing a 25-yard drive well saved in what was otherwise a dour first half.
The match then exploded into life on 48 minutes when Onana’s wayward pass inside his own area allowed the hosts to take advantage, with former Watford and Burnley forward Matej Vydra firing into an empty net.
Ruben Amorim responded with a trio of substitutions that altered the complexion of the game and one of those changes delivered almost immediately as Hojlund touched in Amad Diallo’s deflected cross-shot on 62 minutes.

The result means United have now won three of their six matches in the competition and are within reach of finishing in the top eight of the league phase.
Next up, United visit neighbours and reigning Premier League champions Manchester City in the English top-flight on Sunday afternoon.
