Rasmus Hojlund is matching goalscoring records at Manchester United.

His 10 goals in the Premier League are the same amount as Marcus Rashford managed (ten) and more than Cristiano Ronaldo (nine), Danny Welbeck (nine) and Anthony Martial (four) scored in the season where they started at 20 years of age, reports StatmanDave.

With the FA Cup final to come, Hojlund is to become the first player to top score for United in his debut season since Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2016/17.

After Hojlund scored in victory at Brighton on Sunday, manager Erik ten Hag said: "I think he came in after we had scored a goal already from Diogo [Dalot] in behind but he came in and showed a very fresh influence like he did on Wednesday as well.

"Scoring two great goals and as you say I think he has made a very good impression here [in his first season]."
