Manchester United Beats Viktoria Plzen 2-1

Rasmus Hojlund's impressive second-half brace led Manchester United to a 2-1 comeback victory over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League, marking a crucial win for head coach Ruben Amorim. The match was precarious for United, who fell behind early in the second half due to a blunder from goalkeeper Andre Onana, allowing Matej Vydra to score for Plzen. Hojlund was substituted in and equalized in the 62nd minute, tapping in a rebound, before sealing the victory with a powerful shot from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick in the 88th minute. This victory is significant as it is United's first away win in Europe since March 2023, putting them in a strong position for knockout stage qualification. The win also alleviates some of the pressure on Amorim following a series of poor performances. As United gears up for a crucial derby against Manchester City, Hojlund's performance has raised calls for his inclusion in the starting lineup.
