'A really similar profile' - I think Ruben Amorim has found his new Viktor Gyokeres at Manchester United

Rasmus Hojlund was the hero as Manchester United came from behind to defeat Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Ruben Amorim turned to his bench after his side went a goal down in the second-half, with Hojlund netting both of the goals in the 2-1 win, while Mason Mount and Antony also impressed with their performances in the match.

It was another fine performance from the 21-year-old in attack, who showed further signs of the untapped potential he has with two well-taken goals to complete the comeback for his side. The only criticism is that he could have even had a hat-trick after he wasted a glorious opportunity when he raced through on goal but fired straight at the 'keeper.

Hojlund still has a lot of work to do if he is to become one of the leading strikers in world football, though former United midfielder Owen Hargreaves believes he has the same raw attributes that made Viktor Gyokeres such a huge success under Amorim at Sporting.

"Rasmus Hojlund is Ruben Amorim's best option down the middle, that is for sure," he told TNT Sports after the win. "I think Amorim had that idea before hand as Viktor Gyokeres [at Sporting] is a really similar profile in terms of physicality and size. Hojlund is a great athelete as well. There are things that himself and Joshua Zirkzee can work on but right now it is Hojlund, Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes are the ones creating opportunities for United."
