Are these the moments that sparked Hojlund and Amad’s furious full-time bust-up after Man Utd’s win over Plzen?

1 week ago 11

RASMUS HOJLUND and Amad Diallo were involved in a furious war of words at the end of Manchester United’s victory over Viktoria Plzen last night.

The Red Devils came from behind to beat their Czech opponents 2-1 courtesy of super-sub Hojlund‘s second-half double.

The Dane, 21, was United’s match winner but looked furious upon the final whistle.

As he shook hands with opposition players, Hojlund was confronted by Diallo.

The forward looked like he wasn’t interested in hearing what his team-mate had to say, with other United players quickly intervening.

Hojlund’s fury appeared to stem from an incident during stoppage time.

In the 93rd minute, Diallo had raced away down the right flank.

It appeared that he could squared the ball to Hojlund for what could have been the striker’s hat-trick.

Instead the Ivorian went himself, much to his team-mate’s frustration.

Just 45 seconds later Hojlund seemingly returned the favour, not passing to Diallo when the winger may have found himself through on goal.

After the game, boss Ruben Amorim was not concerned over the incident, in fact praising his players’ desire.

He said: “It’s a positive thing, a healthy thing, perfect. In this moment, we need to feel something, if we need to fight each other it’s like a family, for me it’s a very, very good sign.

“When you don’t care, you do nothing, when you care, you fight with your brother, with your father, with your mother.

“It’s a normal thing, so I leave it to the players and captain to calm things down.

“If it’s too much I will go inside the dressing room. But it’s their space, they have to talk, to fight — it’s very important.

“I am happy we win the game and still fight each other, that is a very good thing.

“When you win and you fight with your team-mate because you want to score one more. It’s a very good day for us.”

Hojlund now has five goals already under Amorim, having also scored a double against Bodo/Glimt and a Prem effort vs Nottingham Forest.

Quizzed about life under his new manager after the game, Hojlund said: “It’s early days. I know it sounds odd but we don’t get enough time on the training ground, so we have to train during the matches. But it’s getting better and better.”

The Red Devils will return to action on Sunday as they make the short trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City.

Man Utd ratings vs Plzen as Hojlund and Amad spare Onana's blushes are horror show

ANDRE ONANA had his blushes spared by Rasmus Hojlund as Manchester United fought back to win against Viktoria Plzen.

Here’s how SunSport’s Henry Tomlinson rated the Red Devils stars…

Andre Onana – 4

It was a very shaky start to the game in which Onana hurt Casemiro and failed to deal with the host’s crosses convincingly.

He made a massive error that led to Plzen taking the lead with his poor pass, leaving his defenders with no chance of bailing him out.

Diogo Dalot – 6

Dalot made some decent runs forward to join in with the attacks.

Defensively was fairly solid and was not often caught out.

Noussair Mazraoui – 6

Playing a bit more central, Mazraoui used his pace well to help out at the back.

Matthijs de Ligt – 6

He was sold short by Onana’s pass that led to the opener but otherwise was fine during the 90 minutes.

Lisandro Martinez – 6

Made himself available when Man United got forward but struggled with the physicality of the Plzen attackers.

Tyrell Malacia – 6

He offered very little going forward in the wing-back role as he struggled to combine with Marcus Rashford.

Casemiro – 6

He moved the ball forward when he could and recovered from an early blow from Onana.

Bruno Fernandes – 7

He was lucky to have escaped an early yellow card. Stung the goalkeeper’s gloves in the first half with a good effort.

His quick thinking set up Rasmus Hojlund to fire in a late winner.

Amad Diallo – 8

Diallo was a rare bright spark in Man United’s attack against Plzen.

It was his run that led to the equaliser, and he used his pace and skill to get past his defender.

Marcus Rashford – 4

Rashford was often loose on the ball and surrendered possession in the attacking third.

He received the first booking of the game for a needless foul and was lucky not to be sent off in the second half before being hooked by Ruben Amorim.

Joshua Zirkzee – 6

Took on the centre-forward role well, held the ball up and linked up play well enough.

Subs

Rasmus Hojlund 55′ – 8

Hojlund showed his striker instincts by being in the right position to grab Man United’s equaliser.

He then latched onto Fernandes’ clever pass to score the winner.

Antony 60′ – 6

He was involved in the equaliser by linking up with Diallo.

Mason Mount 60′ – 7

Made a positive impact after coming on and was unlucky not to score as he was denied twice by the goalkeeper after coming into the action.

Alejandro Garnacho 80′ – N/A

Failed to make a positive impact on his short spell on the pitch.

Manuel Ugarte 80′ – N/A

He slotted into the midfield as he replaced Casemiro late on.
